Below the Surface
9pm, BBC Four
Thrilling from the off, this Danish crime drama set in Copenhagen opens with the hijacking of a subway train where 15 members of the public are taken hostage by a group of captors (political affiliation unknown) asking for €4m. A counter-terrorism taskforce led by Philip Norgaard (Johannes Lassen), a former hostage plagued by flashbacks of his own ordeal, is brought in to save the day while live footage of the events is broadcast to the captivated capital via an ambitious news reporter.

Hugh’s Wild West
6pm, BBC Two
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s amiable survey of the western wilderness proceeds towards the magnificent desolation of Dartmoor. The series has been a heartening reminder of how much of Britain remains untamed. Among the locations tonight are a hill farm shared by humans, house martins and swallows. Andrew Mueller
Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway
7pm, ITV
The two-headed ratings magnet continues to give value for all the family. James Corden is the guest announcer while this week’s The End of the Show Show is a celebration of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 70th birthday. A cross-generational treat that wipes the floor with its light-ent rivals. Hannah Verdier
Troy: Fall of a City
9pm, BBC One
The imminent demise of Game of Thrones doesn’t mean the end of its proud tradition of nudity and violence in hot weather. But Troy has added “diffused candlelight” to those preoccupations. In tonight’s almost comically unlit episode, Achilles shows that his huge strength isn’t without a dash of mercy. John Robinson
Hitchcock’s Shower Scene: 78/52
9pm, BBC Two
It lasts just 45 seconds, but it changed cinema for ever. Endlessly parodied, the shower scene from Psycho required 78 set-ups and 52 cuts, hence the title of director Alexandre O Philippe’s fascinating doc, featuring contributions from Guillermo del Toro, Jamie Lee Curtis and others. Ali Catterall
Mosaic
10pm, Sky Atlantic
Steven Soderbergh’s drama may have originally come as an app but you are better off watching it the old-fashioned way and revelling in the excellence of the old-fashioned Sharon Stone. Tonight, Joel’s whereabouts come under scrutiny as Frank tells him he’s told Petra and Nate about the false alibi. David Stubbs
Film choice
45 Years, Saturday, 9pm, Channel 4
There is no escaping the past in Andrew Haigh’s riveting domestic drama. Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay are bleakly brilliant as Kate and Geoff Mercer, living in rural Norfolk and planning a big 45th anniversary party. However, a letter from Switzerland summons the ghost of Geoff’s long-lost love in a searchingly intelligent, sad and truthful tale. Paul Howlett
Wonder Woman, 11.45am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
There was much debate about her feminist credentials, but there is something exhilarating about seeing Gal Gadot’s warrior princess knocking the lights out of a battalion of enemy soldiers towards the end of the first world war. Like Chris Pine’s awed pilot-cum-spy, we can only watch in wonder. Paul Howlett
