*Golf: WGC-Cadillac Championship
6pm, Sky Sports 4*

Opening day's coverage from Doral, Florida of the elite event featuring top ranking players from the Official World Golf Ranking, PGA and European tours. PGA world number one Tiger Woods was victorious here last year, and will be looking to continue an impressive run of form on this course – the 2013 championship was his seventh overall. Stiff competition should be provided by Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose, who won the tournament in 2013. Gwilym Mumford

**Holiday Hit Squad*
8pm, BBC1*

Angela Rippon, Helen Skelton and Joe Crowley return, donning their factor 40 and heading off in search of pressing consumer issues for holidaymakers. The perils of hotel balconies are given startling illustration from Lee Charie, who survived a fall in Thailand, but lost a quarter of his skull in the process. In fact, it's pretty much all cautionary, but seeing Angela doing a ride-along with the Turkish police to a soundtrack of KRS-One's block party classic Sound Of Da Police is worth the admission price alone. Ben Arnold

**The Hoarder Next Door*
8pm, Channel 4*

There lives a woman in Kent who hoards not just things, but animals. Michelle's menagerie includes two dogs, a cat, rabbits in double figures, guinea pigs, and chickens. Understandably, her husband, Andrew, is a bit fed up, not least because they've both recently been made redundant. Psychotherapist Stelios Kiosses is on hand to help. In Sussex, a collector couple (he collects Buddhist art, she collects SpongeBob paraphernalia) are persuaded by professional declutterers to try letting go. Bim Adewunmi

**It Takes A Thief To Catch A Thief*
8pm, Channel 5*

New series in which a reformed tea leaf and a copper travel up and down the country pulling scams on a nation of shopkeepers. It's a simple, double-pronged approach: Richard Taylor, the titular ex-"thief", helps himself to half a shop before policeman Will Davies ambles up and exposes the gaping holes in their security, while everyone face-palms themselves. In tonight's opener, tricky Dicky near-empties a Birmingham hardware store in minutes, and hurls value goods down his specially adapted trousers in Cleethorpes. Ali Catterall

**37 Days*
9pm, BBC2*

How did the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, lead Europe's powers into war? The story is told here from the perspective of politicians and diplomats simultaneously working for national advantage and ways to avoid conflict. In truth, this occasionally makes for a slow-moving drama, but there's also much to admire. In particular, Ian McDiarmid as foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey adeptly draws out the nuances of Mark Hayhurst's script. Continues tomorrow. Jonathan Wright

*Coronation Street – A Moving Story
9pm, ITV1*

After more than 8,000 episodes, the residents of Weatherfield are moving to a hi-tech replica of their current set two miles away in Salford. Whether this warrants its own documentary is debatable, especially when it consists primarily of the reflections of a few impressively inarticulate cast members interspersed with shots of a Manchester building site. Marginally more interesting is the look back at the technical changes seen by the once painted-on cobbles over the past six decades. Rachel Aroesti

*The Smoke
9pm, Sky One*

There are yet more grim twists for troubled firefighter Kev (Jamie Bamber) in episode three of Sky's new drama. East London's White Watch are worse for wear, having scaled one of London's tallest buildings to rescue a man from a romantic gesture gone awry. On the personal front, things are looking particularly bad for Little Al (Shameless's Gerard Kearns), who has fixed the result of a cagefight for a local crim. Elsewhere, a drunken Mal spills the beans about his liaison with Kev's girlfriend Trish. Hannah J Davies

*Anna Nicole
Lifetime, 9pm*

The giddy rise and demise of Playboy and reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith attracted the attention of composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, who wrote an opera about her life. This biopic tells more conventionally of how an ordinary girl made herself into a Monroe-esque beauty who caught the eye of elderly billionaire J Howard Marshall (Martin Landau), leading to an inheritance dispute still unresolved after Smith died of a drugs overdose. Sad, but the TV treatment flattens out her bumpy story somewhat. David Stubbs Reported by guardian.co.uk 1 hour ago.
