Two Weeks in August
9.15pm, BBC One
The middle-class holiday from hell presses on and the ramifications of Dan and Jess’s indiscretion become clear. Zoe (the superb Jessica Raine) feels liberated and determined to let her hair down; a Gods and Monsters fancy dress party at the home of appalling expats Flick and James looks like a perfect opportunity. But things get out of hand in all sorts of entertaining and terrible ways. Great fun. Phil Harrison
The 1966 World Cup Final: In Colour
4.45pm, Channel 4
An evocative rewind back to exactly zero years of hurt to get us in the mood for the World Cup. The game has been meticulously colourised in order to be revisited in full, complete with its VAR-defying Russian linesman. Spoiler alert: everything went pretty well for once. PH
Celebrity Bridge of Lies
5.35pm, BBC One
An Olympian turns the competitiveness up a notch on Ross Kemp’s rocky truth-or-lie bridge this week. Former track and field athlete and London 2012 gold medallist Greg Rutherford attempts to cross with children’s telly legend Janet Ellis, Scottish actor and comedian Sanjeev Kohli and former EastEnders star Louisa Lytton. Hollie Richardson
Blankety Blank
6.20pm, BBC One
Chris McCausland was side-splitting throughout his last appearance on the wordy quizshow, especially after getting the “guide dog” answer wrong. He returns for another shot, along with fellow celebrities Emmett J Scanlan, Melvin Odoom, Sue Perkins, Grace Dent and Vanessa Williams. HR
Casualty
8.25pm, BBC One
Clinical lead Flynn is convinced that young soldiers are being violently hazed by the same cruel colonel he clashed with during his days as an army medic. But can he convince a traumatised recruit to blow the whistle? Elsewhere, an agitated woman trashes an ambulance in desperate search of pain relief. Graeme Virtue
Monsieur Spade
9pm, U&Drama
This tense, violent gumshoe thriller which stars Clive Owen as grumpy, retired but still embattled Sam Spade concludes with a double bill. We flashback to France’s entanglement in Algeria for some context as MI6 get in touch with Spade about the activities of child codebreaker Zayd. PH
Film choice
Hoppers, out now, Disney+
“We’re all in this together.” It may seem an obvious eco message to be pushing at the kids who will flock to watch the latest Pixar animation. But when it’s done as charmingly as in Daniel Chong’s sci-fi comedy adventure, you’d be hard-pressed not to cheer along with the film’s endangered animals. Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda) is our teenage human guide to a biodiverse nook of woods and water near Beaverton. But when a proposed freeway causes the wildlife to scatter, she “hops” her mind into a robotic beaver (invented by her biology teacher) so she can track them down and save their glade. Crammed with neat gags, relatable villains and a shark assassin named Diane, it’s cute propaganda. Simon Wardell
The Curse of Frankenstein, 9.05pm, Talking Pictures TV
The first in what would be a distinguished line of colourful “Hammer horrors”, Terence Fisher’s 1957 adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel still packs a punch. Unable to copy the pathos-tinged Boris Karloff look, the film-makers fashioned a creature with a grey, clammy pallor and irredeembly violent tendencies. He doesn’t even turn up until halfway, but luckily Peter Cushing – in his first movie starring role – commands the screen as the hubristic Baron Frankenstein, a monomaniac diving gleefully off the ethical deep end. SW
Vermiglio, 9.20pm, BBC Four
The simple, traditional life of an Italian mountain community butts up against the frictions exposed by the second world war in Maura Delpero’s sensitive, beautiful drama. Tommaso Ragno wields his forbidding white moustache well as local teacher, and father of eight, Cesare. He is harbouring two army deserters: his nephew and the lad’s Sicilian friend Pietro (Giuseppe De Domenico). But then his eldest daughter Lucia (Martina Scrinzi) falls for Pietro, disturbing the family’s balance of power and stress-testing parental and gender norms to the brink of collapse. SW
