Work in Progress
9.40pm, Sky Comedy
Chicago comic Abby McEnany is going through an existential crisis. And, for good measure, a midlife one, too. Her therapist has checked out in more than one sense and a first date descends into chaos when McEnany encounters her sometime doppelganger, Saturday Night Live’s Julia Sweeney, leaving Abby to give herself the ultimatum to find happiness in 180 days or kill herself. It’s a radical, queer reimagining of the semi-confessional shows created by the likes of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David. Ammar Kalia
White House Farm
9pm, ITV
You already know how this one ends – either you read newspapers in the 1980s or you’ve given in to the urge to Google. It’s still worth seeing this series through, if only for a chilling mask-drop moment in court and Alexa Davies’s layered portrayal of Jeremy Bamber’s morally ambiguous girlfriend, Julie Mugford. Ellen E Jones

Gaspar Noé on Love

Film choice
Mistress America 1am, Film4
Noah Baumbach’s hyperactive comedy lets a brilliantly odd couple loose in New York: Lola Kirke is lonely aspiring writer and first-year college student Tracy; Greta Gerwig (who co-wrote) is Brooke, her stepsister-to-be, more mature and surfing a hip city on a wave of limited creativity and huge self-belief. Paul Howlett
