Nigella: At My Table
8.30pm, BBC2
No one does food porn like Nigella and she’s back at her indulgent best for a new series. The culinary goddess overcomes her “pathological fear” of poaching to make Turkish eggs, and whips up some emergency brownies while dressed in a fancy robe. “I’m locked, I’m loaded and it’s full speed ahead,” she exclaims, as she uses her spiraliser in a non-vegetable capacity. Every moment is so Carry On Nigella, it feels like a spoof, but it’s delicious all the same. Hannah Verdier
Inspector George Gently
8.30pm, BBC1
“My duty is my life,” says George Gently at the Old Bailey as his evidence helps take down a group of corrupt coppers. But, as the procedural reaches its final-ever episode, such old-school nobility looks out of time in a 1970 where the lugubrious inspector finds himself confronting the secret state. Mutton-chop sideburns on sidekick Bacchus offer light relief, but otherwise a downbeat last hurrah for what’s always been a series tinged with melancholy. Jonathan Wright
999: What’s Your Emergency?
9pm, Channel 4
Back for its fifth series, the excellent 999 … returns to the police, paramedics and fire service in Wiltshire, finding its focus with an unpleasantly topical issue. Crime involving women being targeted by predatory males is stubbornly high in the county, with the police force in Wiltshire finding that it receives three times as many reports of voyeurism and men exposing themselves than any other in the UK. Now there’s a grim statistic. Ben Arnold
Coming Home: Bowe Bergdahl vs the United States
9pm, BBC4
Donald Trump probably doesn’t have much sympathy for Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl who, after all, knew what he was signing up for. But, while the facts around Bergdahl’s conduct in Afghanistan remain unclear, what seems certain is that the soldier – who was held captive by the Taliban for five years – is becoming a political football. Sean Langan’s film probes the allegations of desertion and collaboration he faced on his return to the US. Phil Harrison
Heartless
11.05pm, Channel 4
The latest offering from foreign drama strand Walter Presents follows the travails of orphaned Danish siblings Sofie and Sebastian as they battle a vampiric curse. Forced to feed on others to stay alive, the pair attempt to investigate the history behind that bloody bane. Their quest results in enrolment at the ominous Ottman’s boarding school, leading to a flurry of mixed emotions, sexual awakening and – maybe – escape from their affliction. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Ghosted
9.30pm, ITV2
Promising new comedy with Craig Robinson (from Mr Robot) and Adam Scott (Parks and Rec, etc) making for unlikely supernatural bedfellows. Recruited, for their beliefs into the Bureau Underground, Leroy and Max are called upon to investigate a series of unexplained phenomena. The blend of likable Joe Shmo humour and paranormal bunkum proves that there’s life in the Ghostbusters model yet. Adeel Akhtar is his customarily excellent self, too. John Robinson
Vet on the Hill
9pm, More 4
If you’re lucky enough to own a maine coon cat, you’ll know they resemble something from a fantasy novel. Truly, they are the Game of Thrones of cats. So it’s fitting that, when Dr Scott Miller opens up one of these marvels (named Chip) during surgery in the fourth series of the pet-fix show, he makes a rather fantastical discovery. Elsewhere, there’s a celebrity dachshund with a liver disease scare, and a miracle recovery for a car accident patient. Ali Catterall
Film choice
Wild Tales (Damián Szifron, 2014)
2.05am, Channel 4
Szifron’s wildly funny and violent feature is a portmanteau of gory morality tales, set in a modern Argentina that seems to teeter on the brink of furious lunacy. Ricardo Darín leads in a drolly pyrotechnic story that demonstrates the foolishness of enraging a demolition man; other sections point to the dangers of road rage, of upsetting cafe staff; and, above all, of cheating on one’s new bride. A bloody delight.
