The Chris & Rosie Ramsey Show

10.40pm, BBC One

The married motormouthed podcasters plough on with the second series of their chatshow. Joining them this week: father and son duo Michael and Jack Whitehall, who are used to sharing their “beefs” with each other on screen and on podcasts. The audience are asked to spill the beans on their relationships, too. Hollie Richardson

Gardeners’ World

8pm, BBC Two

Getting green-fingered helped journalist Rosie Kinchen deal with postnatal depression, as she discusses in this week’s moving episode. Meanwhile, if you fancy trying to grow aubergines, Rekha Mistry has some tricks up her sleeve. HR

Hidden Treasures of the National Trust

9pm, BBC Two

This wholesome series exploring the nation’s historical treasures reaches Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, where there is a struggle to save a clematis (and the beautiful original terracotta pot that has housed it for decades) that was planted by the writer Vita Sackville-West. Then, it’s off to Bateman’s, Rudyard Kipling’s old gaff in Sussex. Phil Harrison

Bel-Air

9pm, Sky Max

A strong episode of the glossy high-school fantasy sees Will (Jabari Banks) learning a political lesson when he encourages Carlton (Olly Sholotan) to lead a protest against the sacking of a black teacher: Carlton is an establishment man at heart, and he has been nobbled. Will vows that the revolution will not be compromised. Jack Seale

Black Ops

9.30pm, BBC One

The cop caper continues with Dom and Kay wondering if Clinton set them on the mission to get dirt on the police and not the gang. There’s not much time to ponder it right now, though, as they currently owe said gang thousands of pounds. Might Kay’s dodgy youth pastor help? HR

Bump

11.25pm, BBC One

This warm Aussie comedy about a teenager who becomes pregnant unexpectedly might not be the most original proposition, but it slips down effortlessly nonetheless. As series three kicks off with a double bill, Jacinda is off to kindergarten and Santi has some surprising news for his daughter and his ex. Hannah J Davies

Baby Done (Curtis Vowell, 2020), 9pm, BBC Three
In New Zealand, there is a strain of excellent misfit comedy epitomised by Taika Waititi, and often enabled by him, too. Curtis Vowell’s 2020 film is a fine example of the style. Rose Matafeo stars as Zoe, a tree surgeon in a work/love relationship with Tim (Harry Potter alumnus Matthew Lewis). Then she finds out she is going to have a baby and a severe case of “pregnancy negation” kicks in – confusion, denial, tree-climbing. It is a smart tale exploring that point in most adults’ lives where youthful and irresponsible tips into grownup and (slightly) less self-centred. Simon Wardell
