Derry Girls
10pm, Channel 4
It’s the last episode in what has been an excellent series, so much so that it gets away with having a 31-year-old (Nicola Coughlan) playing a 16-year-old (Clare Devlin). Tonight, though, it’s Erin who comes to the fore, desperate for a juicy exclusive for the school magazine. This arrives in the form of a lesbian scandal. Sister Michael, however, played with wonderfully dry cynicism by Siobhan McSweeney, puts the mockers on that. A lovely finale, tinged with a bitter reminder of the Troubles against which it is set.

Trouble at the Zoo
9pm, BBC Two
South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria very nearly lost its licence following the deaths of nearly 500 of its animals in less than four years. The management stood down and the staff assumed control. This film chronicles the results, as the keepers laboured to rescue the attraction from closure.

James Bulger: A Mother’s Story
9pm, ITV
In 1993, toddler James Bulger was abducted and murdered by two 10-year-old boys. Twenty-five years on, many feel justice has never been served. Trevor McDonald visits Liverpool to revisit that fateful day and speaks to James’s mother, Denise Fergus, about coping with such incalculable loss.

Hunted
9pm, Channel 4
The fugitives have been so reckless this time that one wonders if they actually watched previous seasons of the show before agreeing to participate. In tonight’s concluding episode, one musical pair take this brazenness to new heights, by playing a gig and live-streaming it. As usual, Big Brother is closer than they think …

Dale Winton’s Florida Fly Drive
9pm, Channel 5
Dale Winton heads for the Sunshine State – handily, his motto is “you can never be too suntanned” – for this road trip around the panhandle. He has an emotional experience in Cassadaga, the self-proclaimed psychic capital of the world, and visits a Fountain of Youth with some high hopes.

Britannia
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Jez Butterworth’s saga of swords, sandals and psilocybin continues. After realising Kerra (Kelly Reilly) has parleyed with the encroaching Romans, King Pellenor (Ian McDiarmid) clearly doesn’t trust his daughter any more. What succour can the pagan gods offer via desiccated druid Veran?

Lucy (9pm, Film4)
With its trashy concept, hyper-stylised action and vulnerable student-turned-ferocious heroine, this is something like a return to his early Nikita days for Luc Besson. Scarlett Johansson makes the most of her Avengers workouts as Lucy, who after ingesting a new narcotic can suddenly access lethal cerebral powers. Paul Howlett
