Judi Dench’s Wild Borneo Adventure
9pm, ITV
Not only does Judi Dench have a ball in this spectacular two-part documentary visit to Borneo, she also makes an impassioned plea for the preservation and protection of the impressive variety of plants and animals she encounters. Among them are towering, buttressed seraya trees, rhinoceros hornbills, pangolins, sun bears and, of course, the orangutan population. The very existence of these gentle giants is threatened by logging and palm-oil plantations. Mike Bradley
Ackley Bridge
8pm, Channel 4
Could the Yorkshire school drama be succumbing to Orange Is the New Black syndrome? Not only has a major character been offed, in the form of Missy, but the chaotic school takeover is also overshadowing the rest of the plot. There is some respite this week, however, if only via a storyline that focuses on Kaneez and Rashid’s romance. Hannah J Davies

Inside the Bank of England
9.30pm, BBC Two
Almost as impenetrable as the bank itself, this two-part profile of the UK’s most important financial institution battles to keep our attention amid a blizzard of statistics and interest rates.

Drag SOS
10pm, Channel 4
The Family Gorgeous are in Ipswich, helping three locals “find their fabulous” through drag. You could not wish for a more open-hearted trio than 18-year-old factory worker Brandon, mum-of-six Anna and farmer Steve.

Crashing
10.10pm, Sky Atlantic
In season three of Pete Holmes’s self-flagellating dramedy, his screen alter-ego is mentoring a rookie comic (Jaboukie Young-White) in Manhattan.

The Great Beauty (Paolo Sorrentino, 2013), 12.40pm, Film4
Paolo Sorrentino’s trusty leading man, Toni Servillo, stars as the 65-year-old Jep Gambardella, habitué of Rome’s most fashionable nightspots until news of a death plunges him into a reassessment of his life.
