Prue and Danny’s Death Road Trip

9pm, Channel 4

“I wish all it took was a crumpet to make him agree with me.” Prue Leith is for assisted dying, while her son Danny Kruger – a Conservative MP – stands against UK legalisation. In this thoughtful film, they hear both sides of the story, visiting people in places where it’s legalised, including a woman whose parents chose to die together. Hollie Richardson

Dragons’ Den

8pm, BBC One

Ethical and environmental businesses have been to the fore this year, and now the Dragons are faced by a sustainable clothing entrepreneur whose pitch has a recycled vibe to it: it’s their second appearance on the show. Elsewhere, the tycoons chew over mushroom snacks, and portable toilets for children. Jack Seale

8pm, Channel 4

Breeds and barking aplenty, this trip to The Dog House will appease even the most fanatical canine zealot. In a heartwarming tale, spaniel Lottie finally experiences life outside the puppy farm. Meanwhile, a storm encroaches as Hurricane the husky meets lurcher puppy Peaches. Danielle De Wolfe

Hair? Cracking. Heir? Lacking. That about sums up Marie’s precarious position in 1780 as the revisionist historical drama wraps up its first season. A looming naval conflict with England threatens the usual Versailles horseplay but even dopey King Louis senses danger when a sexy Swedish count swoops in. Graeme Virtue

Cold Case Forensics: The Murder of Stephen Lawrence

9pm, ITV1

In the final part of this fascinating series, top forensic scientist Dr Angela Gallop focuses on the killing of Stephen Lawrence in south-east London in 1993, schooling viewers in how clothing fibres can be transferred at a crime scene. Watching Gallop working with detective Clive Driscoll to bring the killers to justice is bittersweet. Hannah Verdier

Funny Woman

9pm, Sky Max

Barbara AKA Sophie (the wonderful Gemma Arterton) is on the verge of getting her big break on a TV sitcom. How will her northern kookiness go down with the Oxbridge male writers? First, she will have to find her way out of the broom cupboard she walks into at the audition. HR
