In the face of harassment and the police raid on the Synth settlement, Max has to choose whether to back Agnes or capitulate and risk creating divisions in their community, driving some towards the militants responsible for the bombing. But such concerns are set aside when a distress signal from a group of refugee synthetics arriving on the south coast sends Mia and Niska on a mission of mercy. Meanwhile, Laura finds that, in joining the Dryden Commission, she has to make a few moral concessions herself.

Million Pound Menu
9pm, BBC Two
The Fred Sirieix-fronted foodie Dragons’ Den continues. Tonight, three chaps from Liverpool serving Cuban street dishes and smiley Chelsea, who specialises in vegan junk food. Entertaining, although slo-mo hero footage of financiers walking should henceforth be banned.

“It’s the most amazing discovery in the whole of human history … or the most dangerous.” In the latest episode of the French sci-fi, the crew members continue to speculate about the identity of the spacesuited man they have found on Mars, who supposedly died in 1967. Is he a time traveller? An alien? Ou quoi?

The Horne Section Television Programme
9pm, Dave
Regular guests at the 8-Out-of-10-Cats-Do-Countdown end of the comedy market, the Horne Section specialise in tolerable songs and spoofs. In this one-off they assume the spotlight, with guests including Nadine Coyle. Older relatives might allow themselves the odd small chuckle.

Spring Broke
9pm, PBS America
Beer, bongs and bikinis: spring break is Hollywood’s fave excuse to show hot teens partying in skimpy swimwear. This fun documentary digs a little deeper into the history of the Daytona Beach party scene, from notorious 1950s novel Where the Boys Are to the MTV-assisted boom of the 1990s.

An admirable initiative from Sky Arts, which is devoting a chunk of this evening to short films from first-time directors aged between 18 and 25. We begin with Batty Boy, which explores homophobia on the dancehall scene. Later subjects range from dysfunctional friendships to the internal dynamics of a hair salon.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (11.10pm, AMC)
Director Michel Gondry makes an endlessly inventive sci-fi-ish tragicomedy out of the theme that true love always finds a way. Jim Carrey’s shy Joel and Kate Winslet’s enigmatic Clementine are the couple caught up in a sweet romance, run through a Philip K Dick-like altered-consciousness mill.
