Burden of Proof: Who Killed Jennifer Pandos?

9pm, Sky Documentaries

“I reached out to my attorney about whether I could sue my parents for the death of my sister.” Stephen Pandos is still questioning everything about his sister Jennifer’s disappearance in 1987. This intense four-part series follows him as he continues to try to find the truth, involving conversations with the parents he accused. Hollie Richardson

Time

9pm, BBC One

Jimmy McGovern’s brilliant prison drama jumps to six months later with Orla (Jodie Whittaker) landing back in the nick with former cellmates heavily pregnant Kelsey (Bella Ramsey) and vengeful Abi (Tamara Lawrance). But each time a sense of hope, community and friendship provides some sort of comfort, the harsh and violent reminders of where they are slice through. HR

Planet Earth III

6.15pm, BBC One

If only male humans put as much effort into attracting a mate as the all-dancing male spotted bowerbird (“How could any female resist?”) Also hoping to impress the ladies in David Attenborough’s mind-blowing nature series is the saiga antelope, by swinging its big, wobbly nose around – “the bigger it is, the better,” says Attenborough.

William Shakespeare is at the heart of all British cultural life, of course, but as revealed in this charming programme, Judi Dench’s relationship with the bard really is something special. She tells John Wilson about a life lived through his plays, from her 1957 professional debut as Ophelia to her final appearance in A Winter’s Tale. Ellen E Jones

Three Little Birds

8pm, ITV1

Lenny Henry’s Windrush drama continues with sisters Leah and Chantrelle still adjusting to life in overcast 1950s Dudley (sunny Jamaica is glimpsed in flashbacks). A night at the pictures stirs up Leah’s emotions while poor Chantrelle – who dreams of being up on the screen – feels even more trapped by her nannying job. Graeme Virtue

Six Four

9pm, ITV1

While Six Four has never felt particularly mould-breaking, it has deployed the conventions of the crime drama to excellent, consistently nerve-jangling effect. In this penultimate episode, the dangerous consequences of Michelle’s secrets start to become clear. Meanwhile, Annabel has a panicky and intense standoff with her captor. Phil Harrison
