See No Evil
9pm, Channel 4
This devastating two-part documentary details the crimes of John Smyth, a barrister involved in conservative evangelical Christian camps. Over the course of four decades, Smyth subjected more than 100 boys to horrific sexual and physical abuse. Why wasn’t he stopped? Witnesses, including his victims and his own children, speak about life in close proximity to this monstrous man – and about the cover-up that meant he never faced justice. Phil Harrison
Grand Designs: House of the Year
8pm, Channel 4
Tonight we find out who has won Riba’s House of the Year 2025. But before the grand reveal, Kevin, Damion and Natasha walk us through more stunning properties, including a bungalow that’s “part house, part hedgehog” and a gorgeously souped-up “cowshed made livable.” Ali Catterall
Winter on the Farm
8pm, Channel 5
Warm good humour counteracts the frosty soil as Helen Skelton, Jules Hudson and JB Gill return to Cannon Hall farm in South Yorkshire for a three-parter. This week there are new goats to welcome and Highland cattle to prep for an end-of-year show in Carlisle. Plus, the odd hearty seasonal recipe. Jack Seale
Shetland
9pm, BBC One
It’s the conclusion of another season of dark deeds and delightful scenery, and Ashley Jensen’s DI Calder has woken up with a hangover and new information about Eadie Tulloch’s murder. However, extracting a confession from their suspect proves tricky, even before shocking revelations about the area’s hidden past. PH

Saving Mum: Our Family Secret
11.10pm, Channel 4
Many people have complex relationships with their mothers; not so many would choose to address them via an ayahuasca ceremony. But that decision is at the heart of Maleena Pone’s film as she explores a legacy characterised by grief, silence and alcoholism, and looks to break the cycle. PH
Film choice
Lost in Translation, (Sofia Coppola, 2003), 10am, Sky Cinema Greats
Despite its sometimes stereotypical treatment of Japan, Sofia Coppola’s film is a sweet romantic drama tinged with melancholy. Film star Bob (Bill Murray) is in Tokyo to shoot a whiskey commercial; Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) is idling by herself while her photographer husband works. Meeting in their hotel bar, they recognise kindred lost souls and team up to immerse themselves in a civilisation largely alien to them. Basically, it’s Brief Encounter with added karaoke, sushi and miscommunication. Simon Wardell
