World War One Remembered: The Cenotaph
10am, BBC One
David Dimbleby introduces coverage of the remembrance ceremonies at the Cenotaph, which will include a procession involving 10,000 members of the public. At 9.30pm on BBC Two, there’s a premiere of Peter Jackson’s startling documentary They Shall Not Grow Old which, via colourised footage from the western front and lip-readings of the soldiers, adds a harrowingly personal dimension to the war’s barely believable levels of carnage.

Doctor Who

After the well-received Rosa Parks episode, Who dips again into 20th-century history with an instalment set in partition-era India, penned by Murdered By My Father writer Vinay Patel. There are demons running amok in the Punjab, which offers Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord the chance to introduce Yaz to her grandmother. Gwilym Mumford
Mars
8pm, National Geographic
This lavish but soapy docudrama from producer Ron Howard contrasts the future of Mars colonisation with present-day talking heads. Season two kicks off in 2042 with a long-settled science outpost gatecrashed by a mercantile mining corp. Meanwhile, in 2018, we see the toll of working on a far-flung oil platform. Graeme Virtue

The Little Drummer Girl
9.30pm, BBC One
This fine adaptation of the Le Carré novel appeals in part for its retro-fetishisation of 70s Europe: the cars, the decor, the smoking, as well as its deepening intrigue. This week, Charlie goes on a mission to Austria and, as Michel undergoes interrogation, the line between role playing and true feelings grows more blurred. David Stubbs

End of Watch, 1.30am, Film4
This high-powered drama is out on patrol with a pair of cops in south-central LA, Jokester Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and feisty Zavala (Michael Peña). They are a convincing pair, taking on everything from domestics to an influx of gangsters, with much of the frenetic action shot through Taylor’s camcorder. Paul Howlett
