The Sinner
9.10pm, BBC Four
After a first season that starred Jessica Biel as a wife and mother who suddenly stabbed a man to death for reasons that were slowly and horrifyingly exposed, the second outing of this US-based psychodrama proves equally disturbing. Opening with the mysterious deaths of two members of a family during an outing to Niagara Falls, it follows grizzled detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) as he tries to get to the bottom of the case. The twists in this opening double bill are understated and the viewing is tense and compelling. Ammar Kalia
Michael McIntyre’s Big Show
8.10pm, BBC One
It’s the return of family favourite McIntyre and his Big Show. Tonight’s opener sees the observational comic put Bear Grylls (and his phone) in the hot seat, while music comes from former One Direction member Liam Payne – and one unsuspecting attendee will be made to perform live. AK
ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band from Texas
9pm, Sky Arts
Long-bearded bluesmen Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, and the beardless Frank Beard, are the focus of this film, which looks at their rise from high-school friends to cult rockers. Stacks of archive chart the group’s close and enduring 50-year bond, as well as their offstage antics. AK
Novels That Shaped Our World
9.55pm, BBC Two
Last in this insightful and well-researched series on the history of the English-language novel. Readers Russell Tovey and Darren Boyd explore the role of class struggle in the novel, from Dickens to Hardy, and the modernist generation of post-second world war working-class writers. Maeve Allen
Pose
10.55pm, BBC Two
It’s the final double bill of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck’s bombastic tale of New York’s voguing scene. In the opener, tragedy is in store for Blanca, while a luxurious trip to Long Island is planned by Elektra for the girls. The season closer takes an emotional jump forward to test the group’s bond.

Captain Marvel 11.10am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
It may not be as zingy as that other recent Marvel newcomer Black Panther, but this origin tale of space fighter Vers, at war with the Green Goblin-like Skrulls but ditched on Earth to uncover her terrestrial roots, is done with wit and verve. Brie Larson’s Carole Danvers packs in oodles of fun. Paul Howlett
