FBI

9pm, Sky Witness

This slick thriller, the centrepiece of the latest franchise from Law & Order’s creator, Dick Wolf, stars Missy Peregrym as the FBI agent Maggie Bell. It’s now on to its fifth season, which begins with a bang as the team try to buy a bomb from an illegal weapons broker as part of a sting operation. However, their inquiries reveal that the weapon has already fallen into the wrong hands. There’s a personal dimension, too, as the case leads to Jeremy Sisto’s Agent Valentine breaking a promise.

Great War Diaries

10.45am, PBS America

A moving series offering human perspectives on the first world war, which created carnage on an almost industrial scale. Via letters and journals, it presents the insights of, among others, a Scottish nurse who accompanied the British army to Belgium and a German mother who endured the loss of her son. PH

The Hidden World of Hospitality With Tom Kerridge

8pm, BBC Two

The struggles of British pubs have been among the most mortifying developments in British life recently. As this series continues, Tom Kerridge visits boozers fighting for survival. Most notably, there is the Pony Chew Valley in Somerset, which has rebranded as a restaurant, cookery school and wedding venue. PH

Bangers & Cash

8pm, Yesterday

The best car-fondling show on telly returns for season eight, with the usual array of star vehicles rolling into the Mathewsons’ auction house in North Yorkshire. A 97-year-old Talbot, a classic Golf GTI and a gorgeous Facel Vega all acquire satisfied new owners. Jack Seale

And Just Like That

9pm, Sky Comedy

The first of the two-part finale is here and we just desperately want Samantha’s return now, please. In fact, wouldn’t it be nice if she and Seema – the only decent character left in the show – became buds and got their own spinoff? Anyway, Carrie has just sold her flat to move in with Aidan, but domestic bliss with this pair has always been too good to be true. Hollie Richardson

Sky Coppers

10pm, Channel 4

All hands (and paws) on deck, as West Midlands police’s drone unit joins forces with the helicopter team and some police dogs to track down a car thief – who has presumably had more luck so far than the one who left behind a trail of documents with his address on them. Ali Catterall
