TV tonight: Philomena Cunk is back – and taking on Hollywood

Translate

10pm, BBC Two
Diane Morgan’s stealthy ascent to national treasure status has been supercharged by her brilliant comedy Ann Droid. And now she returns to the faux-bewildered world of Philomena Cunk. “For centuries, eyes were useless,” Cunk states. “Because there was nothing worth looking at.” So begins a film history lesson that incorporates comic misinformation and contributions from the likes of Mark Cousins and Benedict Cumberbatch – who are surely in on the joke?

Aldi: The Next Big Seller

8pm, Channel 4
Like Dragon’s Den for foodies: six teams compete to win the chance to become suppliers to Aldi.

Shetland

9pm, BBC One
This sturdy drama returns for an 11th series and we’re plunged into the action as a car is pulled from the water. When the boot is opened, it becomes a matter for detectives Calder and Tosh (Ashley Jensen and Alison O’Donnell). Gripping in its customary downbeat way. PH

The deliciously enjoyable saga swaggers into the 90s, amid a blizzard of Britpop and TV deals. While Marco and former protege Gordon go to war, a whiz-kid called Heston neatly undercuts them both, bringing chemistry kits into the kitchen. “I wasn’t trying to break the rules,” he murmurs, “I just learned to question them.” Ali Catterall

The Good Daughter

9pm, Sky Atlantic
This involving thriller is a grim story of modern America (gun crime, police brutality, traumatised kids), told via the emotional trajectory of a family. Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne star as Charlotte and Samantha, sisters still scarred by a violent childhood event as a present-day horror plunges them into their past. PH

AI: Probably Nothing to Worry About

10pm, Channel 4
The wild thing about the rise of AI is that sci-fi writers have been predicting it for decades, yet everyone seems amazed by the reality. This fascinating, sprawling two-and-a-half-hour documentary attempts to make sense of humanity’s scourge/saviour with contributions from two of AI’s pioneers, Geoffrey Hinton and Demis Hassabis. PH
