The Little Drummer Girl
9pm, BBC One
Last episode of the John le Carré adaptation and, having been sent to meet Khalil, Charlie is deep undercover and in danger. But, as Khalil builds a bomb for Charlie to carry to Professor Minkel, will the actor’s underlying sympathies with radical causes cause her, as her handlers worry, to become a terrorist herself? A slowly unfolding drama when compared to The Night Manager, but just as powerful in its way, notably for its exploration of the ambiguities that come with working in the shadows. Jonathan Wright
Doctor Who
6.30pm, BBC One
After last week’s stressful 17th-century witch hunt, who could blame the Doctor and her gang for going in search of some hygge? But despite clean air and lovely views, ditching the Tardis near a present-day fjord turns out to be far from relaxing, with a girl in peril and a monster in the Norwegian woods. Graeme Virtue
Dynasties
8pm, BBC One
The stunning natural history series looks at the complex social setup of one of Africa’s most threatened predators: the painted wolf.

Gun No 6
9pm, BBC Two
As gun crime escalates in Britain, this cleverly devised documentary tracks the timeline of a 9mm pistol that is “the most active gun being used most frequently in crimes”. The tally so far for this single pistol is 11 shootings, three murders and four injuries, and chillingly it’s still out there somewhere. MB

The Truth About Killer Robots
9pm, Sky Atlantic
When we ponder the effects of automata on human society, we tend to think of rampaging bots along the lines of Arnie’s Terminator. According to Maxim Pozdorovkin’s film, the dangers are potentially much subtler, bound up with human de-skilling and problems posed by the elimination of labour. Phil Harrison
