Line of Duty
9pm, BBC One
The penultimate episode of a fifth season that hasn’t cleared the cloud-scraping bar set by the previous four: the double, triple or quadruple narrative bluff of “is Hastings H?” has smothered the rest of the story somewhat. But there is an abrupt acceleration in tonight’s instalment, and a new face to offset the nagging feeling that the big scenes are variations on old themes. Ultimately, the only truly important thing is whether you will be left desperate for next week’s finale. You bet, fella. Jack Seale
Miriam’s Dead Good Adventure
9pm, BBC Two
After seeking ways to cheat death last week, the time has come for Miriam Margolyes to face the inevitable. That means conversations with the terminally ill and the practical types at “Coffin Club”, and even a little ketamine? For the purposes of “hallucinogenic psychotherapy”, naturally. Ellen E Jones
Victoria
9pm, ITV
Do we really believe Jenna Coleman’s youthful Queen Victoria could have had seven children? There are rumblings of the role being recast soon as we savour an episode that sees the monarch scandalised by private etchings published in a newspaper, while Bertie gets out of control and the finger points at meddlesome Feodora. Mike Bradley
Hostile Planet
9pm, National Geographic
Bear Grylls narrates a six-part wildlife series about the impact of climate change on animals that live in hostile environments. Up there with the best of Planet Earth, it opens with jaw-dropping footage of a snow leopard kill, before a nail-biting sequence of goslings in jeopardy and footage of warring gelada monkeys. MB
The Adulterer
11pm, Channel 4
This promising Dutch drama begins with photographer Iris Hoegaarde (Sylvia Hoeks) and lawyer Willem Steenhouwer (Fedja van Huet) embarking on an illicit relationship that is doomed to draw them into a web of lies and murder. An attractive, sexy slowburner. Available in full on All 4 after the episode. MB
Swansea Love Story
12midnight, Vice
A TV debut for Vice’s acclaimed 2010 film about a Welsh city in flux, centred on a couple addicted to heroin and those around them. From children scoring drugs at school to sexual abuse and generations of addiction, this is far from a cheery watch. But nine years down the line it still packs a punch. Hannah J Davies
