Our Girl

9pm, BBC One

Michelle Keegan returns as the British army medic Georgie, now home after her last three seasons’ worth of covert missions in Kenya, Nepal and Afghanistan. Following the traumas she witnessed while on active duty, she has been convinced to remain in a training role in Britain. We open with Georgie in the midst of domesticity, attending a wedding, but a mishap with a trainee medic set to go on another tour in her place leaves her questioning whether she should return to danger and help her fellow recruits.

The Art Mysteries With Waldemar Januszczak

8.30pm, BBC Four

Art detective Waldemar Januszczak is on another case. This time, the key evidence hangs in the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia: Seurat’s least-known painting Les Poseuses. It shows three nudes posing in the studio of the French post-impressionist. But who are they? Ellen E Jones

The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer

9pm, Channel 4

Four more celebs enter the tent to try their culinary chances, in the aid of charity (and competitiveness). Queer Eye’s Tan France is in attendance, along with the comic Joel Dommett, actor Caroline Quentin and British tennis professional Johanna Konta. AK

Comedy Against Living Miserably

9pm, Dave

Dommett is on this, too, with Kiri Pritchard-McLean, John Robins and Judi Love. It is billed as a mental health fundraiser, but turns out to be more powerful. Dommett opens, revealing his grief after the death of his friend Caroline Flack, and the comedians talk about the emotions behind their routines. Hannah Verdier

Curb Your Enthusiasm

9pm, Sky Comedy

Following Jon Hamm’s Larry David impression last week, season 10 of the exquisite grump ’em-up concludes with a double bill. While the celeb cameos have been memorable, this will be remembered as the “spite store” season, with the feud between Mocha Joe’s and Latte Larry’s boiling over. Graeme Virtue

Pictures from Afghanistan

10pm, BBC Scotland

Photojournalist David Pratt shows another side of Afghanistan entirely from that depicted by Our Girl. In this one-off doc, he explores why the country and its people have captivated him throughout his 40-year career, revisiting the settings of his images such as the once deserted Kabul zoo. AK

Alien: Covenant (Ridley Scott, 2017) 9pm, Film4

Awoken from cryo-sleep, the crew of the spaceship Covenant – along with enigmatic android Walter (Michael Fassbender) – change course, find a crashed alien craft, go poking around … and we know where that leads. Ridley Scott pilots this Prometheus prequel-sequel back to original territory. Paul Howlett
