TV tonight: the truth about the environmental impact of Coca-Cola

Dispatches: Coca-Cola’s Dirty Secret

8pm, Channel 4
The brand is considered socially evil in more ways than one, but Coca-Cola’s environmental impact is the specific focus of this report. Ellie Flynn – a self-confessed Coca-Cola addict – investigates the reality of what happens to the 2bn bottles of the product consumed every year in the UK, and its claims about recycled plastic and water sustainability.

Tonight: Kids in Poverty – Britain’s Shame

8.30pm, ITV1
The number of children living in poverty in the UK is the highest it’s been for 20 years – more than 4 million. In this report, the journalist Paul Brand speaks to families in the thick of it and Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, who grew up in a very low-income family. HR

Murder, They Hope

9pm, BBC Two
Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson revive their comedy chemistry as tour bus detectives Terry and Gemma. On the way to their wedding, they join a surprise couples therapy retreat populated by a stellar cast, which, of course, turns things into a light whodunnit. As the body count rises, only Ed Sheeran-based clues and sheer sleuthing can save them. Hannah Verdier
