Anne Boleyn
9pm, Channel 5
Jodie Turner-Smith stars in this new take on the familiar tale of Henry VIII’s beheaded second wife. A three-part psychological thriller recounting the panic-filled final months of her life, it is showing nightly until Thursday. We open with Anne pregnant and convinced that she will bear Henry an heir, yet when his adviser Thomas Cromwell shuts her out of an important political conversation, she realises her position in the royal household is growing more and more tenuous. I May Destroy You’s Paapa Essiedu co-stars. Ammar Kalia
Children of Shanghai
7pm, Sky Documentaries
Bear Grylls narrates this documentary following the stories of Chinese orphans who were rehomed by the charity Care for Children, established by the British expat couple Robert and Elizabeth Glover in 1998.

Bake Off: The Professionals
8pm, Channel 4
The professional version of this baking perennial, hosted by Tom Allen and the former GBBO contestant Liam Charles, is by a distance the most exacting version of the show – and also the least relatable. Tonight, Benoît Blin and Cherish Finden judge cuboid desserts and a macaron showpiece. Phil Harrison
Hospital

Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer
10pm, BBC Four
Talk of flattening curves feels very 2020, but visualising data has been a powerful tool against disease for more than a century. The series examining medical breakthroughs revisits pioneers such as William Farr, who used statistics to combat a cholera outbreak in 1866. Graeme Virtue
Film choice
Birds of Passage (Ciro Guerra, Cristina Gallego, 2018), 1.25am, Film4
Although not as stunning as his previous film, Embrace of the Serpent, Ciro Guerra’s mystical Colombian drama – co-directed by Cristina Gallego – shares its striking imagery and dreamlike atmosphere.
