Killing Eve

9.15pm, BBC One

Fresh from bagging a clutch of awards, the spy thriller begins a second series that kicks off 30 seconds after the close of the first and finds Villanelle fighting for her life after being stabbed by Eve. After an ultraviolent warm-up, everyone’s favourite international assassin heads for London to get her revenge. Mike Bradley

D-Day 75: Return to the Beaches

6pm, BBC Two

Three hundred veterans of the largest seaborne landing operation ever staged board a ship to return to the D-day beaches in Normandy to commemorate the thousands of their comrades who never made it home. Touchingly, one former soldier says he just wants to “raise a salute to the real heroes”. MB

Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule

7.30pm, ITV

“We’re not doing points, this isn’t The Chase!” Harry Hill’s surreal spin on celebrity panel shows has always been more interested in cultivating an anything-goes atmosphere of inclusive absurdity than doing something as boring as keeping score. The third series kicks off with a particularly seasoned guest list as Martine McCutcheon, Les Dennis, Alison Hammond and Sir Tom Courtenay heroically send themselves up in service to Harry’s daft skits and silly bits, including an unexpected tribute to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Voice Kids

8pm, ITV

The years between seven and 14 are a key time in building kids’ confidence, so what better way to do that than get them to sing to four people’s backs in the vain hope they’ll spin round and give them some attention? So begins a new series of The Voice Kids, with Jessie J joining coaches Will.i.am, Danny Jones and Pixie Lott. Hannah Verdier

Inspector Montalbano

9pm, BBC Four

The smooth Sicilian detective sets down his glass of inzolia and embarks on an investigation prompted by the discovery of a dusty war diary in a condemned bunker. No sooner has Montalbano started to delve into the book than a 90-year-old local man is found murdered. Are the two connected? MB

Piers Morgan’s Life Stories

9.35pm, ITV

With some more guarded celebrities, Morgan’s brash interview style can be oddly disarming, but how will it play with the ever-emoting Michael Barrymore? Barrymore certainly has an interesting tale to tell, from his time as king of the Saturday night shiny-floor show to his spectacular fall from grace. Ellen E Jones

Film choice

Untouchable, 12.05am, BBC Two

Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano’s seductive film survives its cliches thanks to the two charismatic leads: François Cluzet is quadriplegic millionaire Philippe, who hires young west African Driss (Omar Sy) as his new carer. The irreverent Driss’s effect on Philippe’s stuffy household is hugely enjoyable. Paul Howlett
