The celebrity architect returns to meet people taking on huge building projects for powerful personal reasons. He starts in Derbyshire, where married couple Lauren and Lee have inherited an old cottage from Lauren’s beloved grandparents in Matlock Bath.

Spain With Michael Portillo

8pm, Channel 5
Vintage tram rides, almond farming and a fair bit of eating are on Portillo’s itinerary as he hits Mallorca, starting in Palma. He then heads north, near the Tramuntana mountains, where he fuels up on an open sandwich called pamboli and ensaïmada, a Jewish pastry. HR

The Apprentice

9pm, BBC One
The Sugar babies take on the hazardous if potentially lucrative children’s story and audiobook market, a field where reputations are rocket-boosted – or cancelled.

Much-needed comic vitality … Jamie Lee Curtis with Emma Mackey in Ella McCay. Photograph: 20th Century Studios

Ella McCay (James L. Brooks, 2025) Disney+
The return to directing of James L Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News) after 15 years is a cause for celebration, as is a lead role for the great Emma “Sex Education” Mackey. This comedy-drama about an idealistic 34-year-old (Mackey) thrust into the role of state governor may not be as good as it gets for either of their careers, but the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis (as Ella’s sharp-tongued aunt) and Woody Harrelson (as her estranged father) give the film some much-needed comic vitality.

Name Me Lawand (Edward Lovelace, 2022) 2.50am, Channel 4
Edward Lovelace’s deeply touching documentary tries to give hearing viewers an insight into a deaf world, while probing the trauma faced by asylum seekers. Lawand is a young Iraqi Kurd who comes to the UK and attends the Royal School for the Deaf in Derby. Muffled sounds, silence and closed captions add depth to the story he and his family tell about his struggle to adjust to a new life and learn to communicate – particularly as his parents won’t learn sign language. Their fight against deportation comes down to how successful Lawand is at the school, adding to the pressure this engaging, hopeful child feels. SW
