Prey
9pm, ITV
Chris Lunt’s brilliantly tense fugitive series returns and the gamekeeper-turned-poacher this series is Philip Glenister. He’s a prison officer, dragged into a dastardly escape plan and chained to prisoner MyAnna Buring, playing brilliantly against type. Rosie Cavaliero is back as DS Susan Reinhardt, the woman on their trail. Second outings of brilliant, self-contained drama series are a big risk (see Broadchurch II), but this new setup works a treat and there’s hardly time to draw breath before the chase is back on.

The Secrets of the Mona Lisa
9pm, BBC2
Apparently, we may be on the verge of solving some of the mysteries that swirl around the Mona Lisa and her enigmatic smile. Couldn’t art historians just leave well alone? Of course not. But if we must have explanations, Andrew Graham-Dixon, who has an admirable knack for conveying his enthusiasms, is the best man for the job. In a one-off doc, Graham-Dixon outlines the latest work on Da Vinci’s masterpiece, research that has seen experts decoding aged documents and employing the latest optical and forensic tools. Jonathan Wright
The Apprentice
9pm, BBC1
Eight candidates remain and, after a punishing series so far, an invigorating snack might be just the thing to boost those business brains. Yes, this week the wannabe entrepreneurs must elbow their way into the crowded health food market, inventing and branding a foodstuff in two days, before attempting to sell it to leading industry names. If that wasn’t enough, this is the week where the teams are duly pruned in preparation for the final. The final five contenders are discussed in a separate show at 10.35pm. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Peep Show
10pm, Channel 4
Sophie turns up and, while getting smashed on rum, comes out with an unexpected offer for Mark. It’s one that’s made all the more appealing when April delivers bad news about her and Mark’s future following last week’s snog. Meanwhile, Super Hans is up to some skulduggery when an online football video uses one of his and Jez’s old “turbo folk” tracks, All the Whores of Malta, on its soundtrack. Deprived of credit, Jez pursues the only form of negotiation available: snake kidnap. Ben Arnold
Grey’s Anatomy
10pm, Sky Living
Season 12 of Shonda Rhimes’s glossy medical drama, and Meredith is adjusting to her new housemates. It’s an upbeat start, but reality sets in when two girls are brought into the hospital after being hit by a train. As the staff become emotionally involved, one of the girls’ parents comes away with a well-deserved slap. Bailey hopes to become chief of surgery but it’s a hotly contested job. Meanwhile, April is back in Seattle and desperate to talk to Jackson about their relationship. Hannah Verdier
Suspects
10pm, Channel 5
The semi-improvised nature of Suspects means that what it gains in verisimilitude, it sometimes loses in clunky interactions. Tonight, the team look into the shooting of the Rev Dan Matthews, whose community work has made him a local hero. These investigations unwittingly open up a second front: a serious claim of abuse made against the vicar. To the show’s credit, dramatic use of forensic evidence, so decisive in other cop shows, is completely underplayed; what emerges instead is the prosaic seediness of crime. John Robinson
Josh
10.30pm, BBC3
Penultimate episode of the sitcom starring self-deprecating comic Josh Widdicombe as a fictive version of himself. Despite a shaky start, it has slowly moved away from sub-Peep Show flatshare gags, and tonight’s outing is its funniest yet. Landlord Geoff (Jack Dee) has let out his flat for London fashion week, and packed Josh, Kate and Owen off to Clacton. Unfortunately for the friends, he’s tagging along, too, with an awkward nephew and an unlikely proposition for Josh. The Chuckle Brothers and Romesh Ranganathan guest star. Hannah J Davies
Film choice
Quartet (Dustin Hoffman, 2012) 9pm, BBC4
Hoffman, no slouch in front of the camera, proves he’s actors’ best friend as director, providing an engaging, gently comedic script (by Ronald Harwood, adapting his play) about a home for retired musicians, and giving them time and space to express their talents. Inmates include Michael Gambon, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins and Billy Connolly, with haughty diva Maggie Smith ruffling feathers. Paul Howlett
Buchanan Rides Alone (Budd Boetticher, 1958) 3.25am, Channel 4
A light-hearted Boetticher-Randolph Scott collaboration investing standard plot with bushwhacking good humour. Scott plays cheery Buchanan, riding into Agry Town and clearing it of the Agry boys amid time-honoured fist-fightin’, shootin’ and lynchin’. This is what B-westerns were meant to be. Ride on, Randolph. PH
