Unforgotten
9pm, ITV1
Brooding crime drama starring the brilliant Nicola Walker, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Tom Courtenay, Trevor Eve and Bernard Hill. All the actors, basically. Writer Chris Lang sticks to the cold-case script as our detectives (Walker and Bhaskar) investigate some bones that were buried 40 years before. Who is the dead guy and who made him be dead in the first place? Impossible to guess the killer because everyone in this is so famous and thus ready for their big reveal scene. Julia Raeside
Who Do You Think You Are? 9pm, BBC1
Actor, horror aficionado and ultra-successful Holmes renovator Mark Gatiss turns a magnifying glass on to his family tree, and the game turns out to be afoot in the bleakly beautiful wilds of 17th-century Northern Ireland. It’s the perfect setting for the sort of gothic chiller Gatiss has championed for years, but can he uncover the origin of his distinctive nose? Sherlock fans take note: this episode contains glimpses of Benny C and Marty F in the upcoming Victorian-era special. Graeme Virtue
Hunted
9pm, Channel 4
Episode five of the action reality series and with six of the original fugitives safely captured, eight prospective Richard Kimbles remain off-grid. Remaining absconders include newlyweds Adam and Emma Channell, hoping for a final adventure before starting a family, and Freddie Young, a 21-year-old on the run with his mother-in-law. On the family front, fellow huntee Emily Dredge misses her infant son enough to consider a quick trip home, surely making the hunters’ task easier than taking candy from, well, a baby. Mark Gibbings-Jones
A Very British Romance With Lucy Worsley
9pm, BBC4
Romance, it’s a timeless idea. No it’s not, says Lucy Worsley, who in a new series considers how social, political and cultural factors shape our notions about love and marriage. As does the novel, it seems, considering how much of this first, Georgian-themed doc focuses on the work of Samuel Richardson, Fanny Burney and Jane Austen. Worsley’s point is that romantic fiction, even when served with the biting irony perfected by the peerless “Aunt Jane, spinster”, shows us feelings to which to aspire. Jonathan Wright
Boy Meets Girl
9.30pm, BBC2
The lovable comedy bows out with Judy’s “surprise” 40th birthday party. Leo’s on the lookout for a cheap gift and his mum Pam (Denise Welch) is worried there’ll be food and drinks spilled on her laminate flooring. With the age gap still Pam’s main concern, she’s about to be on the receiving end of a bombshell when Leo lets slip Judy’s secret. As the chargrilled chicken cupcakes come out, the guest of honour is nowhere to be seen. No spoilers, but the ending will definitely have the tears flowing. Hannah Verdier
The Mindy Project
9.30pm, E4
As the sitcom’s third season nears its close, Mindy Kaling’s likable yet broadly by-the-numbers brand of kook lives on. As Mindy’s morning sickness intensifies, Danny suggests that she adopts a healthier diet. However, terrified by the prospect of “white steak” (otherwise known as chicken) and veg, it’s not long before she’s back to her bingeing ways. Meanwhile, boss Jeremy is on the lookout for a replacement for Peter, with Mindy’s old college professor Dr Phillips in the frame. Vanessa Williams guest stars. Hannah J Davies
Truffle Wars
10pm, Discovery
This week on Truffle Wars, Oregon truffle don Justin has snared himself another 90 acres of prime forest to snuffle around in, but his dominance during the drought period is driving smaller operators towards drastic measures. He scopes out a new recruit who could be genuine, but could also be trying to poach prime hunting spots. South of Falls City, Ty and Levi head to the Emerald Forest, a patch that has paid dividends in the past, and lone wolf hunter Richey finds his old ways are pretty hard to beat. Ben Arnold
Film choices
Shane (George Stevens, 1953) 11am, Film4
Alan Ladd is gunfighter Shane, who rides into town to defend homesteaders against a ruthless rancher and his hired gun – grinning Jack Palance. What elevates the film is Shane’s emotional ties with honest-toiler Van Heflin, his wife Jean Arthur, and their boy, Brandon de Wilde. Among the top fistful of westerns, it was remade by Clint Eastwood as Pale Rider. Paul Howlett
The Big Lebowski (Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, 1998) 11.55pm, ITV4
The Coen brothers’ trippy comedy filters a noir plot – complete with kidnap, mistaken identity, greed, sexual attraction, a severed toe – through the weed-suffused consciousness of hippy throwback and 10-pin bowler the Dude, AKA Lebowski (a brilliant Jeff Bridges). Plus there’s a howlingly funny gang of Coen clowns: John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and John Turturro. PH
