Born to Kill
9pm, Channel 4
Episode two of the taut, menacing four-parter (from the production company behind Line of Duty) about a teenage boy with a psychopathic side. Sam’s friendship with Oscar turns ugly, compounding Jenny’s fears that something about her son’s behaviour isn’t quite right. Meanwhile, fellow nurse Cathy is questioned by police following Mr Williams’s death at the hospital (orchestrated, of course, by Sam), and Jenny visits the prison for the parole hearing. Hannah J Davies
Mind Over Marathon
9pm, BBC1
Conclusion of Nick Knowles’s two-parter following the progress of a group of runners whose preparations for the London Marathon are rendered still more daunting by their mental health issues. The group have been assembled by Heads Together, a mental health charity led by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, all of whom turn up at a final training session, as the hopefuls acclimatise themselves to longer and longer distances. Andrew Mueller
The Last Kingdom
9pm, BBC2
The axe-swinging Saxon saga continues. After a recent Viking infestation, London (or “Loon-doon” as everyone calls it) is now a ghost town. From his faraway throne in Wessex, King Alfred ponders how best to recover a valuable possession from two hard-to-locate, obstinate Norsemen. As ever, it’s up to his faithful ealdorman Uhtred – skilled swordsman, wily tactician and eyeliner wizard – to sort things out ahead of the looming season-two finale. Graeme Virtue
Locked Up
10pm, Channel 4
Television has a fascination with women’s prisons that stretches back to Within These Walls in the 1970s and, more recently, Orange Is the New Black, to which this Spanish drama has been compared. Tonight, Maggie Civantos’s Macarena comes to rue her friendship with the dangerous Zulema; she is now a fugitive, more trapped than ever. Meanwhile, the authorities show their dissatisfaction with Miranda by appointing a new chief of security. David Stubbs
Bucket
10pm, BBC4
Part three of the comedy about an incorrigible septuagenarian (Miriam Margolyes) whose cautious adult daughter (writer Frog Stone) feels obliged to help with a wacky list of dying wishes. It’s time for second cousin Gemma’s wedding, which means much more of Stephanie Beacham as the hellishly snobby and controlling mother of the bride – another archetype too simply drawn for the moments of pathos to take hold. Making a wedding episode feel fresh is a big ask. Jack Seale
The Trip to Spain
10.05pm, Sky Atlantic
There’s a melancholy tint to this series; a sense of time running out for the characters and format. A certain testiness has seeped into the Brydon-Coogan relationship, a sense that however much they resist, they’re trapped in their roles. It’s still redeemingly funny, though. Tonight, Coogan risks a Jimmy Savile impression and Brydon muses on Eddie Redmayne (“The kind of name an upper-middle-class girl would give her pony”). Phil Harrison
Kevin Can Wait
8.30pm, E4
King of Queens star Kevin James is at the centre of many a lukewarm comedy scene as his plans to laze around in retirement are once again scuppered. His wife, Donna, has given the house a makeover, but Kevin is hell-bent on putting things back where they were. Even burning a meatloaf-scented candle can’t help the ex-cop relax. Meanwhile, his daughter Kendra decides to toughen up her geeky British boyfriend Chale with moderately funny, rather than hilarious, results. Hannah Verdier

Le Quattro Volte (Michelangelo Frammartino, 2010) 1.50am, Film4
Frammartino’s simple yet profound drama apparently relates to the life-force theory of Pythagoras, detailing the four seasons via an ailing old goatherd, a kid goat, a great fir tree and a charcoal kiln. Set in Calabria in southern Italy, it moves sedately through an enigmatic narrative. Very few words are spoken and the action, such as it is, is filmed at a semi-distant remove. Yet it is deeply involving, compassionate and at times very funny; the sequence involving a dog, a van and a suddenly freed herd of goats is a small comic masterpiece. Paul Howlett
Moneyball (Bennett Miller, 2011) 9pm, Sony Movie Channel
A baseball film with very little baseball action: this is the real-life story of Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), coach of the lowly Oakland As. Fed up with losing his young stars to bigger clubs, Beane and Yale economics graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) build a team based purely on statistical analysis – and it works. A fascinating insight into the business and psychology of sport. PH
