Innocent
9pm, ITV
From Chris Lang, creator of ITV’s delayed-justice hit, Unforgotten, comes another drama about a cold case becoming abruptly hot. Bad dad David Collins (Lee Ingleby, with a suitably sketchy goatee) is released on a technicality after serving seven years for murdering his wife. What will that mean for his now-teenage kids, raised by righteous auntie Alice (Hermione Norris)? Submerged secrets, meltdown-level performances and a propulsive pace – with all four episodes stripped across the week – help paper over any plot holes. Graeme Virtue
Heart Transplant: A Chance to Live
9pm, BBC Two
Fifty years after the first heart transplant in the UK, the Freeman hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne has allowed unprecedented access to document the pioneering work it is doing to transform lives. There will be few more moving and astonishing programmes on TV this year. Ben Arnold
Catching a Killer
9pm, Channel 4
Latest in the inevitably gripping series of real-life homicide investigations filmed in real time. This one follows Thames Valley police as they hunt the killers of Hang Yin Leung, a retired Hong Kong police officer who died from injuries sustained when six men ransacked her home in Milton Keynes in 2017. Andrew Mueller
Lucifer
9pm, Fox
It’s a shame that Lucifer doesn’t play it solely for comedy a la The Good Place, with the son of Satan depicted as an urbane crime consultant. Instead, it goes the predictable police procedural way. In this opening episode of series two, Lucifer must track down his missing mother and look into the murder of an actor. David Stubbs
Myanmar’s Killing Fields
10.20pm, Channel 4
A startling, brutal documentary, as hard to watch as it is important. Via witness testimony and clandestine phone footage obtained at great personal risk, it itemises what appears to be a genocide, perpetrated by the Myanmar authorities against the Muslim Rohingya people. Phil Harrison
On Assignment
10.45pm, ITV
Rageh Omaar returns with a new series of this current affairs programme. John Ray meets white farmers in South Africa learning armed self-defence to protect themselves against land invasions and visits a new generation of black farmers trying to overcome issues of inadequate finance and expertise. Candice Carty-Williams
Film choice
The Sessions 1.30am, Film4
Here’s an awkward subject handled well. It’s based on the true story of Mark O’Brien (John Hawkes), a California poet mostly confined, by childhood polio, to an iron lung. Nearing 40, he decides it’s time to lose his virginity, which leads him to sex therapist Cheryl (Helen Hunt). Well-acted, funny and sweetly moving. Paul Howlett
