Curb Your Enthusiasm

9pm, Sky Comedy

Is Larry David finally done with “Larry David”? His semi-autobiographical and mostly unscripted sitcom, built on surliness, pedantry and perceived slights in everyday life, has been going since 2000; this season, the 12th, has been billed as the last. If it really is the end of the road, Larry is as heroically dyspeptic as ever: volcanically blowing up at Siri; effortlessly alienating a hotel maid; and promising unwisely to be “cordial” during a paid meet-and-greet in Atlanta. Graeme Virtue

Silent Witness

9pm, BBC One

A tattooed Burmese national is found dead on a deserted beach, impaled on a post. An accident, or something more sinister? Meanwhile, a down-at-heel journalist tries to resurrect his career on the back of the story – and the Silent Witness team are monitored by the Home Office to see if they are eligible for additional funding. Ali Catterall

Putin vs the West: At War

9pm, BBC Two

Norma Percy’s brilliantly sourced and immaculately assembled current affairs series continues to explore the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This week, the UN secretary general, António Guterres, recalls his tense face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin, which took place against a backdrop of escalating violence on the ground. Phil Harrison

True Detective: Night Country

9pm, Sky Atlantic

Spirals in the snow lead Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Navarro (Kali Reis) deeper into their intertwining mysteries. What exactly happened at the Tsalal research station – and who killed Annie? Also, does this relate to season one’s Yellow King? And will Matthew McConaughey make a cameo? Ellen E Jones

Katherine Ryan: Parental Guidance

9pm, W

“Mum guilt” affects all mothers – including the bitingly funny Katherine Ryan. To better understand how others manage “the juggle”, she meets a specialist nanny, Brenda Hart, chats openly with the “fabulous child-free” comedian London Hughes and visits the Smith family, who are lucky enough to have all four grandparents take on childcare responsibilities. Kayleigh Dray

Our Flag Means Death

10pm, BBC Two

There was a huge outpouring of love for Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby’s warm-hearted pirate romcom after news of its cancellation last month, but here comes its second and last season to mend those broken hearts. Talking of which, Blackbeard has gone off the rails as he pines after Stede, who is so poor he has started working for the fabulous Spanish Jackie. Hannah Verdier
