Our Guy in Vietnam
9pm, Channel 4
“Xin chào! How we getting on boys? You all right?” Guy Martin has a great time bobbing around Hanoi – the starting point for his two-parter in Vietnam, to mark 50 years since the end of the war. He explores plenty of its communist history and explodes two leftover bombs, but there are also lighter times to be had at a pre-dawn public workout session for retirees and at a “train street” where cafe-goers can touch a train passing through on the narrow track. Hollie Richardson
Walking With Dinosaurs
6.25pm, BBC One
A stressed new father wants to take his kids out for a meal. But this is Morocco 100m years ago so drive-through is not an option. As this slick reboot of the immersive prehistoric series continues, Sobok the spinosaurus – a crocodile-snouted, sail-backed predator bigger than a T rex – strives to keep his hungry young family safe. Graeme Virtue
Death Valley
8.15pm, BBC One
A new murder case in the upbeat comedy drama, and Timothy Spall is still having a ball as retired TV star John Chapel who teams up with super fan/detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth). A woman dies on a hike in Wales, and the only thing anyone knows about her is that she was “new to the walking group, too thin by half and had stubborn eyes”. HR
Code of Silence
9pm, ITV1
A conflicted Alison (Rose Ayling-Ellis) uncovers Liam’s particularly personal betrayal (surely, he’s off the Christmas card list now?), forcing her into a high-stakes race against time to stop the gang’s jewellery heist. Meanwhile, Braden’s ruthlessness knows no bounds, leaving Alison to face the devastating consequences. The Pink Panther it ain’t. Ali Catterall
The Handmaid’s Tale
10pm, Channel 4
“Your friends, your trauma – you, you, you!” As the TV bleakfest nears its final episode, June (Elisabeth Moss) and Moira (Samira Wiley) embark on an audacious undercover mission ahead of the planned Mayday attack. But tensions erupt as they clash over who has had it worse in tyrannical Gilead. Hannah J Davies
Later … With Jools Holland
10pm, BBC Two

Mountainhead, 9pm, Sky Atlantic
In Jesse Armstrong’s squirmingly funny satire, four tech moguls gather at a retreat called Mountainhead (a wry nod to Ayn Rand’s paean to individualism The Fountainhead). When the launch of a deep-fake tool by Cory Michael Smith’s billionaire Venis plunges the world into financial and social meltdown, he and his alpha male peers – Jeff (Ramy Youssef), Randall (Steve Carell) and their host Souper (Jason Schwartzman) – insouciantly ponder exploiting this “moment of creative destruction” and taking over the world. As in Succession, Armstrong has a keen eye for the supercilious world of the super-rich, where people are expendable and petty grievances can be dressed up as utopianism. Simon Wardell
Inside Out, 3.30pm, BBC One
Pete Docter’s relentlessly inventive animation spins a touching yarn out of the competing emotions that swirl around a child’s brain. Joy (a chipper Amy Poehler) is the controlling voice in the head of 11-year-old Riley. But when the girl and her parents move to a big city, San Francisco, the other feelings – Anger, Fear, Disgust, but principally Phyllis Smith’s Sadness – come into play. An error in the handling of core emotions sends Joy and Sadness on a desperate quest into the weirder recesses of Riley’s mind to save their charge in a bitter, sweet tearjerker. SW
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, 9pm, Great! Action
Tommy Lee Jones always appears most at home on screen with a stetson, a horse and a noble purpose. For this rare 2005 foray into directing, he gave himself a plum role as Texas ranch foreman Pete, who is determined to honour the last wishes of his friend and colleague, illegal immigrant Melquiades (Julio Cedillo), shot dead by trigger-happy border patrolman Mike (Barry Pepper). A modern western with a social conscience and a dose of mordant wit, it also has time for those genre staples of self-sufficiency, friendship and loyalty. SW
