Dispatches From Elsewhere
9pm, AMC
Jason Segel creates and stars in this decisively oddball 10-part series, chronicling the intertwining lives of four Philadelphians – Sally Field, André Benjamin and Eve Lindley – all watched over by the ominous and omniscient Octavian, played by Richard E Grant. All of the characters unite through a mysterious game and begin to undertake fantastical missions across the city. It’s a slow-moving opening but Segel’s performance as downtrodden everyman Peter finds him in pleasingly familiar territory. Ammar Kalia
The Repair Shop
8pm, BBC One
More heartwarming renovations in the barn where precious objects – and memories – are reborn . This week, gramophone expert Tim tries to bring an antique record player back to its former glory, while Steve turns his attention to an old miner’s lamp which saved its owner’s life during a mining accident.

Absolutely India: Mancs in Mumbai
8pm, ITV
Soap stars Adam, Scott and Ryan Thomas all embark on a post-colonial trip to India to explore their father’s roots growing up in Mumbai. The usual tropes of spicy foods, bright colours and people-packed streets crop up in this opening episode where the foursome take a trip to a Mumbai market. AK
Stumptown
9pm, Alibi
Dex Parios (How I Met Your Mother’s Cobie Smulders) is a war veteran with PTSD, a tangled love life and a brother in need of care. She quickly shows her skills as a smart private investigator and a woman who can fight her way out of every situation, with the violence tempered by classic pop songs in this promising series opener.

Code 404
10pm, Sky One
There’s a touch of Robocop in this new series where Daniel Mays stars as DI John Major, killed in the line of duty but rebooted as a bionic detective a year later and reunited with his partner DI Roy Carver (Stephen Graham) to track down his killer. Major is a few marbles short of a full brain though, so the comedy ensues. AK
Station 19
10pm, Sky Witness
The firefighters respond to a car crash at a favourite after-hours haunt of the Grey Sloan Hospital staff, and the scene is set for this Grey’s Anatomy crossover. If you assumed multiple casualties would leave little time for personal problems then, clearly, you’ve never seen a Shondaland show before. Ellen E Jones

The Royal Tenenbaums (Wes Anderson, 2001) 9.05am, Sky Cinema Greats
Gene Hackman is the patriarch Royal Tenenbaum, claiming to be terminally ill and intent on reuniting his dysfunctional New York clan, including Anjelica Huston and Gwyneth Paltrow. Wes Anderson’s typically idiosyncratic tale moves from caricature into deeper, moving territory. PJH
