The Fear Index
9pm, Sky Atlantic
This new four-part thriller, based on the Robert Harris novel, rolls groggily out of bed with an opener that could have conveyed the necessary plot information in a quarter of the time. Josh Hartnett, always careful not to overact, is scientist-turned-hedge-fund-genius Dr Alex Hoffman, whose new algorithm might be a step too far. Cue a plot to destroy the world’s financial markets. Jack Seale
The Apprentice
9pm, BBC One
The undersung joy of this reality TV classic is the moment when Alan Sugar pays an early-morning surprise call to the contestants and catches them scruffing about in their PJs. Expect to delight in the panic of sleep-crusted business goofs, before they try to profit off the rise in staycations. Alexi Duggins
Mary Beard’s Forbidden Art
9pm, BBC Two
Controversial profiled art tonight ranges from Otto Dix’s work (banned by the Nazis) and Derek Jarman’s paintings to Tyler Shields and Kathy Griffin’s “decapitated Trump” (it earned Griffin an FBI investigation). Beard explores a range of contested culture that has spoken truth to power, or conversely, been weaponised to serve political ends. Ali Catterall
Kate Garraway’s Life Stories
9pm, ITV

Who Killed Billie-Jo?
9pm, Channel 5
The 1997 murder of 13-year-old Billie-Jo Jenkins at her home in Hastings was a high-profile tragedy that became a national sensation when her foster father was charged, convicted, but then ultimately acquitted. This film re-examines the still unsolved case 25 years on, with contributions from police, lawyers and forensic scientists. Graeme Virtue
First Dates: Valentines
10pm, Channel 4
What fresh romance will be in the restaurant’s air tonight? Most notably, there’s a genuine hard luck story in the shape of 35-year-old Chris, who recently experienced the triple-whammy of redundancy, divorce and a heart attack. Surely a change of luck is overdue? PH
