The White Lotus
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Bella, bella … season two of Mike White’s five-star comedy about rich people behaving poorly at a luxury resort relocates the action from Hawaii to Sicily with a (mostly) new ensemble cast. Among the guests checking in alongside Jennifer Coolidge’s reliably daffy Tanya are Aubrey Plaza as newly wealthy cynic Harper, Michael Imperioli as a sex-addict Hollywood producer and F Murray Abraham as a lascivious old goat. Our longsuffering host this time is Valentina (Sabrina Impacciatore). As was the case in the first season, we are tipped off from the outset that not everyone will survive the week but the mystery element takes a back seat to White’s scabrous repartee. Graeme Virtue

Made in the 80s: The Decade That Shaped Our World
10pm, Channel 4
“Thatcher’s bloody Britain!” as Rick from The Young Ones dubbed it, was a tumultuous place. The second part of this brisk history explores culture that flowered in chaos. It’s a story of precarity: with the Aids crisis as a backdrop and social strife a constant, everyone from Hanif Kureishi to Holly Johnson went for broke and created art that gripped and transgressed.
