Paralympics Closing Ceremony

6.30pm, Channel 4

That was an amazing summer of games, eh? Poppy Maskill, Tully Kearney and Hannah Cockroft are among the incredible Team GB athletes bringing home medals from the Paralympics. Sadly, it all comes to an end this week – but not without a final hurrah in Paris. Jean-Michel Jarre is set to headline a ceremony that celebrates French electronic music. Then it’s time to hand over to Los Angeles … Hollie Richardson

Grace

8pm, ITV1

Early-morning ramblers make a nasty discovery and Brighton’s finest, DSI Grace (John Simm), is called to the scene along with his trusty partner, DS Branson (Richie Campbell). When the postmortem suggests a bizarre dairy farm accident, the plot thickens like curd. But can they find the man in the dark suit before he strikes again? Ellen E Jones

New Music at the Proms 2024

8pm, BBC Four

The end-of-summer sorrow really is palpable, as the Proms wind down. Radio 3’s Tom Service picks some of the most exciting classical music premiered, including a jazzy brass extravaganza by Wynton Marsalis played by the Sinfonia of London. He’ll also be talking to the composers behind the magic. HR

Sherwood

9pm, BBC One

James Graham’s masterly drama, about the troubled past and difficult present of Nottingham, reaches its penultimate episode. As the community is hit by another burst of violence and a grand act of revenge looms, former cop and self-appointed pillar of the community Ian St Clair (David Morrissey) starts to put some old puzzle pieces together. Jack Seale

Mission to Burnley

9pm, Sky Documentaries

More fly-on-the-dressing-room-wall insights into Burnley FC’s ups and downs. Following a series of defeats, owner Alan Pace attempts to find ways to boost fan morale amid concerns about playing style and signings. Meanwhile, star striker Lyle Foster opens up about his mental health struggles, challenging the club to adapt. Ali Catterall

Joan Rivers at the BBC

10pm, BBC Four

It has been 10 years since scathing comedy legend Joan Rivers died, and Katherine Ryan is the unquestionable choice as host in this celebration of her razor-tongued one-liners and legacy. She rounds up Rivers’ most eye-popping clips on otherwise “safe” shows such as Wogan, as well as candid interviews that revealed the tragedy in her life. HR

Film choice

Joram, 2.10am, Channel 4

Devashish Makhija’s new Hindi-language film melds a chase thriller and a topical political drama to exhilarating effect – and throws in a baby for extra pathos. Mumbai construction worker Dasru (Manoj Bajpayee) is forced to go on the run with his three-month-old daughter, Joram, when his wife is killed by unknown assailants. He flees to his home state of Jharkhand, where he has a secret past as a tribal rebel, but the police and powerful local politician Phulo Karma (a superbly chilling Smita Tambe) are on his tail. Between tense pursuits, there is a real sense of a rural community succumbing to “progress” – mining, land grabs, corruption – and a traditional culture buckling under the strain. Simon Wardell

Source Code, 5.05pm, Great! Movies
A man wakes up on a commuter train into Chicago and has only eight minutes to find the bomb on board – and the bomber – before he’s thrown back in time to the start to try again … and again … and again. Jake Gyllenhaal is the US army helicopter pilot on a whodunnit mission, whose quantum physical explanation is less important than the thrill of the mystery. Director Duncan Jones keeps the action tight and the emotional payoffs – with Michelle Monaghan’s fellow passenger and Vera Farmiga’s remote handler – to the point. A great little movie. SW
