Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens
10pm, BBC Three
The always-a-delight actor returns with a third series of her zippy sitcom in which she plays directionless and dissatisfied millennial Nora.

Florence Nightingale: Nursing Pioneer
8pm, BBC Four

The Great British Sewing Bee
9pm, BBC One
En route to the quarter-finals, we’re revisiting the 90s – “a time when memorising phone numbers was a thing and houses cost a pound”. And when cargo pants stalked the Earth. In the pattern challenge, we meet them again: bellows pockets, “complex zips” and all. Next: celebrity-themed fancy dress outfits and supermodel dresses. Ali Catterall
Joanna Lumley’s Spice Trail Adventure
9pm, ITV1
Only Lumley could describe a toilet in a ship cabin that has a bucket and a pipe to wash your bottom with as “enchanting”. Anyway, she starts her voyage around the world’s greatest spice-trading countries with an 11-hour crossing to remote Indonesian islands in search of nutmeg. It’s a lovely, informative four-part series. HR
Body on the Beach: What Happened to Annie?
9pm, BBC Three
Scottish journalist Hazel Martin takes up the case of Annie Börjesson, a 30-year-old Swedish woman whose body was found on Prestwick beach nearly 20 years ago. Börjesson’s family have never accepted the verdict of suicide, and as Martin’s sensitive but sharp reporting kicks in, she raises questions including why the young woman’s body was bruised and her hair cut off. Hannah Verdier
The Change
10pm, Channel 4
Bridget Christie’s wonderfully surreal comedy about the menopause concludes with a double bill about the Eel festival – and it delivers a surprisingly beautiful and profound ending. Of course, there are still plenty of laughs, including a mention of “menopause and curry night”. HR
Film choice
Wham!, Netflix
The wildly talented director Chris Smith (whose work includes the bananas Fyre festival film and the still-weird documentary about the time Jim Carrey came to believe he was literally Andy Kaufman) turns his hand to one of the greatest, and most underappreciated, British pop groups of the 1980s. History has slowly eroded Wham! to a punchline: the hair! The naffness! The apparently superfluous nature of Andrew Ridgeley! But, through archive footage and voiceover, Smith attempts to reframe the popularity of the group as “two idiots” (in the words of George Michael) having the time of their lives. For anyone in the mood for a larky, summery nostalgia blast, Wham! will be hard to beat. Stuart Heritage
