Performance Live: I Told My Mum I Was Going on an RE Trip
11.15pm, BBC Two
One in three women has an abortion in their lifetimes. This is the instigating fact behind Julia Samuels’s warm yet confronting stage play, now deservedly brought to a wider audience by the BBC’s Performance Live strand. Four young female performers (including Derry Girls’ Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) use verbatim interviews and song to incorporate the real stories of more than 50 participants. Boyfriends, parents, doctors and the women themselves all get their say. Ellen E Jones
Hugh’s Wild West
6pm, BBC Two
The feathered visitors to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s garden get their breakfast before he has his morning cuppa. And a newcomer has particularly enchanted him. In this latest outing in the West Country, he finds out more about the sociable long-tailed tit, while tracking a hibernating dormouse. Ali Catterall
The Voice UK
8pm, ITV
Emma Willis presents the third round of blind auditions, and with it comes a fresh faction of hopefuls determined to get those chairs a-spinning. If the competitors can maintain composure more effectively than Olly Murs after the performance by burlesque singer Ivy Paige last week, they may well stand at least some chance. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Spiral
9pm, BBC Four
Juxtaposing an extreme act of vengeance with scenes of Laure bonding with her baby and a surveillance operation, Spiral throws out more plotlines in an episode than most police procedurals manage in a series. That it does this while making you care about flawed, difficult characters is wholly to its credit. Excellent, again. Jonathan Wright
Obama: The President Who Inspired the World
9pm, More4
As the title suggests, this may not be the most forensic inquiry ever undertaken into the record of the 44th president – but, given the circus that has followed him, a measure of wistful nostalgia for the Obama era is forgivable. Matt Frei recalls Obama’s career and ponders his legacy. Andrew Mueller
Hard Sun
9.30pm, BBC One
“There’ll be more like this once the news gets out,” says Agyness Deyn’s Renko, referring to homicidal maniacs with a doomsday fixation. She wasn’t joking, as another gruesome theme-crime is ushered in while the promised apocalypse plot is hobbled. And the charmless misery continues. Ben Arnold
Film choice
Sicario, 9pm, Channel 4
A gruesome opening, in which the FBI uncovers a literal house of the dead, points up the brutal nature of this ferocious thriller about the US war on drugs. One of the FBI team, Emma Blunt’s tenacious Kate, is drafted into an increasingly murky covert op in Mexico, led by the brash James Brolin and haunted Benicio Del Toro. Paul Howlett
