Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue

US authorities in Mexico demand answers about Flight CBZ517: Was the plane legitimate?

Romesh Ranganathan’s parents’ evening

At 9.35pm on ITV1

Her son’s name may be in the title, but Shanthi Ranganathan is the MVP of this comedy game, often besting Romesh as she tallies the scores.

The intruder

9.45pm, BBC 4

It’s the second and final double bill of France’s most fascinating psychological thriller about a scheming babysitter. Paula is arrested for the murder of her neighbor Allen – and the fact that Paula was having an affair with Allen’s husband is not cool. But she insists that Tess – who is still looking after her children in her home – is the real culprit. Human resources

Movie choices

The Twits, available now on Netflix

The first animated film resulting from Netflix’s purchase of Roald Dahl’s back catalog takes the book’s cruel, disgusting, joking couple and pits them against a group of resourceful American kids. Margo Martindale and Johnny Vegas voice Mr. and Mrs. Tweet, whose dream of opening an amusement park falls in love with Bisha Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the dean of the local orphanage. There’s plenty of belching and farting – and the odd exploding bottom – to remind you of Dahl’s penchant for earthy physical comedy, before hugging and learning. Simon Wardle

The List, 9pm, Channel 4

Revenge is a dish best served with potato confit and juicy beef. Fortunately, Chef Julian Slowick (a steely Ralph Fiennes) is an esteemed master of fine dining. Unfortunately, the 12 guests chosen to join him for a meal on his private island all have dark deeds in their past for which Slowick will punish them. Anya Taylor-Joy plays the cuckoo-in-the-nest, Margot, who is Tyler’s (Nicholas Hoult) gourmand gourmand girlfriend but is not what she appears. Mark Mylod’s dark comedy-drama is a brilliant mix – from elaborate food to mounting fear as diners see what the next course brings. Southwest
