Storyville: Portrait of a Confused Father

10pm, BBC Four
A joyous yet tragic introduction to a film by its Norwegian maker and narrator, Gunnar Hall Jensen, as he explains that the little boy in the home video clips we are watching – his son, Jonathan – is now dead. Jensen went on to capture their relationship on camera for more than 20 years, which he candidly reflects on here, until Jonathan started to become withdrawn and distanced from his father before being killed at 21.

Sort Your Life Out With Stacey Solomon

8pm, BBC One
Almarie is parenting 10-year-old Maria on her own after the sudden death of her husband, Marcus, three years ago. Only now does Almarie feel able to go through his belongings and decide what to keep and what can make space for new memories. Stacey Solomon helps with warmth and care. HR

The Dog House

8pm, Channel 4
It’s always a very welcome return for this rescue-dog series. The first canines looking for a home include energetic cockapoo twins Milo and Mabel; Floyd, a dangerously underweight stray lurcher; and Willis, a lonely three-legged pomeranian. Luckily, there are families desperate to take them home (how could they not be?). HR

Europe on the Edge With Katya Adler

9pm, BBC Two

The BBC’s Europe editor wraps up her whistle-stop tour of the region’s biggest economies to gauge how they are reacting in an era of global uncertainty. The packed itinerary includes an eventful ride with firefighters in rural Spain and a continent-hopping visit to French Guiana for a European Space Agency rocket launch. Graeme Virtue

Ellis

9pm, Channel 5
Another meaty murder case in a small village for DCI Ellis (Sharon D Clarke) and DS Chet Harper (Andrew Gower) to solve: university student Abi is found crushed underneath collapsed scaffolding at a construction firm. Had she been investigating some fishy business there? Concludes on Wednesday. HR

The Dyers’ Caravan Park

9pm, Sky One
It’s the penultimate episode of this jaunty, flimsy series, and Danny and Dani still aren’t satisfied with their updated caravan park. There’s opposition to the playground plans and the council are causing problems, too. Still, the bingo nights remain a safe bet – unless Dyer Sr messes with a winning formula there as well.
