A Dog Called Laura
9pm, ITV1
Martin Clunes is clearly struggling with how best to spend his time since Doc Martin ended. Fresh from a Dorset travelogue with Mel Giedroyc (he lives in Dorset, so there wasn’t much actual travel involved), here’s a documentary about guide dogs. He is about to adopt a retiring animal, Laura, and is helping her last owner to find a replacement. There are lots of cute dogs, so that’s nice, at least. Hollie Richardson
Soldier
9pm, BBC One
Anyone who is in the mood to watch lots of men shouting can tune in to this new five-part documentary about the lives of new recruits at the Infantry Training Centre in Catterick, North Yorkshire.

Picasso: The Beauty and the Beast
9pm, BBC Two
This finale of the three-part documentary follows the great artist from the height of his fame in Nazi-occupied Europe to his twilight years, when his creativity remained undimmed. Along the way, hearts are broken, children are discarded, and when “Don Pablo” dies in 1973, he leaves a legacy of tragedy and confusion. Ellen E Jones
The Lovers
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Each lover has a big secret in the penultimate episode of the anti-romcom – and they both come out during Janet’s visit to London (which is, unsurprisingly, her first time). Seamus has lied about ending his relationship but Janet’s revelation might just top that. HR
In Love and Toxic: Blue Therapy
10pm, E4
Proving just how moreish the fly on the wall therapy on TV format is, this nosy new show originally started life as a YouTube series. It follows five Black couples as they share the ups and downs of their relationships with gurus and life coaches in front of the camera. HR
Brassic
10pm, Sky Max
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst’s lairy sitcom about daft mates ducking and diving in a dead-end northern town is an acquired taste. But even five seasons in, it is never predictable. This week’s horseplay involves a secret bunker, a truly shocking death, a runaway hearse and a ventriloquist’s nightmarish dummy. Graeme Virtue
