Then You Run

9pm, Sky Max

This eight-part adaptation of Zoran Drvenkar’s 2014 novel, You, is a fun thriller – if you’re prepared to lean into the silliness of it all. It opens with a flashback to a killer on a road where snow has forced scores of cars to stop for the night. How does this link to the four teenage girls now on the run in Rotterdam with three kilos of heroin? The answer is found in the wild, gory and sometimes funny tale that plays out. Hollie Richardson

Gardeners’ World

8pm, BBC Two

The green-fingered team reports live from the RHS Hampton Court Palace garden festival, showcasing the stunning show gardens, the fabulous floral marquee and 20 new varieties of dahlia. Plus: tips on water conservation, gardening on a budget and maximising rented outdoor spaces. Ali Catterall

Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef

8pm, Channel 4

We have reached the semi-finals of this slightly overfamiliar but still engaging high-end cookery contest. The contenders host a fine-dining feast at London’s Langham hotel with each of the four remaining chefs responsible for one course.

Riches

9pm, ITV1

The battle is on in the second episode of this glossy, big-money drama. Nina is struggling to get to grips with the family business she just inherited, but there’s no way she’s going to surrender it to her stepmum and half-siblings – who hire a hotshot lawyer to get back what they think is theirs. HR

Celebrity Gogglebox

9pm, Channel 4

Melanie C and her brother Paul, Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv, and Mo Gilligan with Babatunde Aléshé are just a few of the fan favourites playing armchair critic in the celebrity version of the hit series about the week’s TV. HR

Der Pass

9pm, Sky Atlantic

Season three of the Austrian-German serial killer procedural with pagan overtones continues. As our central cop duo struggles – Ellie’s love life has imploded and the larger-than-life Gedeon is plagued by traumatic hallucinations – their target feels emboldened enough to strike in broad daylight at a local pool.

Black Adam, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had such high hopes for Black Adam, positioning his glowering superhero as a potential rival to Superman. That didn’t end up being the case, of course – both Black Adam and Johnson were junked as soon as James Gunn took over at DC – which leaves this film as a strange little curio. Johnson plays the lead right on the edge of parody. There’s a character named Atom Smasher. And Pierce Brosnan, done up like Colonel Sanders, holds something called The Helmet of Fate. Honestly, it’s fun. Stuart Heritage
