Wednesday’s best TV: One Born Every Minute; 100 Women

One Born Every Minute
9pm, Channel 4

Season 11 moves to Birmingham women’s hospital, a change of scene that offsets this obs-doc’s basic format, having long since lost the element of surprise. One labour comes with a pleasant story about the romance behind it overcoming the caste gap between two British-Indian families; another doesn’t go according to a fiercely crafted birth plan. A third brings the real drama, as years of worry are overcome amid classic One-Born scenes of families whose strength and vulnerability takes unexpected shapes. Jack Seale

100 Women
4pm, Sky News

On the eve of International Women’s Day, Kay Burley hosts a debate on gender in Britain today. A panel of women from the worlds of entertainment, business and politics will discuss the results of Sky’s bespoke polling into contemporary attitudes – viewers will then weigh in via social media. Ellen E Jones

The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes
8pm, BBC Two

Caroline Quentin joins Piers Taylor to snoop around four unusual houses in Switzerland. They start out in the hamlet of Les Jeurs and then move on to a house overlooking Lake Maggiore. There is an S-shaped home near Zurich, but the real showstopper is a house with views over Lake Lucerne. Hannah Verdier

The Assassination of Gianni Versace
9pm, BBC Two

The gripping dramatisation of events around the fashion icon’s bloody end continues, the clock flipping back to 1997 and Andrew Cunanan’s arrival in Miami. While the killer embarks on a life of prostitution, the relationship between Gianni and Antonio starts to fray. Mark Gibbings-Jones

Benidorm
9pm, ITV

The wedding party returns after a rather messy night out. There’s just one problem: Kenneth is nowhere to be found. Initially worried, Jacqueline is relieved when he turns up having apparently had “the night of his life”. Elsewhere, Rob acquaints himself with a much-anticipated chum from South America. Ben Arnold

Lucy Worsley’s Fireworks for a Tudor Queen
9pm, BBC Four

In 1575, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, made one of the more dramatic of his attempts to coax Queen Elizabeth I up the aisle: he staged an epic wingding at Kenilworth Castle, climaxing in a fireworks display. Here, Worsley and scientist Zoe Laughlin attempt to recreate it. Andrew Mueller

The East (Zal Batmanglij, 2013), 1.25am, Channel 4

Zal Batmanglij’s intelligent eco-thriller stars Brit Marling as ex-FBI agent Sarah, who is employed by a shady private security firm to infiltrate the eponymous activist group sworn to acts of sabotage – for instance, giving nasty big pharma a taste of their own medicine. A “message” film incorporating thrills, too. Paul Howlett
