Pick of the day: Dolly: The Sheep That Changed The World
9pm, BBC Two
The Roslin Institute near Edinburgh was once a little-known, no-frills agricultural research centre established to increase post-war food production. That changed when funding was threatened in the 1980s and the institute redirected into genetic engineering, specifically with the aim of finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. And then in 1997, they created a sheep named Dolly, the first mammal to be genetically cloned, and the worlds media came knocking at this quiet corner of Midlothian. This documentary (already shown in Scotland) meets the scientists who worked in secret to crack the holy grail of replicating life.
8pm, ITV
The canine-friendly presenter tries to train an overly eager German shepherd puppy that does not know how or when to calm down. Elsewhere, he works to gain the trust of a terrified West Highland terrier that is too scared to even set foot on the soil outside and works with Battersea staff to encourage the petrified dog to come out of its shell.
9pm, BBC One
Semi-final week continues with the chefs cooking outside the MasterChef kitchen for the first time, opening a pop-up kitchen at a warehouse micro-brewery in the heart of east London. Working on makeshift workstations with limited equipment and no ovens, the semi-finalists must adapt their fine-dining style to impress 14 guests from the culinary world. After that, they return to the studio for a cook-off, serving up a single dish that they hope is good enough to see them join the final line-up.
9pm, Channel 4
Kevin McCloud, Damion Burrows and Michelle Ogundehin visit the final five properties, one of which is added to the shortlist, before the overall winner is announced. This week, they focus on houses that reinvent beloved established types of building, including a 21st-century reboot of the classic Kentish oast, a low-key eco-home in Devon which turns the idea of the country house on its head and a cool contemporary reimagining of the suburban family house in Surrey.
10pm, Sky Documentaries
The docuseries telling the story of Britains 40-year battle with HIV, from the first recorded UK case in 1981 right through to the present day, concludes with a double bill. It begins with a look at how the first government-sponsored national Aids awareness adverts (including that notoriously oblique Dont Die of Ignorance slogan) appeared to cut through some of the prejudice, butthe lack of effective medicine or vaccine hits hard.
10.35pm, BBC One
Highlights of Sunday nights ceremony in Coventry, which acknowledges the best black music in the UK, Africa, the Caribbean and beyond. Dave, the British-Nigerian rapper who topped the charts with his long-awaited second album Were All Alone in This Together, leads the nominations with five, closely followed by drill rapper Central Cee. Theyll both be performing, along with Little Simz, Cleo Sol and Arlo Parks, the singer-songwriter who won this years Mercury Prize.
