Daisy May and Charlie Cooper’s NightWatch

9.30pm, BBC Two

Daisy May Cooper is late meeting her brother Charlie – she’s been busy stocking up in a crystal shop, before they set off on a tour of the UK’s spookiest places. They start with a stay in Gloucester prison, in a room where a long drop gallows saw nine prisoners hang. Luckily, Daisy has a baseball bat to hit a ghoul with. But the real fun is the hilarious pair reminiscing. Hollie Richardson

Guy Martin: The British Train that Changed the World

7.30pm, Channel 4

This one-off sees Martin – he of unwavering enthusiasm and equally unwavering sideburns – help to restore a replica of a pioneering train from 1825. But with technical issues and, at one point, a face full of soot to contend with, will he be doing the locomotion after all? Hannah J Davies

BBC Cardiff Singer of the World: A Celebration Concert

7.30pm, BBC Four

Acclaimed soprano Danielle de Niese and broadcast choirmaster Gareth Malone host a special gala with previous BBC Cardiff Singer of the World winners and finalists. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales will accompany performances including arias by Mozart, Verdi and Puccini. HR

Riot Women

9pm, BBC One

Come for the punk music, stay for Tamsin Greig’s brilliant – if slightly depressing – monologue she delivers as former copper Holly in her old police station. Elsewhere in Sally Wainwright’s riotous drama, the rest of the band are experimenting with lyrics, and Kitty’s huge secret is revealed. HR

Trigger Point

9pm, ITV1

It does get a lot of mileage from scenes where, for a long time, a bomb may or may not go off, but this Vicky McClure vehicle remains a strong crime thriller as season three opens. Explosives whizz Lana (McClure), thrumming with painkillers and PTSD, takes on a booby-trapped vehicle that is a far more fiendish scheme than it seems. Jack Seale

Revival

10pm, Sky Max

This surprisingly grounded horror drama about corpses coming back to life in rural Wisconsin benefits from a plausibly prickly central performance from Melanie Scrofano as a stressed deputy sheriff. This week, Dana’s ongoing murder investigation brings her into the orbit of a local crime family with a quirky sideline in folk art. Graeme Virtue
