The Fashion ShowArena, 8.30pmWe're halfway through this Project Runway knock-off, so there's no more working in teams. But the designers' delight at being able to show off their individual genius evaporates upon learning they have to design outfits for a bunch of "real" women.Blood, Sweat and TakeawaysBBC Knowledge, 9.30pmAn admirable series in which six young Britons spend four weeks in South-East Asia to get a taste of the hard work and miserable conditions of the workers who produce their food. The Brits have very different takes on food but none has any real idea of where it comes from. Upon arriving in Indonesia, they are shown around the cramped homes of tuna cannery workers, then put to work on the gutting and filleting lines. Later, two of the guys head out on a fishing trawler and find that life at sea is even harder than working in the cannery.
