Panorama: Climate Change – What Can We Do?
8.30pm, BBC One

Bringing your own travel cup to Costa will not, sadly, save the planet: hitting the vital target of net-zero carbon emissions in the UK by 2050 will require substantial changes in our daily lives. To see how that might look, Justin Rowlatt recruits a Nottingham family to act as his lab rats. Graeme Virtue

Dublin Murders
9pm, BBC One

There are the murky shades of True Detective in this adaptation of Tana French’s revered Dublin Murder Squad novels. This first season takes on the first two books of French’s sextet, each focusing on a detective’s increasingly fraught link to a gruesome crime. We open with the mysterious murder of a young ballerina on an ancient stone altar, and detectives Rob Reilly and Cassie Maddox’s efforts to solve it. A brooding, intense psychological thriller, perfect for the darkening nights. Continues tomorrow. Ammar Kalia

This week’s instalment of the series about UK trade is all about cars, meaning factory visits, Ferraris and talk of the future of manufacturing in the UK. Largely by-the-book stuff, although Ed Balls, Cherry Healey and Ade Adepitan are enthusiastic hosts, balancing facts with current realities. Hannah J Davies

Crime and Punishment
9pm, Channel 4

This week’s episode takes aim at the dangerously underfunded and understaffed National Probation Service, which has undergone massive upheaval in recent years. We look at the Southampton probation office, which is currently managing more than 600 high-risk offenders, leaving staff overwhelmed. AK

Succession
9pm, Sky Atlantic

Security is so tight around this season finale that HBO has not even released a title. This much we do know: a third season is already commissioned, so Waystar Royco will survive congressional scrutiny in some form. As for who will be CEO? Or president of the US? That’s anyone’s guess.

The “mad” is dialled up to 11 in George Miller’s ferocious reboot of his post-apocalyptic epic. Tom Hardy takes over the lone-wolf Mel Gibson role, combining with Charlize Theron’s one-armed gladiator Furiosa to administer explosive justice to sadistic gang chief Immortan Joe and his bestial crew.
