The City Uncovered with Evan Davis BBC2, 9pm Today's top twinkler, Evan D, heads into the world of the City's risk professionals: derivatives whizzkids and hedge-fund managers.

Dave Gorman in America Unchained Channel 4, 10.50pm Edinburgh Fringe fave Dave Gorman seeks the true independent spirit of America. Disillusioned during previous US visits by identikit chain hotels and the corporate face of America, Gorman hatched a plan: return Stateside, buy a second-hand car, then drive from coast to coast without spending any money in the chains. He wants to refuel at dusty gas stations on lost highways and eat cherry pie from local diners, but are there actually any left? Digital Gossip Girl ITV2, 9pm Welcome again to Manhattan's Upper East Side, where gossip rules and affluent prep-school students find themselves with the money, access and appetite to explore all the temptations New York City has to offer. Based on the best-selling series of young adult novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, the drama is told through the eyes of an all-knowing blogger - the titular Gossip Girl - who is determined to uncover and fuel every scandal possible via constant, avidly-read text messages. Bremner, Bird and Fortune: Silly Money More4, 9pm Satire's holy trinity argue that while money makes the world go round, it also makes it go pear-shaped.

CutThroat Island Film4, 9pm Renny Harlin's action adventure is a good old-fashioned return to the days of swashbuckling pirate movies. Geena Davis plays Morgan Adams, whose pirate father bequeaths her one-third of a treasure map. Her two uncles have the other two sections while an evil third uncle, Dawg Brown (Frank Langella), is after the complete map and the treasure. Matthew Modine plays William Shaw, a convict Adams buys at a slave auction to translate the map's Latin and who soon becomes her love interest. Radio On the Top Deck Radio 4, 11am Londoners of a certain age blame Red Ken. When he was mayor of the city, Mr Livingstone made bus travel free for under-18s in education. Ever since, according to some, the upper decks of buses have become an anarchic mobile youth club. To assess the situation, travel writer Ian Marchant jumps aboard to meet passengers old and young - and, most importantly, the drivers. At 6.30pm on Radio 4, Will Smith's Midlife Crisis Management reaches a laughable conclusion - and from 11pm to 11.30pm on Radio 4, there are two new 15-minute comedy slots: Nick Mohammed in Quarters , followed by The Correspondent , which centres on mystery in the workplace.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
