The Guest

9pm, BBC One
More jumpy, propulsive fun in the thriller’s penultimate episode. Ria starts to question Fran’s motives as she finds out more about the missing woman Fran hired before her – and facts start falling into place. But she needs to pretend she knows nothing, which gets particularly hard when Fran’s husband returns. Hollie Richardson

Jamie: Eat Yourself Healthy

8pm, Channel 4
Jamie Oliver is at his best when he’s straightforwardly educational – that’s the tone here as he demonstrates more meals with health benefits. Helping the masses to eat more white fish and tofu is on the menu this week, via filo pastry parcels and a calcium-rich stew. Want more protein? Chickpea curry and yoghurt pancakes deliver it. Jack Seale

Task

9pm, Sky Atlantic

The bleak but sure-footed crime drama from the creator of Mare of Easttown continues. After last week’s stressful opener, all eyes are on vexed FBI agent Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo) as he tries to identify rogue binman Robbie (Tom Pelphrey), whose habit of knocking off Philly drug houses has left him with a huge problem. Graeme Virtue

Kevin Costner’s The West

9pm, Sky History
The Hollywood star co-executive produces and narrates this history lesson offering a fresh take on the origin story of the US, along with input from experts. He starts in the 18th century with Chief Little Turtle leading the resistance against American expansion, and the arrival of General “Mad” Anthony Wayne. HR

Elsbeth

9pm, Sky Witness
Sludge-brown really isn’t Elsbeth’s colour, so it’s good news whenever she gets out of the NYC jailhouse uniform and back into an investigation. But even her eccentric fashion sense can’t shield her from the irritations of an interfering Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and the rich-kid heir to a gun-manufacturing fortune (a superbly diabolical Billy Magnussen). Ellen E Jones

Trying

10.40pm, BBC One
Apple TV+’s sleeper-hit comedy series about a husband and wife trying to have a baby comes to the BBC. Esther Smith and Rafe Spall play Nikki and Jason, a thirtysomething couple so exhausted by multiple failed IVF cycles that they start to consider adoption. HR
