Inside No 9
10pm, BBC Two
Irony defines Adrian’s life. As a wedding photographer, he provides undying records of newlyweds’ blossoming bliss – a high-contrast counterpoint to the lack of love left in his own marriage to Harriet. She struggles to reignite an emotional flame long extinguished, but Adrian is reluctant to leave his basement darkroom. The spleen-squeezing unease in this latest episode of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s anthology leaves little room for laughter, but is as essential a visit to No 9 as ever.

House of Saud: A Family at War
9pm, BBC Two
The final instalment of this three-parter contemplating Saudi Arabia. While Saudi remains more isolated and internally straitened than most countries, its ossified structures are nevertheless vulnerable to social media. Reclusive opulence is no longer an option. Andrew Mueller
Art, Passion & Power: The Story of the Royal Collection
9pm, BBC Four
“Papa’s got a brand new throne,” quips Andrew Graham-Dixon with evident relish, presenting a blinging painting of Charles II in full pomp. The second episode of his guided tour takes us from Charles’s so-called “swinging 60s” (the 1660s, that is) up to the reign of George III 100 years later. Sophie Harris
Frankie Drake Mysteries
9pm, Alibi
Meet Frankie Drake (Lauren Lee Smith), a thoroughly modern mystery-solving miss working in 1920s Toronto. In this series opener, she foils an airshow kidnapping – and this is only the beginning of her involvement with the mysterious and handsome aviator Phillip Anderson. What larks! Ellen E Jones
Before We Die
11pm, Channel 4
Set against a backdrop of feuding motorcycle gangs in Stockholm, this Swedish drama is more high-octane than your standard Scandi noir. Despite writing off a Volvo during a chase in last week’s opener, veteran cop Hanna (Marie Richardson) is still determined to track down her kidnapped colleague Sven. Graeme Virtue

Let Me Go (10.50am, 4.25pm, Sky Cinema Premiere)
The sins of the parent echo through the generations in Polly Steele’s flawed, bitter drama. It is based on the story of Helga Schneider, whose mother, Traudi, abandoned her to become an SS guard at Auschwitz. Juliet Stevenson is anguished and excellent as the 62-year-old Helga. Paul Howlett
