Kevin McCloud’s Escape to the Wild

Channel 4, 9pm

It seems slightly strange that Kevin McCloud, a man who baulks at the idea of people living on building sites on Grand Designs, would choose to escape to wild. But escape to the wild he has.

Having stayed with families in Belize, Chile and Tonga, in this final episode, McCloud meets Richard and Claire Rees who left Wales behind them for a life off-grid in a cabin in northern Sweden.

Banksy Does New York

Sky Arts, 9pm

Banksy’s residency in New York in October 2013 took the city by storm.

The elusive artist revealed a new piece of art each day via his Instagram account and website, leading New Yorkers and Banksy-hunters alike to travel across the city to see the work before it was vandalised or removed, after then-NYC mayor  Michael Bloomberg stated that Banksy was defacing public and private property.

In Banksy Does New York, filmmaker Chris Moukarbel interweaves user-generated content from across social media to document the responses of Banksy fans that became a phenomenon in itself.

Hoff the Record

Dave, 9pm

From the makers of An Idiot Abroad comes Hoff the Record, a close-to-the bone semi-improvised mockumentary about former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff.

With opportunities less abundant than they were back in The Hoff’s 1980s heyday, he moves to England to seek new career opportunities.

This week’s episode sees him turn his talents to becoming a UN Ambassador.  Naturally.
