The Miracle
9pm, Sky Atlantic
This well-heeled Sky Italia drama about a plastic Virgin Mary statue weeping blood in the run-up to a vital referendum has, over the course of six episodes, veered wildly between world-weary satire and melodramatic soap. In the concluding double bill, Premier Fabrizio copes with a heartbreaking crisis involving his son, while shellshocked priest Marcello – a shabby chancer who wouldn’t be out of place on Craggy Island – has a cryptic encounter with a bellissimo guest star.

Shetland
9pm, BBC One
Writer Ann Cleeves (also of Vera fame) published her final Shetland novel, Wild Fire, in October last year, which makes the finale of this series all the sweeter. We have travelled a long road to reach this point and now we reap our reward in a gripping denouement that puts us through the wringer. Electric. Mike Bradley
America’s Secret Space Heroes
9pm, Smithsonian
A rousing, but level-headed, film about the engineers without whom the Apollo 11 crew wouldn’t have got to the moon – and Apollo 13 wouldn’t have come home. Developing the lunar excursion module is a story of near-impossible demands, bad test runs, and a fix using duct tape and a sock. Jack Seale
The Internet’s Dirtiest Secrets: The Cleaners – Storyville
9pm, BBC Four
This absorbing doc explores the world of digital content moderation, where undesirable material is “cleaned” from the internet. In Manila, we meet a hidden army of poorly paid unknowns taking major editorial decisions as they delete 25,000 posts each day. Mike Bradley
Derry Girls
9.15pm, Channel 4
“Dirty English bastards!” rages Granda Joe at boybands gyrating on the TV. So now may not be the best time for the girls to announce their trip to a Take That gig in Belfast. Despite being forbidden, they’ll do anything to get there. Cue a pilgrimage involving Sister Michael and escaped polar bears. Mike Bradley
London: 2,000 Years of History
9.15pm, Channel 5
Were a time traveller to visit the capital circa 1850, they would be wise to take gallons of bottled water and a gas mask to smother the stink of the Thames. In tonight’s history lesson, Dan Jones and Suzannah Lipscomb explore the Great Fire and Joseph Bazalgette’s sewage system. Ali Catterall
Film choice
Kaleidoscope 12 midnight, Film4
Toby Jones displayed a penchant for horror in Berberian Sound Studio, and is similarly gloomy here. Directed by his brother, Rupert, he plays ex-prisoner Carl, who lives in a soulless council block, with Anne Reid as his mother and Sinead Matthews the woman who comes to visit. A grim tale sustained by fine acting. Paul Howlett
