Broken
9pm, BBC1
Such is the grimness of the lives explored in Jimmy McGovern’s latest outing, one might wish Theresa May were encouraged to watch it before slashing more benefits. Set in an impoverished northern parish, tonight’s episode may be less overtly dramatic than last week’s opener, but it’s all the more poignant and troubling for it. There’s a moment of hope for Anna Friel’s mum-on-the-edge Christina, but Sean Bean’s exhausted priest Father Michael inches ever closer to despair. Sophie Harris
The British Soap Awards 2017
8pm, ITV
Soaps get more and more histrionic but, oddly, year-in year-out, the British soap awards reliably offer something like believable emotion. Stars from Street, Square and Farm gather together at the Lowry in Salford to celebrate some great performances and also – as the acceptance speeches unfailingly remind us – the teamwork required to deliver all this to our screens week-in week-out. John Robinson
Tried and Tasted: The Ultimate Shopping List
8pm, Channel 4
The average supermarket contains about 30,000 different products; the average shopping list, far fewer. Society needs a way to reliably choose food and booze. Michel Roux Jr invites Britain’s most judicious jaws to compare this cacophony of cuisine, sourced from big brands, own brands and artisan brands. Tonight’s tasters tackle apple pies, whiskies and lamb shanks, ranking each accordingly. Which will win each battle of the brands? Mark Gibbings-Jones
Supershoppers
8.30pm, Channel 4
The consumer show returns with – for those of us who pride ourselves on our money-saving acumen – shock news: the snack aisle in Lidl isn’t as cheap as you might have thought. Elsewhere, Anna Richardson and Andi Osho report on whether Holland & Barrett offers good value, conduct a Sainsbury’s v Amazon delivery test, and see if there’s a discernible difference between pricey Nike and cheap Decathlon running tops. Jonathan Wright
The Chillenden Murders
9pm, BBC2
The second part of this reinvestigation of the murders of Lin Russell and her daughter Megan sees the team examine Michael Stone’s second trial and an alleged confession he made in prison. They then look into the possibility that the crime scene evidence could be forensically re-examined. Finally, acknowledging the element of doubt that has always hung over this case, they reveal another possible suspect for the killings. David Stubbs
First Dates
10pm, Channel 4
Striking the balance between sentimental and awkward, cringe-inducing and life-affirming, First Dates remains one of this decade’s biggest reality TV successes. Its magic hinges on the personalities picked to clash and complement each other, and this week is no different. Singer Precious and amateur magician Earle are paired up, but will the two performers seek to outdo each other? Plus, businessman John and wine merchant Charles look for romance. Hannah J Davies
The Light of Dawn: The Normandy Landings
6pm, Yesterday
Seventy-three years ago today, about 130,000 allied troops stormed ashore on the beaches of Normandy, another 20,000 descending from the skies. This two-part documentary recalls the story of D-day from conception to execution. However familiar the story is – or should be – it has lost none of its power to astonish, or inspire gratitude. It is well told here, illustrated with terrific archive footage. Andrew Mueller
Tate Britain’s Great British Walks
9pm, Sky Arts
The enjoyable series in which available luvvies go on an art-based wander with Gus Casely-Hayford concludes. Tonight it’s Simon Callow: august thesp and a Charles Dickens scholar, too. Under discussion is William Powell Frith’s painting The Derby Day, which, like Dickens’s work, presents a microcosm of Victorian society. The pair disagree fundamentally but amiably about the artist’s merit. Who, though, is hosting here? JR
Film choice
Heli (Amat Escalante, 2013) 1.40am, Film4
There’s an all-too-realistic, documentary style to Escalante’s harrowing drama that makes it even harder to watch. It’s an everyday tale of torture, drugs and death in Mexico, with Armando Espitia as the likable young man scratching a living with his wife, baby, father and sister, when a stash of cocaine dumps them into a terrifyingly violent underworld of gangsters and corrupt cops. Paul Howlett
