TV tonight: Channel 4 stages the world’s biggest motorway pile up

Multiple hypothetical injuries as four drivers get a wake-up call in Pile Up: World’s Biggest Crash Test. Plus, a fun charity football match and more villainy in The Gold. Here’s what to watch tonight

Every day, thousands of people get into their cars with minimal understanding of the risks they’re taking. This documentary is a spectacular corrective to that, staging a multi-car pile-up and enlisting four drivers to remotely control real cars. The results are striking and the aftermath is fascinating as the crash scene is pored over and the extent of the (thankfully hypothetical) injuries is assessed.
