Autopsy: Kurt Cobain
10.05pm, Channel 5
Nevermind the handwritten suicide note, the persistent mental health problems, the heroin addiction and the apparent certainty of those who knew him best; there are still lingering suggestions put about by paranoiacs and mischief-makers that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was murdered. This documentary sees forensic pathologist Dr Jason Payne-James raking over the coals of the 1994 tragedy yet again. Phil Harrison
The Secret Life of the Holiday Resort
8pm, Channel 4
From scoffing their own body weight in bacon and chips every week, to guzzling oil tankers of beer and weeing in the pool, here’s the not-so skinny on British holidaymaking habits in the Costa del Sol. While dance-mad 12-year-old Danny joins in with the aquafit classes, the Wade family argue about Brexit, and Magali, head of reception at Holiday World, reckons the Brits are friendly because “they call you ‘love’”.

BBC Proms 2017
8pm, BBC4
Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie would both have turned 100 this year. Gillespie, alongside Charlie Parker, pioneered bebop in the face of ridicule by old masters such as Louis Armstrong; Ella Fitzgerald, however, embraced the medium. Yolanda Brown introduces a Proms tribute to the two jazz greats, with singer Dianne Reeves and trumpeter James Morrison showcasing some of the music most closely associated with the duo, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The Last Leg
9pm, Channel 4
Aussie comedian Adam Hills and his cohorts Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker continue to prove that a lasting and satisfying legacy to an Olympic event is indeed possible on occasion, and not just for West Ham United FC. Five years on from 2012, and still delivering a strong late-night comedy chat game, the trio take on both the amusing and sometimes the thorny stories of the week, as well as busting out their taboo-challenging “Is it OK?” section. Ben Arnold
Naked Attraction
10pm, Channel 4
The second run of the controversial dating game comes to a close. It’s actually a gentler affair than its premise – people reduced down to bums, boobs and privates, squished in perspex cases, slowly revealed – might lead you to believe, with fewer voyeurs than you might imagine, too … But it’s still a long way from being must-see TV. Daring to bare – and to stare – tonight are Cathy, who is keen to settle down, and Adam, who is bored of swiping left. Hannah J Davies
Dicte: Crime Reporter
9pm, More4
The intrepid Danish crime reporter begins another two-parter, with Iben Hjejle bringing a certain acerbic cool to the role of Dicte. She has got her work cut out this week, infiltrating the world of football hooliganism. Dicte’s daughter, Rose, is dating a player from a local team, and when a fight breaks out in the stand she realises she could be dealing with a case of match-fixing. As the story unravels, the players come under scrutiny too. Hannah Verdier
Zoo
9pm, Sky1
The third season of James Paterson’s bio-fi drama about a team fighting back against coordinated animal attacks continues. This season has been all about the hybrids – check out that rhino, and those diving birds! – but the human cast strive to balance crisis management with an impressive amount of cuteness and irony. Tonight, Jamie gets Mitch and Logan to help her hunt “shepherds” who want to sterilise humans – while the team find a safe place for “the device”. John Robinson

After the success of The Shawshank Redemption, Darabont went straight back behind bars and to another Stephen King story. It’s set in a Louisiana prison in the mid-1930s, where death-row warden Tom Hanks forms a sentimental relationship with Michael Clarke Duncan’s Coffey, a convict condemned to walk the green mile to “Old Sparky”.
