Madonna & Graham

10.40pm, BBC One
In 1983, Madonna played her first ever UK show at Camden Palace (now Koko). It’s only right, then, that she returns to the venue for this world-exclusive interview to mark her big comeback with her new album, Confessions II. Superfan Graham Norton is the man for the job, as the intimate chat hears Madge reflect on the early days, her relationship with the UK and this next chapter. Hollie Richardson

What Happened at the Somme

7.30pm, BBC One
This documentary commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme covers a lot of ground in half an hour. It’s a family history, a battlefield tour and an insight into modern tensions in presenter Jordan Dunbar’s native Belfast. It could possibly do with refining its focus, but it’s still frequently fascinating and affecting. Phil Harrison

Gardeners’ World

8pm, BBC Two
Considering the unpredictable weather, Gardeners’ World has slipped into aspirational viewing as the thought of popping outside in your Crocs to do some weeding looks like an increasingly sodden or scorching prospect. Here, Monty floats through Longmeadow in full sunshine mode, buffing up his borders for that endless balmy summer. See, I told you, aspirational. Priya Elan

Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids

8pm, Channel 4
Back to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for more slightly idealised but seductive family farming fun. It’s summer, and shepherd Amanda’s kids are enjoying wholesome countryside pursuits including river swimming and searching for peacock chicks. However, there are more serious challenges for the adults as a vital bridge threatens to collapse. PH

Celebrity Gogglebox

9pm, Channel 4
This celeb version of the square-eyed series is the opposite of appointment TV: the kind of show you would never make a point of watching but are happy to land upon. This time, the couch potatoes include Rylan and his mum, Mo Gilligan and Babátúndé Aléshé, and, of course, Bez and Shaun. PH

St Denis Medical

11.30pm, BBC One
It’s not quite The Office (UK or US), but this medical mockumentary is more solid than its graveyard slot might indicate. As season two concludes, Joyce hosts a ceremony to open the hospital’s new and very unfortunately named White Women’s Birthing Centre, before doctor Ron undergoes an operation of his own.
