Save Me Too

9pm, Sky Atlantic

The makers of Line of Duty return with the second season of their missing-child drama, starring Lennie James as Nelly, a man on the hunt for his abducted and estranged daughter. Having ended the first series by rescuing a trafficked young woman, Grace, the pressure is now on to see whether she holds the clues to locating his daughter or whether there is another, larger ruse at play. James is on searing and superb form throughout, powered on by adrenaline and his trademark yellow jacket in his gruelling hunt. Ammar Kalia

Great British Menu

The culinary contest continues as the nation’s top chefs battle it out to see who gets the chance to cook at a banquet celebrating Britain’s finest children’s literature.

Growing Up Gifted

9pm, BBC Two

It’s time to see how the female students are getting on as year 11 draws to a close.

Which makes their triumphs all the sweeter. Phil Harrison

Feel Good

10pm, Channel 4

Mae Martin’s comedy continues to oscillate skillfully between hilarious and excruciating. As the reluctance of George to come out of the closet – or tonight, the cupboard – starts affecting her and Mae’s sex life, the joke where she’s bad at making up lies on the hoof generates several huge laughs. Jack Seale

Drag Queen Dwarf & Other Little Britons

10pm, Channel 5

The Road, 6.55pm, AMC
In a desolate, post-apocalyptic America, a father and son trudge through a land devoid of colour and hope, evading the cannibalistic gangs searching for victims. John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer-winning novel is relentlessly downbeat but moving. Paul Howlett
