Reggie Yates: Searching for Grenfell’s Lost Lives
9pm, BBC Two

With the hideous black shell of Grenfell Tower still looming nightmarishly over west London, Reggie Yates explores the lives of some of the lost via the testimony of those who remain. It is as heartbreaking as you might expect, particularly the story of Omar, a man from Syria who fled his stricken country only to lose his brother in London. And yet there’s a measure of hopefulness too – it’s clear that the tower housed a strong community that is deeply traumatised but far from broken. Phil Harrison

Hold the Sunset
7.30pm, BBC One

Edith and Phil’s former lovers send departure plans awry. An encounter with Edith’s old boyfriend sets Phil’s tetchiness gland twitching, while an appearance from Phil’s former flame Desiree causes consternation for Edith. The only reconnection likely for manchild Roger is, he hopes, with his missing drone. Mark Gibbings-Jones

The Durrells
8pm, ITV

This rollicking shot of Corfu sunshine continues, with a cast led by Keeley Hawes’s delight of a matriarch Louisa. Lady-charmer Larry has to decide between a romantic future with Daphne or Dionisia, and the family receive some bad news about Aunt Hermione. Gerry, meanwhile, becomes obsessed with a wall covered in insects. Hannah Verdier

Escape to the Chateau
8pm, Channel 4

It is hard to know whether we’re supposed to smile with or at Dick and Angel as they do stuff together at their chateau. This week, Angel, whose fondness for the word “bonkers” is as endearing as her love of saying “amazing”, is building a geodesic dome, while Dick is treating himself to a hot air balloon ride. David Stubbs

RAF at 100 with Ewan and Colin McGregor

8.30pm, BBC One

Ewan McGregor and his ex-RAF pilot brother Colin have a whale of a time in celebrating 100 years of the Royal Air Force. They head for the skies in everything from reproduction biplanes to stomach-churning Tornadoes, charting a rough history of aviation along the way. Ben Arnold

Homeland

9pm, Channel 4

Seeing as we’ve reached series seven of the once all-conquering US thriller, it seems likely that many casual viewers have dropped by the wayside. A shame, perhaps, because its uncertain vibe suits uncertain times. Tonight, Carrie enjoys a victory, Saul phones a friend and Wellington is in trouble. Jonathan Wright

TV film

The Theory of Everything 3.40pm, ITV3

A timely showing for this biopic of Stephen Hawking. Director James Marsh covers both his complex relationship with his wife Jane and the workings of his mighty mind. The result is an uplifting portrait of a man heroically overcoming his extreme physical limitations. Paul Howlett
