Miriam and Alan: Lost in Scotland and Beyond

9.15pm, Channel 4

“I bet you sometimes wish I was Joanna Lumley,” Miriam Margolyes taunts her travel companion Alan Cumming, moments after threatening a fart. In the welcome return of their road trip series – which promises to go “beyond” Scotland in later episodes – the duo board the Harry Potter train to Fort William, then clamber into their camper van to explore the Cairngorms where they get very close to a reindeer. Later, they head to Dundee Rep Theatre and meet Alan’s fellow Scot, Succession actor Brian Cox. Hollie Richardson

Storyville: A House Made of Splinters

9.30pm, BBC Four

Before the Russian invasion, cameras were allowed into an orphanage in the east of Ukraine. The tragedy here isn’t that the children are orphans, but that they’re not – many have been taken in because of poverty, their parents’ alcohol problems and violence. Watching them trying to call their mums or snatch a moment of interaction is heartbreaking. Hannah Verdier

Industry

10.40pm, BBC One

Harper, Eric and Rishi know their time is up at Pierpoint and hatch plans to jump ship before their bosses catch on. Venetia makes a disruptive intervention at a client’s dinner and Gus tries to employ his networking magic at Oxford. SG
