TV tonight: an odd hour in which Bear Grylls meets the Ukrainian president

Bear Grylls Meets President Zelenskyy

8pm, Channel 4

Sending a celebrity survival expert to Kyiv may seem slightly misjudged – but apparently President Zelenskiy invited him for an interview. Thankfully, throughout the hour, Grylls drops his dramatic TV persona and is empathic as he speaks to a journalist whose father died in the war and a civilian who became a soldier overnight. He then takes a walk with the president. Hollie Richardson

Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled

10pm, Dave

The seventh series of the comic’s unscripted, unrehearsed chatshow continues with guests Stephen Mangan, Isy Suttie, Jordan Gray and Seann Walsh. Hot topics include lateness, why gravy jugs are called “boats” and what “jizz” means in bird-spotting lingo. It’s scrappy, but not without laughs. Alexi Duggins
