Endeavour
8pm, ITV1
The Inspector Morse prequel is back for its final three-part series – with Morse (Shaun Evans) out of rehab and back to solving Oxford crimes while insisting to everyone who asks how he is (pretty much the whole cast) that he’s OK. It starts with a stiff found in one of the college gardens, which suspiciously coincides with the homecoming of the Oxford Concert Orchestra. Meanwhile, fans begin to see how Morse parts ways with crime-solving partner Fred Thursday (Roger Allam). Hollie Richardson
Dinosaur With Stephen Fry
7pm, Channel 5
Dinosaur tour guide Fry ushers us towards the late Cretaceous period to finally meet the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex – and there’s more emphasis on the science, and on putting dinosaurs in context for the uninitiated, than there is on the CGI. We learn about T rex’s sense organs, and whether it could have chewed through a brick. Micha Frazer-Carroll
The Great Pottery Throw Down
7.45pm, Channel 4
As they head into the quarter-final of the crockery competition, the last five potters are tasked with creating an abstract coffee set. The second challenge: throwing high-footed rice bowls. Stamina is exactly what’s needed to whittle our potters down for the semi-final. MFC
Call the Midwife
8pm, BBC One
This week’s episode is a real heartbreaker – and that’s saying something. On the one hand, everyone is in high spirits as they prepare for Trixie’s wedding day, apart from Sister Monica Joan who might not be well enough to do her reading on the big day. But elsewhere, a tragedy forces Dr Turner and Sister Bernadette to make a brutal decision. HR
The Gold
9pm, BBC One
Another stealthy episode in which every scene is a polished mini-drama powered by the toxicity of money. While the Brink’s-Mat robbers try to melt and cash in on their bullion, Hugh Bonneville’s cops play a delicate game of trying to gather evidence without being detected. It doesn’t quite go according to plan. Jack Seale
Go Hard Or Go Home
9pm, BBC Three
Following last week’s tricky first challenge, will anyone accept host Jordan North’s offer to quit early, take the £1,000 on offer and run? Those who stay will need to pair up with their Warriors again to do a lot of running with planks of wood for the next exhausting task. HR
Film choice
Chariots of Fire, 5pm, BBC Two
A film telling the story of British sprinters Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross) and Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson) and their route to the 1924 Paris Olympics could have descended into nationalistic tubthumping. Vangelis’s anthemic score, the Cambridge University scenes and the many slow-motion shots of Brits in sporting action show Hugh Hudson’s rousing drama is a little in love with all the pomp and circumstance. But there is antisemitism, class snobbery and jingoism here as well. Simon Wardell
Mud, 11.10pm, BBC One
Jeff Nichols’s perceptive coming-of-age yarn is set on the banks of the Mississippi, and has a real feel for the landscape and the river folk who inhabit it. There’s a whiff of Huckleberry Finn in the story of 14-year-old best friends Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland), whose aquatic explorations lead them to Matthew McConaughey’s Mud, a killer on the run hiding out on an island. Convinced by his story of amour fou involving Reese Witherspoon’s Juniper, the boys resolve to help him flee. A leisurely thriller of youthful idealism muddied by grownup emotions. SW
