Four contestants vie to convince judges they own a barn conversion. Plus Martin and Roman Kemp scope out their DNA. Here’s what to watch tonight

This Is My House

9pm, BBC One

Stacey Dooley hosts this new spin on Through the Keyhole, in which four hopefuls each aim to convince a team of celebrity judges that the house they are in is their own. In tonight’s opening episode, the actor Emily Atack, the interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and the comics Judy Love, Jamali Maddix and Bill Bailey try to guess which of the four Fern Maxsteads presented to them is the owner of a spacious barn conversion in Ashford, Kent. The action is plodding, but Dooley does her best to keep our attention. Ammar Kalia

The Terror

9pm, BBC Two

The menacing horror reimagining Capt Sir John Franklin’s real-life lost Arctic expedition continues.

The family history show continues with father and son Martin and Roman Kemp, who are a likable team with stark differences in their upbringings.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Ford, 1962), 2.35pm, Sky Cinema Greats
John Ford’s masterly western introduces a late note of cynicism to his romantic vision. It is about how James Stewart brings law and literacy to the town of Shinbone; his confrontation with a villain (Lee Marvin); rancher John Wayne’s part in it; and how the truth gets lost. Paul Howlett
