Coronation Street
7.30pm, ITV1

Tonight, Ken finds himself up an ultimatum without a paddle. To wit: a life of unfettered sexual and intellectual bliss on a barge with Stephanie Beacham? Or Findus crispy pancakes and corn plasters on a DFS recliner with Deirdre Barlow? Over to you, Dame Fortune.

English Heritage
9pm, BBC2

Park Hill, Sheffield: a vast early-60s housing complex that looms over the city like a madman's honeycomb. With the bees long gone, its corridors are now occupied by a quiet family of abandoned syringes, some empty crisp packets and the inappropriate similes of a caretaker called Granville ("she's like a lovely mistress"). Enter Simon Thurley and the English Heritage massive, their plans for refurbishment, refurbishment, refurbishment promising to - architecturally and stylistically speaking - put a donk on it. Here, in part two of this splendidly wry series, cameras follow the renovation process until the recession launches a wrecking ball at the project's hardhat and everything goes panic-shaped. Smashing. Literally.

Boy Meets Girl
9pm, ITV1

Wholly winning gender-swap drama from the same "comparatively complex premise" paddock as Lost in Austen and Ashes to Ashes. Here, a bolt of lightning leads to a massively unlikely "body trade" scenario between brash beauty journalist Rachael Stirling and right-on conspiracy theorist Martin Freeman ("I need a slash") both of whom, acting-wise, are brilliant. What follows is a modern fairy tale with teeth.

Blues Britannia: Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?

9pm, BBC4

Tremendous, feature-length documentary that charts Britain's love affair with the blues. From the word-of-mouth underground blues nights of the late 1950s to the electric explosion of the late 1960s, the tale is relayed via the recollections of those who went down to the crossroads and fell down on their white, middle-class knees (having first removed any pebbles so as not to disrupt the nap of their favorite cords, naturally). Among the contributors are Jack Bruce, Mick Fleetwood and something that appears to be an oscillating Triassic tangerine but is, alas, merely Keith Richards, laughing.
