There She Goes
9.30pm, BBC Two

David Tennant and Jessica Hynes return as parents of Rosie (Miley Locke), who has a learning disability, in this heartwarming family drama. Based on the real-life experiences of writers Shaun Pye and Sarah Crawford, whose daughter was born with an extremely rare chromosomal disorder, the show charts a dual timeline of Rosie’s development at the ages of three and 11 in this second season. In this first episode, Rosie, age 11, speaks her first word, prompting hopes that full communication might be around the corner. Ammar Kalia

The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick
8pm, Channel 4

The affable animal saviour continues catching up with pets he has treated in his clinic. Tonight, we look at Fitzpatrick’s speciality of implants, from a life-changing double prosthetic for 18-month-old cat Peanut to reconstructing retriever puppy Murphy’s jaw. AK

Ambulance
9pm, BBC One

Merseyside Control’s Jenny and Wendy tend to an assaulted French tourist; Eric and Emily deal with an 83-year-old who has been waiting more than two hours for an ambulance, and Chelsey and Paul attend to a road traffic accident – but the injured drink-driver has done a runner. When he returns, he has no shoes … Ali Catterall

Manhunt: The Raoul Moat Story
9pm, ITV

It is 10 years since one of the most peculiar incidents in British criminal history, Raoul Moat’s murderous rampage across the north-east. This Nicky Campbell-fronted, hour-long documentary features interviews with the police officers who led the hunt as well as witnesses and family members. Ellen E Jones

Get Shorty
9pm, Sky Atlantic

There are more shenanigans in store in the third season of this loose adaptation of the 1995 film charting the fortunes of a gangster working in film production. We begin two years on from the season two finale with Chris O’Dowd’s Miles having now served his prison sentence and keen to seek revenge. AK

FBI
9pm, Sky Witness

A second series for Law and Order creator Dick Wolf’s slick, ripped-from-the-headlines procedural about the trials of the US security services. A bomb attack in a Muslim neighbourhood in Queens has a personal resonance for special agent OA – but why was one of the witnesses also an undercover agent? Hannah J Davies

The History Boys (Nicholas Hytner, 2006), 10.40pm, BBC Four
Alan Bennett’s hugely popular play about Sheffield schoolboys aiming for Oxbridge gets the big-screen treatment from Nicholas Hytner, using the original cast and letting the witty words do the work. The lovely Richard Griffiths’ idealistic, repressed gay history teacher is the biggest act among many. Paul Howlett
