TV tonight: Bear Grylls and Brie Larson dodging crocs

Running Wild With Bear Grylls

7pm, National Geographic

Scout leader extraordinaire Bear Grylls is back to ferry another series of celebs through camera-filled wildernesses, beginning this season with Captain Marvel actor Brie Larson. Brie and Bear are in the seemingly idyllic Gulf of Panama, hacking their way through a mangrove swamp on a remote island to make it to their helicopter ride out. Yes, the premise is entirely contrived, and their encounter with a crocodile is a little too Fort Boyard, but Larson acts the part superbly. Ammar Kalia

The Trial of Christine Keeler

9pm, BBC One

The trial of the decade begins at the Old Bailey, but it’s Stephen Ward (James Norton) who’s in the dock.

Altogether now: “Well, he would, wouldn’t he?” Ellen E Jones

Film choice

Son of Saul, 11pm, BBC Two

Hungarian director László Nemes’s debut is an unflinching account of the horrors of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Focusing tightly on the haunted features of inmate Saul, hanging on to a vestige of humanity by trying to arrange the burial of a boy he believes to be his son, it’s a stunning experience.
