Justice: Those Who Kill

9pm, BBC Four

It’s that “cosy night in with a Danish crime thriller” time of the year again, so here’s an opening double bill to a fourth new story in the brooding and tense Those Who Kill series. Louise Bergstein (Natalie Madueño) is back, now teaching criminal profiling. But when a man is released from prison and shot dead while meeting his old gang, she is pulled in to take on the case – and gets into the nitty-gritty straight away. Hollie Richardson

The coaches have whittled down their semi-finalists to one apiece: Canadian singer-songwriter Storry (Team will.i.am), gospel vocalist Deb Orah (Team LeAnn), Swindon twins Billy and Louie (Team Tom) and soulful-voiced Bristolian Ava (Team McFly).

Apples Never Fall

9.10pm, BBC One

The well-heeled drama about a Palm Beach tennis dynasty struggling to cope with a missing matriarch reaches its penultimate episode.

Ottoman Empire By Train With Alice Roberts

Later … With Jools Holland

10.20pm, BBC Two

Fresh from an incendiary summer double bill with fellow 90s icons Suede, enduring Welsh rabble-rousers Manic Street Preachers are Jools’s main draw this week, showcasing songs from their 15th album, Critical Thinking. Other guests include pioneering Brit-funkers Cymande (unbelievably, making their first ever UK TV appearance). Phil Harrison

Film choice

Moonage Daydream, 10.10pm, Channel 4

Brett Morgen’s trippy documentary about David Bowie eschews the musical nuts and bolts for a kaleidoscopic sweep through the performer’s life and personal philosophy, all told in his own voice. Brilliantly edited from a vast array of footage (interviews, gigs, films, photos, art, animation), it begins with Ziggy Stardust then traces his continual reinventions down the years. It’s far from comprehensive – there’s no Angie Bowie or Tin Machine, and little prior to Ziggy – but it nails the shape-shifting quality of a musician always ahead of the curve. Simon Wardell
