Wild Britain With Ray Mears
8pm, ITV1
Ray Mears's easygoing wildlife tour of the UK continues in the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, a vast low-lying wetland dominated by water features and reed beds. Here, in his hunt for interesting wildlife, he has the problem of seeing through the dense growth, but with local expert help he manages to come up with some rare and remarkable creatures, including Britain's tallest bird (the common crane, recently returned to the area after 400 years), the beautiful British swallowtail butterfly, hard-to-spot Chinese water deer and one of the country's biggest spiders.

Unreported World
7.30pm, Channel 4
Even after umpty-five series, Unreported World continues to serve as a) a good thing in its own right, and b) a standing rebuke to
Channel 4 for its lamentable lack of current affairs programming elsewhere in its schedule. This episode sees reporter Jenny Kleeman visit the lobster divers of Honduras's Mosquito Coast, men who risk their own health daily to deliver the prized crustaceans to restaurants in richer countries than theirs. Kleeman and director Daniel Bogado do everything but dive themselves, hunkering on a boat crowded with desperate (and often drunk and stoned) divers. Exemplary reportage, as ever. Andrew Mueller
God's Composer
8pm, BBC4
Stage star Simon Russell Beale is in Spain for the latest in his sacred music investigations. He's there to celebrate the life and work of Tomás Luis de Victoria on the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance composer. A musician, priest and mystic, Victoria was born in the ancient city of Avila and studied in Rome, which was by
then the musical and cultural centre of the Renaissance. He spent 30 years as the choirmaster in the convent of Las Descalzas Reales, producing remarkable devotional music. As ever, Harry Christophers' The Sixteen choir bring the music to life, this time in a stunning baroque church in Madrid. MS
Peter Kay Night
From 9pm, Channel 4
The rotund northern success story presents his "43 Greatest Comedy Moments", some of which he modestly awards to other comedians. We're also promised outtakes and previously unseen footage, followed by his homecoming show at Bolton's town hall, a performance that became the bestselling standup DVD in UK history, although Phoenix Nights, absent from this lineup, remains his best work.

Lionel Richie – Dancing On
The Ceiling
9pm, BBC4
The BBC America season continues to throw up odd documentaries on musicians you may well have been curious about, like Prince, and ones you've never given a second thought, like Lionel Richie. An ambitious chap, Lionel's membership of the Commodores gave him the equipment to deal with success, but nothing could quite have prepared him for the drama of the Hello video, and the popularity among the people of Iraq it inexplicably brought him.
