Dope Girls
9.15pm, BBC One
It is an exciting time for Kate (Julianne Nicholson) and Billie (Umi Myers) as they prepare to open their club. But they’re about to learn a memorable lesson about the consequences of upsetting Italian crime families. Meanwhile, Violet (the excellent livewire Eliza Scanlen) goes even deeper undercover. Very watchable without ever quite being more than the sum of its parts. Phil Harrison
Crufts 2025
2pm, Channel 4
The more the terrier: live coverage from the biggest dog show in the world continues with hounds hoping to get within sniffing distance of the Best in Show prize. The quarter-finals feature the headlong flyball team relay, and from 7pm the sessions include Heelwork to Music (AKA “doggy dancing”). Graeme Virtue
Gladiators
7pm, BBC One
Another quarter-final kicks off with supply teacher Aneila, who wants to inspire Muslim girls, and gym owner Maddie, who climbed the Wall in an astonishing 26 seconds. Then it’s gymnastics coach Joe, who broke the Eliminator record, and engineer Lewis, who earned his place as the fastest runner-up. Meanwhile, Viper has escaped into the audience. Hollie Richardson
Portugal With Michael Portillo
8.15pm, Channel 5
M-Portz gallivants merrily on, with the second leg of his latest jolly taking him to Ponte de Lima and Braga. In the former he is met with boisterous folk dancing and the famous white wine, vinho verde; in the latter, he samples salted cod, travels on a funicular railway and witnesses a belly-dancing revival. Jack Seale
Harry & Meghan’s American Nightmare
9.15pm, Channel 5
When the Sussexes moved to the US in June 2020, they were welcomed with open arms and a bouquet of lucrative media contracts. Since then, deals have collapsed and Trump has even threatened to have them deported. So has America really turned on Harry and Meghan? Or is it all just a big misunderstanding? Ellen E Jones
The Jonathan Ross Show
9.20pm, ITV1
More unctuous chat from Jonathan Ross, who this week is welcoming Time Lord turned Toxic Town star Jodie Whittaker, actor-director Ashley Walters, comic actor and writer Daisy May Cooper and the recently and movingly Bafta-garlanded Warwick Davis. There’s also music from bass-heavy London rockers Nova Twins. PH

Blood for Dust, 11.15am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Hangdog travelling salesman Cliff (Scoot McNairy) is struggling to get by when he bumps into ex-colleague Ricky (a smirking Kit Harington), his partner in an embezzlement scam at their old firm. Ricky offers him a simple job, driving drugs and guns from A to B – but, inevitably, there’s nothing straightforward about it. Rod Blackhurst’s foreboding thriller – all deadbeat motels and snowbound Montana roads – has pleasing echoes of Fargo, with Cliff finding reserves of cunning and stamina as his options narrow.

Cliffhanger, 9pm, 5Action
Sylvester Stallone is nobody’s idea of an elite rock climber – those biceps would just get in the way – but suspension of disbelief is at the heart of Renny Harlin’s precipitately enjoyable 1993 action thriller. Sly plays a former Rockies mountain rescuer who falls foul of bank robbers in search of suitcases full of loot lost from a crashed plane, with his outdoors expertise helping him to escape their clutches. Kudos to the stunt performers for the vertiginous climbing, jumping and falling, and to John Lithgow for adding a touch of class as the big baddy. SW
