Poldark
9pm, BBC One
As the new series of Poldark opens, a moist Aidan Turner emerges from the sea. He is shirtless, panting and seemingly oblivious to the new ruling that it’s not acceptable for women to ogle him. Chest aside, there are dramatic goings-on as Demelza takes time out from cheating on Ross with Hugh to welcome Sir Francis Basset for tea and try to reconcile him and Falmouth. Osborne is keen to resume rumpy-pumpy with a reluctant Morwenna, and the “vulgars” are rioting over corn. Hannah Verdier
Journey in the Danger Zone
8pm, BBC Two
Adnan Sarwar begins the second part of his Iraq journey unbothered up a terrifyingly high minaret. Having seen some action, he’s got a solid take on what’s worth being alarmed by in this country. From Baghdad, he takes a pilgrimage bus to Kerbala – attempting to explain Sunni-Shia relations as he goes. John Robinson
Frankie Goes to Russia

With the World Cup looming, Frankie Boyle completes his travelogue.

Andrew Mueller

What’s in a name? It is almost all June has but, back in the clutches of the Waterfords, “June” is set to disappear. Offred might yet survive, albeit in meek servitude.

Patrick Melrose
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The last in this excellent series, which after its heady beginning has developed into a harrowing study of the misery man hands on to man. Tonight’s episode revolves around the death of Patrick’s mother, with frequent flashbacks and as satisfying a conclusion as could be expected. David Stubbs
Atlanta
10pm, BBC Two
Show creator Donald Glover draws on his sketch comedy background in Atlanta’s oddest episode yet.
