Chimp Crazy
9pm, Sky Documentaries
Another utterly bizarre, troubling documentary series from Tiger King’s Eric Goode.

Scotland: The New Wild

An overfriendly lamb nuzzling a short-eared owl is just one of many heartwarming sights in this soothing series, originally produced for BBC Scotland.

Showtrial
9pm, BBC One
The first series of this courtroom thriller by the Line of Duty producers may not have wowed audiences, but this one tells a whole new knotty story. When a high-profile climate activist is left for dead in a hit and run, his last words are: “I know who did it … the driver was a police officer.” That accused officer is cocky Justin Mitchell (Michael Socha) who asks anxious defence solicitor Sam Malik (Adeel Akhtar) for help. But is someone who Googles “find a therapist” at work his strongest option? HR
Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing
9pm, BBC Two

Restore Point, 8.05am, 10.25pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Essentially “what if Blade Runner, but central Europe?”, Restore Point is a tremendous Czech sci-fi from first-time director Robert Hloz. In the near future, citizens are granted the right to be brought back to life in the event of violent unnatural death, provided they have been diligent about backing up the data from their brain. But questions remain, primarily why the man who developed the technology refuses to back up his own mental data. Restore Point is visually stunning and, in the age of big tech, extremely relevant.
