The Trials of Oscar Pistorius
9.10pm, BBC Two
The ill-judged BBC trailer for this four-part doc managed to discuss the tragedy of Pistorius without mentioning his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Happily, the series as a whole is more sensitive, hearing from Steenkamp’s relatives and pointing out that her 2013 murder at the hands of the Paralympian was part of a continuum of gender-based violence in South Africa. Elsewhere, the film is a journey through an initially triumphant but eventually destructive life. Phil Harrison
A Wild Year on Earth
8pm, Sky Nature
As the climate crisis disrupts seasonal patterns, how does wildlife adapt?

Graeme Virtue
His Dark Materials
8.10pm, BBC One
The Philip Pullman adaptation returns. As the consequences of Asriel’s adventurism become clear, Lyra is picking up the pieces with the help of the diffident Will (Amir Wilson). The performances – from Dafne Keen’s spirited Lyra to Ruth Wilson’s villainous Mrs Coulter – make up for some languid pacing. PH
