The Baby Has Landed
9pm, BBC Two
The BBC puts its own spin on One Born Every Minute in this saccharine-sweet documentary series following six families set to give birth. There is hairdresser Syler Nicholson-Bayoumi who is due to have her first baby in a day’s time and is struggling to keep her mother and her partner, Mo, onside. Helen Pierce is on her fifth child and doing the crossword during labour. Weepy and well-paced, it’s an emotional rollercoaster that will soften even the hardest of viewers. Ammar Kalia
My Grandparents’ War
9pm, Channel 4
New series in which four celebrities explore their grandparents’ second world war stories. This week, Helena Bonham Carter discovers how her maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother helped Jewish people escape the Holocaust and volunteered as an air raid warden, respectively. Ali Catterall
Vic & Bob’s Big Night Out
10pm, BBC Four
Reeves and Mortimer return, pleasingly giggly and ramshackle in their late-middle age. Deciding whether the dad jokes, the adverts for celebrity albums (eg Steven Avery plays panpipes) or a majestically sweary and chaotic Most Haunted spoof is the funniest is scientifically challenging. Jack Seale
Danny’s House
10pm, Vice
Which part of your body would you like to be robotic? Would you ever masturbate using virtual reality? These are just some of the questions posed by Detroit rapper Danny Brown to his guests, comedian Ilana Glazer and NBA champion John Salley, in this wonderfully weird chatshow-cum-sketch series. AK

10.45pm, BBC One

Fear the Walking Dead
2am, E4
As season two of the undead offshoot starts, the bombs are raining down in Los Angeles, so the disparate group of survivors make their escape to the Abigail, a large yacht moored offshore. Strand’s rules are causing tension, but at least here they are safe from the outbreak. Oh wait … can zombies swim? Ellen E Jones
Film choice
Julie & Julia 4.45pm, Sony Movies
Nora Ephron’s elegantly satisfying real-life cookery drama stars Meryl Streep as Julia Child, who brought French cuisine to the US in the 1950s and 60s. Amy Adams is Julie Powell who, 40 years later, kept a daily blog of her project to cook all 524 recipes in Child’s classic work. It’s cordon bleu entertainment. Paul Howlett
