**Paul McCartney & Wings: Rockshow*
9pm, BBC4*
It was Macca's mission in the last days of the Beatles to get them to return to their roots and recapture the energy of being a live band. Wings was the enormously successful – if extremely average – outlet for this idea, captured here in this mercifully brutal edit of the band's 1976 US tour film. This 60-minute cut keeps it to the hits, before the mulleted Macca gets to some Fabs numbers. Hard to argue with solo versions of Blackbird and Yesterday, as delivered to 67,000 people. John Robinson
**Harbour Lives*
8pm, ITV*
Ben Fogle hangs around Dorset, talking to rugged fishermen and builders finishing off one of Sandbanks' priciest properties like a lost royal trying to get in touch with his people. Then it's a bit of wildlife-spotting before heading on to Poole to hang out with some jolly folk who think they're pirates. He's returning to the scene of childhood holidays, where he probably paid a tinker's son thruppence to carry his rod and act as a footstool during those idyllic days fishing off the harbour wall. Julia Raeside
**Wild Shepherdess With Kate Humble*
9pm, BBC2*
The final third of Kate Humble's agricultural trek takes her deep into the bushland of western Australia for a look at the changing face of sheep herding. The blighters are these days raised on an epic scale, the billion-dollar industry rapidly converting entrepreneurs into farmers. Humble also explores the less cuddly side of sheep farming, such as controversial live animal exports, and the process of embryo transfer, which is eerily similar to an ovine reboot in A Clockwork Orange. Mark Jones
**Britain's Secret Homes*
9pm, ITV*
Last episode of a series that has purported to tell the stories of Britain's 50 most startling historical buildings. If one can see past the irrelevant countdown conceit, and resign oneself to the celebrity presenters, this is mildly diverting popular history. Tonight's conclusion unveils the alleged top 10, including the house where John Logie Baird invented TV, the birthplace of Isaac Newton, a second world war interrogation unit and what might be Britain's oldest known homes, the limestone caves of Creswell Crags. Andrew Mueller
*The Graham Norton Show
10.35pm, BBC1*
Graham Norton may have been made more family-friendly of late, but the dildo-brandisher of the past still capers somewhere at the back of his consciousness; his chat show remains peppered with arch humour, and sycophancy is earned by guests rather than doled out to all, as with Jonathan Ross. Tonight's instalment is a best-bits clip show, in case you missed his sparring with Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas, Amy Adams and Will Smith, plus UK talent such as Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Ben Beaumont-Thomas
*In Conversation
8.30pm, Sky Arts 1*
Joss Whedon is a third-generation screenwriter, and his CV is a place where impressive achievements in cinema (script punch-up on Toy Story) vie with his popular originations on television (Buffy). This perfunctory career interview isn't devastating stuff, but it does reveal that under the serious auteur there does lie a rather more amiable movie and comics nerd. A versatile nerd, at that: not only did Whedon direct Avengers Assemble, at the same time he was working on an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, filmed in his own home. John Robinson
*Cake Boss: Next Great Baker
8pm, TLC*
Buddy Valastro, star of the long-running Cake Boss reality series, returns for a new series of the bake-off contest. He takes 13 pastry chefs and puts them through their paces for the chance to win $100,000 and the opportunity to work in his bakery. First off he has the contestants each make a dessert and then travel across New York by waterway and on foot to deliver it, and then they are challenged to create a Mexican fiesta-themed cake for actor and US X Factor host Mario Lopez's wedding. Martin Skegg
*Live T20 Cricket: Yorkshire v Lancashire
5.30pm, Sky Sports Ashes*
In anticipation of the titanic five-Test series between England and Australia, Sky have renamed their second sports channel Sky Sports Ashes, with wall-to-wall cricket, in its many variants, on offer until the end of August. Today then, a Twenty20 encounter between roses rivals Yorkshire Vikings and Lancashire Lightning. The hosts were victorious in this clash last year, while the visitors boast the talents of veteran Aussie batsman Simon Katich. Gwilym Mumford Reported by guardian.co.uk 5 days ago.
