Food Unwrapped (C4, 8pm)

BELIEVE it or not, this is the 19th series of Food Unwrapped, but it seems there are still plenty of fascinating food facts to uncover and kitchen myths to bust. In the first episode of the run, Helen Lawal is heading to one of the world’s biggest coffee factories to find out how they put the froth in instant cappuccinos. Matt Tebbutt visits Italy to find out why the country dominates the market in tinned tomatoes, while Kate Quilton is on her own European adventure to learn why panettone lasts so much longer than most other cakes.

MasterChef (BBC1, 8.30pm)

IT’S been a tough six weeks that has seen some extraordinary cooking, but the final is here and one of the class of 21 is about to become the 17th MasterChef Champion. Before they can take the title, the remaining contestants have to produce the three best dishes of their lives for judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace. In just three hours, they’ll be expected to rustle up a meal that will demonstrate how much they have learned during their experience and push their culinary boundaries.

Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure (C4, 8.30pm)

THIS new series from comedian Rosie Jones had the working title Rosie’s Great British, Female Gay, Disabled, Covid Compliant Adventure, which isn’t exactly snappy but is certainly descriptive. It also tips viewers off that this isn’t going to be quite the same as the many other travelogues we’ve seen recently in which celebrities explore parts of Britain. In the first episode she goes to the Lake District with Scarlett Moffatt, while Olivia Colman provides the narration.

Have I Got News for You (BBC1, 9.30pm)

VIEWERS won’t be too surprised to see the long-running satirical show is back for a 61st series – it even found a way to keep going during the uncertain days of the first lockdown, although fans were glad when the audience made a virtual return. In this episode, stalwarts Paul Merton and Ian Hislop are joined by guest host David Tennant and panellists comedian Jack Dee and journalist Helen Lewis. As ever, there should be plenty for them to talk about, even as the roadmap (hopefully) offers some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.
