Un Amore

9pm, Sky Atlantic

This nostalgic Italian romantic drama follows Alessandro (Stefano Accorsi) and Anna (Micaela Ramazzotti), who meet while travelling across Europe in the summer of 1996. Fast forward 20 years and they both find themselves in Bologna – and sparks are still there. It’s not that easy, though, what with marriages, kids and everything in between. With plenty of flashbacks, it’s woozy, escapist and full of longing. Hollie Richardson

Dragons’ Den

8pm, BBC One

There is more anxiety-ridden pitching to inquisitive Dragons as series 21 of this astoundingly hardy business show continues. Tonight, the investment opportunities getting the once-over include thermostats for rental properties, snackable granola and, somewhat dubiously, a range of natural makeup for children. Phil Harrison

Darren McGarvey: The State We’re In

9pm, BBC Two

McGarvey’s state-of-the-nation polemic concludes with him spending time in the NHS. Sure, it’s no surprise that he finds “a shitshow”, but he does a fantastic job exploring all areas (including a troubling appointment with a private doctor) and really listening to the people who so obviously care about their work.

Things You Should Have Done

9pm, BBC Three

Lucia Keskin’s affably offbeat family sitcom concludes with this double bill of redemption for “stay-at-home daughter” Chi (Keskin). First, she must make good with her “diagnosed uptight” Auntie Karen (a superbly sour Selin Hizli). Then, at last, she’s moving out of her parents’ home and making a life for herself in Spain. Or she’s trying to, anyway. Ellen E Jones

Rob Beckett’s Smart TV

9pm, Sky Max

This brash new panel show is more about zingers and trash-talking than rigorously testing telly knowledge but it has quickly found a rowdy groove. Tonight, team captains Alison Hammond and Josh Widdicombe are joined by Natasia Demetriou, Roman Kemp, David Morrissey and Ghosts star/Buffy superfan Kiell Smith-Bynoe. Graeme Virtue

Whitstable Pearl

9pm, Drama

After Life star Kerry Godliman is single mum Pearl Nolan, who starts her own private detective agency in this cosy teatime crime drama. It starts with her finding a friend’s body chained to his ship’s anchor, and suspecting foul play when the police think it was an accident. HR
