There She Goes
10pm, BBC Four
“Dad, Mum wants you – Rosie’s hidden another poo.” David Tennant and Jessica Hynes are the loving if beleaguered parents of a nine-year-old with severe learning disabilities, in this new series. It is drawn from the real-life experiences of its creator Shaun Pye, whose daughter was born in 2006 with a rare, undiagnosed chromosomal disorder. Although this is billed as a comedy-drama, the laughs are, like the aforementioned poo, rather deftly concealed amid the tough, very affecting subject matter and performances. Ali Catterall

New thriller starring Nabhaan Rizwan as Raza Shar, a British-Pakistani man who, after being arrested for drug possession, is encouraged to become an informant by Paddy Considine’s counter-terrorism officer. As an opener, it is hamstrung by the required scene-setting, but does have a convincing feel for the murk of intelligence-gathering. GM

The Guard 1.20am, Channel 4
Gloriously cranky Irish-set comedy-drama from director John Michael McDonagh. Brendan Gleeson is superb as garda sergeant Gerry Boyle, ruling his patch with his gift for wildly bad language. But is he really as dim as the three drug barons, and FBI visitor Don Cheadle, seem to think? Paul Howlett
