The Ranganation
9pm, BBC Two
Jack Whitehall’s done it. AJ Odudu’s done it. And Romesh Ranganathan is doing it too. Seeing the parents of TV presenters invited to share the limelight with their offspring is often entertaining; this time, the battles of the Ranganathan dinner table are replayed in public as Romesh and his mum explore current affairs. They will be joined by a diverse focus group, comprising 25 members of the public, who’ll be casting their eyes across the week’s no-doubt infuriating and dispiriting news and giving their verdicts.

What the Durrells Did Next

Keeley Hawes has been charming viewers as the matriarch of the Corfu-based family, but, as the series ends, she delves into the Durrells’ lives in a one-off doc. She follows the family’s story once they left the island, including branching out to save endangered species in Africa as well as break-ups and family secrets. Hannah Verdier

What We Do in the Shadows
9.45pm, BBC Two
Who could resist Matt Berry as a dandy vampire? Especially in the company of Kayvan Novak and Natasia Demetriou as his fellow bloodsuckers in a louche sitcom set in New York, which sees Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi reimagine their 2014 movie for television. MB
Life Is a Circus
10pm, BBC Four

Locked Up
11.20pm, Channel 4
A new series means new inmates for the Cruz del Sur but will any of them challenge Macarena’s número uno status? You also wouldn’t bet against Spain’s most dangerous accountant making another bid for freedom. We, on the other hand, remain prisoner to Locked Up’s outrageous plot twists. EEJ
Film choice
All Is Lost 12.25am, Channel 4
Or The Old Man and the Sea: JC Chandor’s relentless and gripping drama stars Robert Redford as an unnamed sailor, alone on a sinking boat on the ocean. We don’t know why he’s there; it’s as minimalist as can be, and Redford – though near-silent – is superb as the embattled wanderer struggling for survival. Paul Howlett
