Moulin Rouge: Yes We Can-Can!

10pm, BBC Two

Who directs the most famous cabaret club in Paris, home of the can-can? Janet – a bolshy Leeds-born former dancer, who has built a classically trained troupe with fellow Brits from Grimsby to Manchester to Bournemouth. In this eye-popping, six-part, behind-the-scenes series, we follow her heading back to Yorkshire to find new recruits who meet the club’s brutally high standards. Hollie Richardson

Nadiya’s Simple Spices

8pm, BBC Two

Inspired by her mum and nan’s cooking, Nadiya Hussain presents recipes that are “singing and dancing” with spices. She starts with a comforting bowl of bay leaf and turmeric daal with a cumin-infused tarka, then cracks on with a cheese and onion loaf laced with chilli and cumin. HR

They spend five weeks in HMP The Mount to recruit a team. Can a game built on trust and working together help rehabilitate the inmates? Maybe, if they can be convinced to join ... HR

Domina

9pm, Sky Atlantic

The lip-smackingly overripe Roman power-struggle drama continues with Kasia Smutniak’s Livia back in the picture and stronger than ever. As she grows closer to Agrippa, it seems clear that she and Gaius are on a collision course. With Gaius weakened and Domitius and Iullus also plotting around succession, violence seems inevitable.
