Doctor Who
7.30pm, BBC One
Chaos abounds across time as Jodie Whittaker tackles one last adventure as the Doctor in tonight’s feature-length regeneration episode. A bullet train on a distant world comes under attack, seismologists suddenly disappear on 21st-century Earth, iconic paintings are being defaced, and the court of the Russian tsar in 1916 is enthralled by the shady Rasputin. There are also many old foes to deal with: the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Master. Luckily, 1980s companions Ace and Tegan are on hand to help, as Sophie Aldred and Janet Fielding reprise their roles. But only one outcome is certain: the Doctor will have a different face by the end of it all. Sammy Gecsoyler

After the sudden death of her husband Ahmed, a Dover-based ferry captain, Muslim convert Mary (Joanna Scanlan) discovers he had a French lover, Geneviève (Nathalie Richard), in Calais. She tracks down “the other woman” but their encounter doesn’t go as she anticipated, leaving Mary in a state of confusion that even her faith can’t help with. Featuring an expertly modulated performance by Scanlan, it’s an intensely moving film about the ways grief can take hold, and the barriers and transitions – national, cultural, familial – that face those left behind.
