Perry Mason
9pm, Sky Atlantic
With its muted trumpets and noirish atmosphere, this reimagining of the classic 50s/60s drama feels admirably faithful to the spirit of the original. Matthew Rhys is expressive and sympathetic as the mournful, dishevelled defence attorney of the title (here in his pre-legal career as a low-rent private investigator), and the period trappings of Depression-era US are beautifully rendered. The plot is a bleak one: after the kidnapping of a child goes tragically wrong, it falls to Mason to investigate a case of which the implications spread further and wider than he could possibly have imagined. Phil Harrison
Gathering Storm
8pm, National Geographic
This new series issued cameras to 1,000 marine workers around the globe and reaped an alarming whirlwind of footage. It kicks off with Hurricane Dorian, the Atlantic storm of 2019, here seen up close in battered hotspots including Barbados, North Carolina and the deck of a cargo ship. Graeme Virtue
Murder in the Car Park
9pm, Channel 4
The 1987 murder of Daniel Morgan is one of those crimes that deserves national attention. It remains unsolved, having begun in the world of organised crime and spread into the higher echelons of the British establishment. As this series continues, Morgan’s brother tells his side of the story. PH
Art of Persia
9pm, BBC Four
Zoroastrianism is one of the great lost religions; a shame, says Prof Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, as it focuses on “good works, good thoughts and good deeds”, which we could definitely have a bit more of these days. Samira Ahmed explores the ancient Persian faith and its Fire Temples. Ali Catterall
Comedians: Home Alone
10pm, BBC Two
The comedians of Britain continue to make the best of a bad job. Tonight’s selection of homemade sketches and songs includes quarantine etiquette from Tom Allen, plus Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar recreating the Kumars. But, most excitingly, look out for an animated version of Bob Mortimer’s Train Guy. PH
I May Destroy You
10.45pm, BBC One
Michaela Coel’s drama, already nailed on for 2020’s best-of lists, continues. Arabella (Coel) is in a phase of processing her trauma that involves reassessing other events, which means resuming the show’s examination of transgressions both obvious and insidious. It is a masterly piece. Jack Seale
Film choice
Call Me By Your Name, 9pm, Film4
This most sensual of summer romances is set in northern Italy, where young musician Elio (Timothée Chalamet) is entranced by a suave American graduate Oliver (Armie Hammer) at his family home. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, it’s an exquisitely crafted account of a languorous love affair. Paul Howlett

• This article was amended on 25 June 2020. An earlier version incorrectly referred to the original Perry Mason series as “the classic 70s detective drama” whereas it aired in the 50s and 60s and featured Mason as a defence lawyer. The new series deals with Mason’s pre-legal career as a private investigator.
