Peaky Blinders
9pm, BBC One
Back for its final season, the haunting opening episode of Steven Knight’s gangster drama is dedicated to Helen McCrory, who sadly died last year. She played the Shelby matriarch, Aunt Polly, whose exit is handled delicately and beautifully (tears will fall), then leads the story to its next chapter. Four years after he put a gun to his own head when his plan to assassinate Oswald Mosley failed, Tommy (Cillian Murphy) is now up to his old tricks in post-prohibition America – but there’s more than one big change in him that might just shock fans. Look out for Anya Taylor-Joy’s love-to-hate Gina, too, who gets more airtime after the actor’s multiple award wins. Hollie Richardson
Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy
7.20pm, BBC Two
“The city is hot, fast and a feast for the senses.” Stanley Tucci – the irresistibly suave actor who made thousands of fans thirsty with his negroni-making videos during lockdown – could make a greasy spoon with a one-star hygiene rating sound like a sensual place to eat. But here he is in Naples to sample its fares as part of his six-part foodie tour of Italy. “You’ve changed my life,” he tells the woman who hands him a fried pizza – the greatest compliment a cook can receive.
