Billy Monger: The Race Is on for Comic Relief

9pm, BBC One
“This is the year that took me to the edge.” A big statement coming from racing driver Billy Monger, who lost both his legs in a racing accident when he was just 17 years old. Here he is today, taking on one of the most extreme endurance challenges on the planet – an Ironman in Kona, Hawaii, where he’ll need to swim 2.4 miles in the ocean, cycle 112 miles and run 26.2 miles. It’s all for charity, so prepare for an emotional journey. Hollie Richardson
