Broadchurch
9pm, ITV
The end of a second series that had no pressing dramatic need to exist and has struggled accordingly, with viewers never likely to invest as heavily after the original whodunnit was solved. But judging this new run by the ratings-smashing standards of the first is perhaps unfair. A good few million people still want to see the verdict in the trial that has destroyed the victim’s parents, and a resolution to the old case that nearly did for David Tennant’s pale sleuth, DI Alec Hardy. Tonight offers some closure. Jack Seale
NHS: £2 Billion a Week & Counting
9pm, Channel 4
Yet another of television’s increasingly regular attempts to engage with the issues facing the NHS. This interactive experiment challenges viewers to face the funding gap, put themselves in the shoes of medical professionals and choose between liver transplants and cosmetic surgery. Expect much agonised hand-wringing to ensue; let’s hope the show remembers to emphasise how remarkably functional most of Bevan’s visionary brainchild remains. Phil Harrison
Asylum
9pm, BBC4
Last in this broad and disappointing series, clearly based on Julian Assange yet yielding a fraction of the comedic potential offered by the man himself. Ben Miller is the self-important document leaker disappointed by the superficial response of the press to his manifesto. He then inadvertently ruins the chances of his El Rican hosts of bidding for the World Cup. His bunkmate, Ludo, whose indeterminate European language sounds mostly Welsh, must use his hacking skills to bail him out. David Stubbs
Catastrophe
10pm, Channel 4
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s series about a one-night stand that turns into a pregnancy and an engagement should finally ensure these two hilarious – but hitherto niche – performers move towards the TV mainstream. Because here they cover truly universal themes: weird male friendships; pregnancy worries; the ghastliness and kindness of other people. Tonight’s finale finds the couple preparing for their wedding, but not before they’ve gone through the traditional humiliations of the stag/hen night. John Robinson

Boring Codswallop? Bring Caffeine? Bad Commissioning? Whatever your thoughts regarding Channel 5’s Mesolithic take on reality television, there’s no stopping it now. The producers of the series aren’t the only ones being accused of laziness, with JP threatening to leave after similar accusations. Of course, setting fire to your bed isn’t the best reaction to such an allegation. With resources low, Paul vows to hunt fresh meat, while Mel insists that foraging for berries is a better option. Viewers may entertain similar thoughts. Mark Jones
Togetherness
10.35pm, Sky Atlantic
The Duplass brothers’ comedy-drama continues to bear witness to the crumbling of Brett and Michelle’s marriage, with the pair seeking solace in new companions. Brett befriends spiritualist hippy Linda, and Michelle grows closer to old friend David, whose charter-school proposal she is helping with. As distant as Brett is and as lonely as Michelle feels, Togetherness never tries to pinpoint the guilty party in the pair’s disintegrating relationship, the only crime here being the inevitable slow fade of love.
