The Responder
9pm, BBC One
Martin Freeman returns as troubled, dodgy night-response officer Chris Carson in Tony Schumacher’s gritty Liverpool crime drama. Six months after the murder of drug dealer Carl Sweeney, Chris is now in group therapy to help deal with the job’s traumas – and he’s ready to go straight. Wishful thinking! When DI Barnes (Amaka Okafor) tricks him into conducting a dodgy car stop, he is dragged into a drug war between two of the city’s top dealers. And then there’s all the trouble at home … Hollie Richardson
Our Welsh Chapel Dream
8pm, Channel 4
Keith Brymer Jones, the Great Pottery Throw Down judge who famously bursts into tears at the sight of a well-turned pot, embarks on his own reality TV adventure, as he and his partner Marj renovate a 160-year-old derelict chapel in Pwllheli, Gwynedd. Upon arrival, their first task is to evict the current inhabitants: pigeons. Jack Seale
The Piano
9pm, Channel 4
Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Lang Lang head to Cardiff Central Station in search of more sob stories – and some talented amateur pianists. Hitting the keys this week: a set of triplets, a man with a song about conkers and an angelic Welsh performance that reduces everyone to tears. HR
I Kissed a Girl
9pm, BBC Three
At a sun-drenched “masseria” in Italy, 10 women are seeking love by the pool, in a follow-up to last year’s all-male dating show. Dannii Minogue is back to host and, as before, it all starts with a kiss: no small talk, no hand-holding – just straight in for a smooch. Ellen E Jones
The Incredibly Talented Lucy
10.05pm, Channel 4
“Lucy makes you completely rethink how the brain works … and how the heart works.” Two remarkable stories are told in this tearjerking documentary, as it follows last year’s 13-year-old winner of The Piano, Lucy – who is completely blind and has a chromosome 16 duplication – and her devoted teacher, Daniel, as they prepare to play at King Charles’s coronation.

Passover UK: A Jewish Journey
10.20pm, ITV1
Passover is a time for reflection for Jewish people, marking as it does the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. In this documentary, Sam Holder joins Jewish families across the UK as they gather for eight days of celebration, beginning with the traditional Seder feast. Along the way, he reflects on life for Jewish people in Britain in 2024. Phil Harrison
Film choice
Senna, 11.20pm, Channel 4
The charismatic, risk-taking Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna may be an obvious subject for a documentary, but Asif Kapadia’s film is probably the definitive take on his life – and death. Contemporary and new interviews, and lots of in-car and behind-the-pit-lane footage, reveal a man pushing himself to the limit season after season. The rivalry with Alain Prost – a more political operator known as the Professor – is spicy and dramatic, while Senna’s role as an idol (or opiate) for Brazil’s impoverished masses gives him a wider relevance than just sport. Fascinating and tragic. Simon Wardell
