Our Dancing Town
9pm, BBC2
Steve Elias is on an entertaining mission to get four Yorkshire towns dancing. Last week it was Barnsley. Tonight, it’s Skipton, a place of considerable natural beauty and a great deal of sheep-based history. Strange as this show may be, it works because Elias is a people person, as guilelessly open-hearted as his project. Although the locals are mystified by his appearance at a Skipton livestock auction, no one tells him to sod off, which seems like a good start. John Robinson
Meet the Trumps: From Immigrant to President
10pm, Channel 4
If you think you can bear to hear the words “Donald Trump” again without shuddering, this programme sees Anthony Barnett trace the president-elect’s ancestral roots back to his penniless German grandfather, who arrived in the US in time to run bars and brothels during the gold rush, as well as looking at the life of his mother, who travelled from the Outer Hebrides to work as a maid in New York before marrying his tycoon father.

Idris Elba: Fighter
10pm, Discovery
“No sport threatens your wellbeing the way fighting does,” Idris Elba notes at the outset of this doc. Quite why he’s decided to train as a professional kickboxer is a bit of a mystery then, but here we are. In this three-part series, the Wire man seeks to reach the level of pro fighter, aided by kickboxer-turned-Luther co-star Warren Brown and experienced trainers. This opener sees him decamp to Japan to learn martial arts and meditation. A bit silly, but Elba throws himself into it all with typical elan. Gwilym Mumford
This Is Us
11.05pm, Channel 4
The Pearsons’ humble washing machines provide a common thread to this week’s family flashbacks. In the present, Randall and Kevin have it out; cue further insight into how the brothers’ relationship soured, with 90s Kevin eschewing their shared room to camp out in the basement next to a noisy dryer. Plus, household appliances past help tell the story of Jack and Rebecca’s relationship highs and lows. If sometimes mawkish, it’s competent and occasionally crushing. Hannah J Davies
Sugar Free Farm
9pm, ITV
Second instalment of yet another reality show commissioned by hacking Alan Partridge’s Dictaphone: seven celebrities, a slender majority of whom you might just about have heard of, are dispatched to the Hampshire countryside to farm, and then live off, a natural and healthy diet. This enterprise is framed by the usual patronising voiceover and the customary massaged drama. Tonight, someone who was once on Britain’s Got Talent makes cheese. Andrew Mueller
Revolting
10pm, BBC2
Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein’s trite, derivative prankster satire trundles on. In tonight’s instalment, some Scots are unsurprisingly irritated by being called drunken savages. Britain First’s Paul Golding is revealed to be a paranoid Islamophobe (hold the front page!). And, in a sketch that has the feel of someone attacking a tank with a spud gun, spoof tabloid hack Dale Maily (take that, Dacre!) pointlessly harasses some BBC employees. Lame. Phil Harrison
The Paper Thistle: 200 Years of the Scotsman
10pm, BBC2 Scotland
Ken Stott narrates an inky-fingered history of the Edinburgh paper, first published in 1817. Things really livened up in the 1950s – up until then, the front page was reserved for classified ads – but despite changes in ownership and recent circulation issues, the Scotsman has remained a vital voice in turbulent times. Hacks past and present reflect on its legacy, with Andrew Marr recalling his days as a cub reporter. Graeme Virtue

Scott Pilgrim vs the World (Edgar Wright, 2010), 9pm, Comedy Central
Edgar Wright, maker of Brit comedies such as Shaun Of The Dead and The World’s End, defects to Canada for this whizzy adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel. It stars Michael Cera as geeky Scott Pilgrim, who, to win over rock chick Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), must defeat her seven evil, superpowered exes, in an entertaining blend of video game action and sweet romcom. Paul Howlett
