Tonight's TV highlights

A Farmer's Life For Me 8pm, BBC2 Putting on a proper old grumpy face to prove this is a little more than just another reality TV show, Jimmy Doherty fronts a series in which nine towny couples compete for the chance to run a 25-acre Suffolk farm. The first challenge the hopefuls face is choosing one of nine small plots and working out how to make it pay, before embarking on initial work such as ploughing, putting up fencing and buying livestock. As Jimmy says, agriculture isn't just about living the good life, it's a business. JW Do We Really Need The Moon? 9pm, BBC2 Maybe not a question that you ponder every day, but for space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, the answer is a resounding yes. She also thinks we take the moon for granted when, in fact, it's integral to life on our planet. Formed some 4.5bn years ago, the moon holds sway over the tides and dictates the length of the day and the rhythm of the seasons. Aderin-Pocock simulates our world with a moon at slightly different distances and watches the ensuing chaos as the tides and climate fluctuate; a moot observation given the moon is actually moving away from us. MS How TV Ruined Your Life 10pm, BBC2 Commencing with a cheerful explanation of how all of us are utterly alone in this world, Charlie Brooker turns to TV's treatment of love and how the "flickering fibbing machine" has misled us about romance. He skewers the myths about soul mates and the importance of the grand gesture, and shows how TV's insistence on photogenic beauty raises unrealistic expectations. A little obvious in places, but always redeemed by Brooker's verbals, which soar to inspired heights in an extended description of his own face. DS Boardwalk Empire 9pm, Atlantic A bloody big gun to launch Atlantic. Scorsese, Sopranos writer Terence Winter, Steve Buscemi and a reported $18m for the pilot alone transport us to 1920s New Jersey at the start of prohibition. Buscemi is a corrupt Atlantic City official and Kelly Macdonald is the young Irish widow who comes to him for help. Dripping with quality, its only failing is the lack of meaty female roles: you're either meek or a floozy in this town. Still, Buscemi's complex performance is enough to enthral from the get-go. Blue Bloods follows at 10.30pm, in which Tom Selleck plays the patriarch of an NYC family of cops. JNR World's Youngest Daredevils 9pm, Sky Living Myleene Klass is the host for this special on risk-taking tweens, shown as part of Sky Living's relaunch. The subject is lively enough, but WYD struggles to decide whether it wants to be a serious exploration of hyperviolent sport or the fluffy fare upon which Living has built its reputation. An opening section on a cocksure young bullfighter proves fleetingly illuminating, though subsequent features on child cage-fighters and a 12-year-old lion tamer are surprisingly devoid of interest. A wasted opportunity. GM Secret Diary Of A Call Girl 10pm, ITV2 Secret Diary … is back for a fourth series, and it's as tawdry and tacky as ever, and not even in a good way. Belle returns from her extended break and gets straight back to business. Drippy beau Ben hangs around, hoping to put things right, while a barrister hires her to help him get over his inability to find pleasure in straightforward sex. Billie Piper remains the only decent thing about it, but the endless zany editing and the fact that it's hard to like or care about a single character makes it something of a joyless slog. RN
