Colin from Accounts

10pm, BBC Two
The word-of-mouth hit Aussie comedy is back – but there is a paw-shaped hole as the second series starts. Ashley and Gordon (real-life couple and co-creators Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall) are regretting giving away Colin, the injured dog who brought them together. They are also realising that their relationship may not last in his absence. Can they get him back? The hurdles ahead include a bombshell secret and an excruciating meet-the-parents encounter. High jinks, hilarious one-liners and heartbreaking shots of Colin ensue. Hollie Richardson

Celebrity MasterChef

8pm, BBC One

“Do we at least get to keep the aprons?” Heat four gets under way but only two of the five stars will make it to the semi-finals. Dancer Vito Coppola brings the sizzle, but it is the Traitors star Diane Carson who seems really fired up – probably because her son dissed her Sunday roasts to the country. Graeme Virtue

Alec Guinness: A Class Act

8pm, Sky Arts
A densely packed biography of the master actor starts with what one contributor calls “a textbook horrible childhood”, but progresses to triumphant film performances in Great Expectations, Kind Hearts and Coronets and the rest. Archive clips are supported by words from colleagues and loved ones. Jack Seale

Freddie Flintoff: Field of Dreams on Tour

9pm, BBC One
In the concluding leg of Freddie Flintoff’s cricketing adventure with his youth team, the lads take on the oldest club in India. But this has never been about cricket alone. As they think about heading home, Flintoff – who has been facing his own demons – addresses the fears of homelessness and unemployment among his charges. HR

Elsbeth

9pm, Sky Witness
This breezy Good Wife spin-off tends to be elevated by a good guest murderer. This week, it is the terrific Keegan-Michael Key as a crooked asset manager who kills his daughter’s loose-lipped fiance on their wedding day. Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) moseys in and proceeds cheerfully to make his life a living hell. GV

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School

10.40pm, BBC One
After a run-in with teen killer Bloody Rose, Imogen (Bailee Madison) is traumatised – particularly because the murderer greatly resembled her late mother. But when she seeks reassurances from Dr Sullivan (Annabeth Gish), Imogen discovers the therapist’s strange connection with“Stalker A”. Meanwhile, the mystery of Bloody Rose’s identity nears its climax. Nicole Vassell
