Vienna Blood
9pm, BBC Two
Cafes, opera and philosophy: it’s Vienna at the in turn-of-the-20th-century and young British doctor Max Liebermann (Matthew Beard) is studying under Sigmund Freud when he is enlisted by detective Oskar Rheinhardt (a gruff Jürgen Maurer) to help solve murder cases in the city. Based on Frank Tallis’s Liebermann novels, this adaptation runs at an overstuffed 90 minutes for this first part, but it’s a bearable watch if you can keep up with the story’s wordy theorising and seance-themed turn of events.

Dispatches: Born Homeless
8pm, Channel 4
As homelessness rises sharply across the UK, Dispatches examines the tough choices facing pregnant women in precarious living situations. Cameras follow soon-to-be mums as they try to cope with overcrowded temporary housing or face the looming threat of eviction. Graeme Virtue
24 Hours in A&E
9pm, Channel 4
The return of the stupendous NHS fly-on-the-wall series that shows us exactly what we’ll miss if this great social project is ever dismembered by our government. Eduard, 14, is rushed to St George’s in south-west London after falling off a swing, while in resus, Paula’s health, and that of her unborn baby, are in danger. Ali Catterall
Cold Call
9pm, Channel 5
It’s that rarest of things: a Channel 5 original drama. Spread across the week, Cold Call taps into a modern fear, the threat of bank fraud. Sally Lindsay is June, a harassed single mother who goes on the counter attack against scammers who have relieved her of the receipts of a house sale. A topical drama worth sticking with. Phil Harrison
Storyville: One Child Nation
9pm, BBC Four
Forty years on from China’s brutal implementation of the one-child policy, film-makers Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang document its effect on the nation’s women and its communities, told through the prism of Wang’s own recent motherhood. A sensitive portrait of parenthood and politics. AK
Home Free
10pm, Channel 4
An uplifting two-parter following a group of young people with learning disabilities who are moving out of home for the first time. The show steers clear of illustrating the harsh consequences of austerity on disability benefits, focusing instead on the universal day-to-day stresses and realities of living alone. AK
Film choice
The Dark Knight Rises, 9pm, Sky One
Director Christopher Nolan’s Batman films embraced the dark side but this conclusion to his trilogy is positively stygian. Christian Bale’s superhero has to save Gotham from the monstrous, nihilistic Bane (Tom Hardy); thankfully, Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman provides some much-needed light touches. Paul Howlett
