Idris Elba: No Limits

Discovery, 9pm

Drag racing, aerobatics, rally driving and land speed record attempts might seem like the perfect training ground for a would-be James Bond, but Luther star Idris Elba has denied that he will be taking that baton from Daniel Craig.

Instead, Elba is fuelled by a long-standing passion for speed. No Limits sees Elba progress from racing homemade go-karts in London's Finsbury Park as a boy to taking part in the Circuit of Ireland rally, one of the oldest in the world.

ITV, 9pm

ITV's new behind-the-scenes look at one of Britain's most iconic airlines sees its founder Richard Branson trotted out to celebrate Virgin Atlantic's 30th anniversary.

Air travel is a notoriously fickle business, which has led to a two-year recruitment freeze. Now that has finally thawed, we meet 58-year-old grandma Katrine. She's attempting to fulfil her lifelong dream to become a trolley dolly, but how will she fare against the 1999 other candidates?

This World - Children of the Gaza War

BBC Two, 9pm

The BBC's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet meets children from Israel and Gaza who have lived through three major conflicts in the last six years.

"It's so not fair," says 10-year-old Michael, who lives less than a mile from the Gaza border. "Your home is supposed to be the safest place in the world for you. But it's just not true."

Doucet also meets 12-year-old Samar, who took refuge with her family in a UN school after the Israeli army told them to leave their home. Samar lost her father when a rocket hit the school.

"The whole building collapsed on top of us," says Samar, "They had to pull us out of the rubble. What does all this have to do with us?"

The film follows Samar as she tries to build a life with no father, no home and with her mother in intensive care.

Married at First Sight

Channel 4, 9pm

If you've ever sat at home thinking that Take Me Out lacked gravitas or that Blind Date didn't go far enough, then boy-oh-boy will you love Married at First Sight.

The show does what it says on the tin. A panel of experts will match couples based on a range of scientific and sociological criteria, while the couples themselves won't meet until they're moments away from saying "I do" in front of their friends and family.

Many of the candidates, who are mostly in their thirties, say that work and travelling has got in the way of meeting 'the One.'

Jerome, 30, says he will do "will do anything to meet the one even if that means embarrassing myself on national television."
