8pm, BBC One
It’s all about musical mends this week. Often that means restoring an instrument to former glory, such as the vintage bass drum that Dalkeith Borough Band in Midlothian have recently recovered. Then, once the music restarts, the real mending of hearts can begin. That’s certainly how Billy the blind Royal Artillery veteran feels about his bugle. Ellen E Jones

And that’s just for starters: the pair then get stuck into a double missing-persons case. HR
