💡 Main takeaway:
Daisy May and Charlie Cooper NightWatch
At 9.30pm on BBC Two
Daisy May Cooper was late to meet her brother Charlie – she was busy stocking up in a crystal shop, before they set off on a tour of the UK’s spookiest places. They began by staying in Gloucester Prison, in a room where nine prisoners witnessed hanging from a long gallows. Fortunately, Daisy has a baseball bat to hit the ghoul with. But the real fun is the funny couple reminiscing. Holly Richardson
Guy Martin: The British train that changed the world
7.30pm on Channel 4
This one time, Martin – with unwavering enthusiasm and unwavering sideburns – helps restore a replica of a pioneer train from 1825. But with technical problems and, at some point, a soot-streaked face to contend with, will he be able to move after all? Hannah J. Davis
BBC Cardiff Diva of the World: A Celebration Concert
7.30pm, BBC4
Acclaimed soprano Danielle de Nys and Broadcast Band Director Gareth Malone are hosting a special concert with past winners and finalists of BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales will accompany performances including arias by Mozart, Verdi and Puccini. Human resources
Riot women
9pm, BBC One
Come for the punk, stay for Tamsin Greig’s wonderful – if slightly depressing – monologue as former police station brass Holly. Elsewhere in Sally Wainwright’s tumultuous drama, the rest of the band experiment with lyrics, and Kitty’s big secret is revealed. Human resources
Trigger point
9pm on ITV1
It gets a lot of mileage out of scenes in which a bomb may or may not go off for a long time, but this Vicky McClure vehicle remains a solid crime thriller as the third season opens. Explosives-triggered Lana (McClure), full of painkillers and PTSD, encounters a vehicle bomb and a plan far more diabolical than it seems. Jack Seale
alive
10pm Sky Max
This surprisingly grounded horror drama about corpses coming back to life in rural Wisconsin benefits from a prickly central performance from Melanie Scrofano as an uptight sheriff’s deputy. This week, the ongoing investigation into Dana’s murder brings her into the orbit of a local crime family with a strange fringe in popular art. Graeme Virtue
