Love, Lies & Records
9pm, BBC One
Births, deaths and soggy confetti-strewn steps: Kay Mellor’s breezy new six-part drama is set in a Leeds register office but wisely avoids bureaucratic quicksand in favour of interpersonal intrigue, amateur sleuthing and some big emotional swings. Ashley Jensen stars as unfailingly compassionate registrar Kate, attempting to achieve some semblance of a work-life balance while dealing with the everyday chaos of raising teenagers. Graeme Virtue
Exodus: Our Journey Continues
9pm, BBC Two
Concluding the immersive series about immigration. Tonight, we observe more migrant journeys – elegantly rendered in graphic form, not quite so elegant in life. Lateef and Nazifa were heading for Germany from Afghanistan, but got stuck in Greece. Sadiq, targeted by the Taliban, now hopes for asylum in Helsinki. It does a good job of juxtaposing those facing real threats with the lack of empathy shown by European anti-immigrationists. John Robinson
The King’s Cross Fire: 6 Hours That Shocked Britain
9pm, Channel 5
To mark 30 years since the King’s Cross fire, survivors, families of the victims and members of the emergency services speak about 18 November 1987, some for the first time in public. Thirty-one people died and more than 60 were injured when a fire – caused by a dropped match on a wooden Piccadilly line escalator – ripped through the tube station. Candid testimony is accompanied by previously unseen archive footage. Ben Arnold
British Workers Wanted
10pm, Channel 4
Bracing slice of life at Opus Loco, a Bognor Regis recruitment agency specialising in temporary work placements. Fully 98% of its labour pool are eastern Europeans – despite which, the British proprietors voted Leave. Many of the eastern Europeans are planning to head home now, so Opus Loco needs locals to take their places. Spoiler alert: they won’t. An early glimpse of the sunlit uplands to which Brexit will deliver us. Andrew Mueller
Handmade in Hull
11pm, BBC Four
“It’s a flowerpot at the end of the day,” says Gabriel Nichols, a man who, for all his expertise at throwing plant receptacles, describes himself as “an artisan”. It is a no-nonsense attitude that runs through this satisfying doc, which also features, among other Hull artisans, a heraldic artist, a compass-maker and a wood-carver. Linking their stories is Linda Brothwell, an artist whose Tool Appreciation Society touring exhibition was inspired by the work of craftspeople. Jonathan Wright
Red Dwarf XII
9pm, Dave
Last in the series of the revived sitcom. Although it’s filmed before what sounds like the most easily amused audience ever assembled for a TV programme, there’s some clever business tonight enabling us to see one or two old faces. There are shades of Bedazzled as Rimmer has managed to acquire a machine enabling him to make quantum leaps into alternative universes and alternative lives he could have lived. However, there are snags … David Stubbs
Swipe Right For Murder
10pm, Really
Internet dating is a playground for sexual predators, this true-crime series suggests. The first episode certainly proves that point, with the chilling case of Nadine Aburas from Cardiff, strangled by New Yorker Sammy Almahri whom she met on a dating site. As he went on the run, police launched a manhunt that went global. What stands out here is the way her family and friends help tell the story with great bravery and dignity. Hannah Verdier
Film choice
Indiscreet (Stanley Donen, 1958) 11am, Film4
Stanley Donen turned Norman Krasna’s Broadway flop into a delightful screen comedy, reuniting Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Grant, a Paris-based Nato official and confirmed bachelor, tells Bergman’s actor at the outset of their affair that he’s married. But when romance develops she discovers the truth and it looks as if their fine romance is over. As if. Paul Howlett
