Playing Nice
Sunday, 9pm, ITV1
What would you do if you were told your baby – who is now a toddler – was mixed up with another one at the hospital? That’s the question that triggers this layered four-part adaptation of JP Delaney’s psychological thriller. When struggling couple Pete (James Norton, who also executive produces) and Maddie (Niamh Algar) are given this dilemma, they agree to meet the other, affluent parents Miles (James McArdle) and Lucy (Jessica Brown Findlay). It seems as if everybody can deal with this – a little too well – by bringing both families together. But that, of course, is too good to be true. An absorbing watch, with twists that keep you gripped and asking: “What if?” Hollie Richardson
7/7: The London Bombings
9pm, BBC Two
On 7 July 2005, London commuters were excited to read the news about the Olympics win. At 8.49am, the first of four bombs on public transport exploded; and collectively they killed 52 people and injured more than 700. The testimonies of survivors are used alongside forensic footage and evidence in this four-part series to tell the terrifying story of what happened that day (“The huge white light was in front of my eyes”), and the repercussions that are still felt today.

7.45pm, Channel 4
The return of the series in which Siobhán McSweeney and judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller put 12 more home-potters (including a punk turned birder) through their paces. First: a salad set challenge (“I don’t like salad – can I fill it with popcorn instead?”). Ali Catterall
Call the Midwife
8pm, BBC One
It’s 1970 in Poplar, and while social attitudes are progressing, the reaction to a young teen pregnancy and the board of health’s “declared” war on Nonnatus House prove there’s still far to go. There are reasons to celebrate, though: Trixie (Helen George) is back from New York, the nurses’ campaign for fairer pay works and romance blossoms. HR
SAS Rogue Heroes
9pm, BBC One
Steven Knight’s rollicking SAS origin story continues.

Meanwhile, prisoner of war David Stirling (Connor Swindells) plots his escape from a vertiginous fortress in the north. Graeme Virtue
