Hacks
9pm, Sky Max
Season four of the hit comedy arrives, and Deborah (Jean Smart) has the late-night hosting gig with Ava (Hannah Einbinder) as her head writer. Except it didn’t happen that easily – Ava had to use blackmail. Can they get the job done? With Deborah calling Ava the C-word “in that angry boomer way” and stitching her up by posting her “dirty panties” to new colleagues, that’s not likely. It’s all the better for our entertainment, though, and we’re rooting for them to pull this off. Hollie Richardson

Detectives Goodman and Williams (Kris Marshall and Zahra Ahmadi) investigate a case that suffers from a short list of suspects, but recovers with a neat howdunnit. Jack Seale
Gardeners’ World
8pm, BBC Two

Elsewhere, Rachel de Thame meets a magnolia grower, and Advolly Richmond visits Surrey landscape garden Painshill. Ali Catterall

Black Snow
9pm, BBC Two
