Alex
11.05pm, Channel 4
Can you ever escape your past? In a familiar crime drama set-up, made mildly more exotic by being Swedish, dirty cop Alex Leko certainly hopes so as he vows to go straight after accidentally killing his partner and best buddy. But there are complications. Not only is Leko’s new partner, Frida Kanto, trying to build a case against him, but local crime boss BG isn’t keen to lose Leko’s services. The full series, from the Walter Presents strand, will be available to stream from All 4 after this episode has premiered. Jonathan Wright
Bad Move
8pm, ITV
The caustic rural sitcom grumbles on with hapless urbanites Nicky (Kerry Godliman) and Steve (Jack Dee) still trapped in a clapped-out country cottage. With the septic tank in pungent revolt, a new web-design contract seems to offer a financial lifeline, so long as they can hoodwink the glitzy client. Graeme Virtue
Upstart Crow
8.30pm, BBC Two
How do you sneak a play about the assassination of an emperor past Elizabeth I, a monarch not known to favour entertainments involving the ending of heads of state? Enjoy what happens when Will decides to write a play about Julius Caesar, prompting dramatist and snake Robert Greene to label him a traitor. Mike Bradley
Trust
9pm, BBC Two
Things go awry in the wake of J Paul Getty’s refusal to pay “a single, solitary cent” to his grandson’s captors, believing the kidnap was staged by the victim to extract money from him. Donald Sutherland’s absence is keenly felt in an episode set almost entirely in Italy with too much backstory. Still worth sticking with. MB
Grand Designs
9pm, Channel 4
Who would have dreamed of recreating the American modernist house from 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in a valley in Cornwall? Superfans Harry and Briony Anscombe, that’s who. The pair have paid £490,000 for the plot and they are hoping to spend £400,000, tops, on the build. With a budget like that, they’ll never stretch to a red Ferrari like Cameron’s dad’s. MB
The National Lottery Awards 2018
10.45pm, BBC One
Not a ceremony celebrating the lottery itself – although eight, 19 and 37 have really excelled themselves this year – but a chance to learn about and laud the charity projects the lottery funds. Strictly champion Ore Oduba hosts, with recently retired boxer David Haye and actors Meera Syal and Michael Sheen among the star presenters. Jack Seale

Marina is a transgender singer in Santiago, in a loving relationship with divorcee Orlando (Francisco Reyes). When he dies, she is suspected of murder and subjected to grotesque prejudice from police, officials and the dead man’s family. Daniela Vega is, indeed, fantastic as Marina. Paul Howlett
