Back In Time For Dinner, BBC Two, 8pm

A tasty programme idea this: take one very average British family and over the course of six episodes, run them through 50 years of British dietary changes using as your source material the National Food Library, a collection of diaries and surveys about what Britons ate across the decades. The plucky guinea pigs begin in 1950, with rationing still in operation. Typical ingredients for mum Rochelle to wrestle with include dried eggs, liver, dripping (ask your granny) and the National loaf, a standardised loaf introduced in 1942 and not abolished until 1956. Watching over it all are food writer Giles Coren and food historian Polly Russell.

Live UEFA Champions League, STV, 7.30pm

When Arsenal were drawn against French side AS Monaco in the last-16 of the Champions League the London club's fans probably assumed the second, away leg would be a mere formality. Manager Arsene Wenger might have known better, however, having once managed the French side. Now, after a disastrous 1-3 home defeat, the Gunners now have it all to do at the Stade Louis II. Three goals for no reply is the minimum needed and, as the pundits would say, it's a big ask. Talking of pundits, presenter Mark Pougatch will be joined in the studio by former Arsenal players Lee Dixon and Emmanuel Petit and Paul Scholes.
