The Met: Policing London
9pm, BBC1
A series that has sometimes felt like an advert for the Metropolitan Police ends by looking at the circle of working life: while one nervous new recruit goes through his passing-out parade at training college and lightly walks the beat for the first time, a retiring detective says he’s glad to pass the stress and distress on to someone else. His final investigation, of a four-month-old allowed to starve to death by her mother, ends up as an unimpeachable picture of a hard and sickeningly sad task. Jack Seale
Vicious
9pm, ITV
The last in the series, and it’s the big day for Freddie and Stuart as they prepare for their wedding – but of course things couldn’t possibly go to plan. Violet’s errant husband Jasper is in town but makes for a unpleasant wedding guest, while Penelope and Freddie’s brother Mason are sent out to fetch an ostentatious wedding cake. It ends in disaster. Several times. It’s lazy, mirthless stuff, but seems to feature the kindest studio audience known to man. They even find something to applaud on occasion. Bless them. Ben Arnold
How To Get A Council House
9pm, Channel 4
Portsmouth, Britain’s most densely populated city, has half as many council homes available as it did three decades ago. Tensions within the social housing system are inevitable, and they’re fully exposed in the fly-on-the-wall series following the work of housing officers. There are happier moments, too, as when “bearded angel” Billy successfully mediates between a couple threatened with eviction and their landlord. Meantime, the sad case of Romanian Vasile exposes the myth about immigrants receiving preferential treatment. Jonathan Wright
Bad Boy Boxer: The Last Chance
9pm, BBC3
Lee Selby’s story would read like a synopsis of the corniest underdog-against-the-odds matinee movie were it not for the fact that, as this documentary demonstrates, it’s all true. The Welsh boxer has been ruggedly tested outside the ring as well as inside it, suffering more than his fair measure of personal grief, and a consequent drift into drink and drugs. The film follows Selby as he prepares for his shot at the world featherweight championship title. Gripping, even if you know how it will turn out. Andrew Mueller
True Detective
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Series two of Nic Pizzolatto’s crime anthology trundles on, still failing to capture the bottled lightning of the show’s first run, but slowly showing signs of its own personality. To that end, this week we begin with a vaguely Lynchian motif, while the cliffhanger from last week’s episode – did Ray survive the shotgun attack in Casper’s house? – remains tantalisingly unresolved. Meanwhile, the hefty repercussions of Casper’s grisly demise begin to hit home in the Vinci mayor’s office. Gwilym Mumford
Man Down
10pm, Channel 4
Jo’s marrying a lad from the Heath – “a digger-driver, but it’s only temporary until his rap career takes off” – in the sweetly melancholy series closer. “You’ve lost your mind,” says Brian. Well, possibly: there’s a law among Heath-dwellers, that if the bride is three hours late to her wedding, the groom is allowed to marry someone else. Can Dan get her to the barn on time, notwithstanding an owl attack and a “hot jam” incident? All this, plus a cameo appearance from the Wonder Stuff as local band 8 Sausage Sunday. Ali Catterall
A Deadly Warning: Srebrenica Revisited
10.35pm, BBC1
Twenty years ago this month, more than 8,000 men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb militia in and around Srebrenica. It was a grotesque crime and should be remembered. This film has noble intentions in that direction – Myriam Francois-Cerrah visits Bosnia with a group of young Britons born at roughly the time the massacre occurred. As is too often the case, however, a potentially interesting documentary is told as a treacly, uplifting “journey”, more about the visitors than their destination. AM
