Rob Brydon is hosting a new game show that follows the Squid Game trend of team racers (see 99 to Beat, Beast Games, The 1% Club). Across the series, 81 contestants stand on a tile representing a theme on a square floor. Two players go head-to-head in a quick duel: the loser is out of the game and the winner takes his square. Whoever wins the entire floor takes home a prize of £50,000. Holly Richardson

Back to Black, 10pm, on BBC Two

Marissa Abella was always hiding without trying to sing just like the late Amy Winehouse in the Sam Taylor-Johnson biopic. But she delivers a vocal imitation with impressive style and flair, along with a sensitive performance as the young London singer who has achieved a meteoric rise but falls victim to alcoholism and bulimia. Her angry love — also known as “toxic codependency” — with Blake Fielder-Civil (Jack O’Connell) and her interactions with her grandmother (Lesley Manville) and father Mitch (Eddie Marsan), rather than her music, provide the central thrust of the tragic drama.
