Everything I Know About Love
10.40pm, BBC One
Maggie (Emma Appleton) tells her best friend Birdy (Bel Powley) what she plans to wear on a first date: “Something quite understated … he’s so cool and I’m so not and he needs to not know what a try-hard I am.” Cut to her wrapped in a yellow faux-fur coat, pouting and singing to Nico while waving a cigarette around in her date’s flat. It’s one of oh-so-many relatable moments for millennial women who survived those first turbulent years in London. That’s exactly what this seven-part adaptation of Dolly Alderton’s memoir is: a reassuring, funny and frequently mortifying look back at the relationships that made us who we are – the most important being our friends. Hollie Richardson
We Own This City
9pm, Sky Atlantic
“If we lose the fight, we lose the streets – let that sink in,” Sgt Wayne Jenkins tells his new recruits at the start of this gritty and gobsmacking new drama, which chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore police department’s gun trace taskforce – and the corruption surrounding it. Developed by David Simon and George Pelecanos, this is one fans of The Wire won’t want to miss. HR

Lucy Worsley Investigates: Princes in the Tower
9pm, BBC Two
It has become the biggest mystery of the late middle ages; was Richard III really responsible for doing away with his nephews? Worsley is on the case, uncovering possible alibis and promising leads, amid the “cut-throat, kill-or-be-killed, Game of Thrones political culture of the 15th century”. Ali Catterall
State of the Union
10pm, BBC Two
In this tranche of 10-minute episodes, the “wokeflake” banter between Scott (Brendan Gleeson) and Ellen (Patricia Clarkson) finally dries up (did Scott himself write this script? No, it was Nick Hornby!), meaning the sixtysomething couple in crisis can start to get real. What’s a good enough reason to stay? Can sensational sex solve anything? Ellen E Jones
The Bridge: Race to a Fortune
10pm, Channel 4
The bizarre bridge-building reality show is back and it’s been supersized, swapping British lakes and James McAvoy voiceovers for Vietnam’s beaches and AJ Odudu’s Lancashire burr. Led by ex-Royal Marine commando Aldo Kane, 16 strangers split into rival teams have 12 days to capture a £200k prize – they just have to build a 1,000ft bridge across the South China Sea to claim it.

Film choice
Embrace of the Serpent, (Ciro Guerra, 2015), 1.35am, Film4
The search for a mythical plant in the Amazon rainforest is the hook on which Ciro Guerra hangs his beautiful but sombre meditation on the effects of colonialism. A canoe trip by a 1909 German explorer, Theo, and his Indigenous shaman guide Karamakate is traced 30 years later by an American botanist, Evan, who also meets Karamakate, now struggling with lost tribal memories. Their journeys take them past rubber plantations and Catholic missions, symbols of western greed and insolence. Simon Wardell
