The Other Bennet Sister<\/p>\n
Sunday, 8pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be poor and handsome is misfortune enough; but to be penniless and plain is a hard fate indeed.\u201d While the current Austen-mania is in danger of creating fatigue (this is one of three big new dramas pegged to the author\u2019s 250th anniversary), here\u2019s a sparky reimagining of Pride & Prejudice told from studious, overlooked sister Mary\u2019s perspective. Based on Janice Hadlow\u2019s novel of the same name, Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) falls for an optician who her mother (a very snippy Ruth Jones) deems too lowly for the Bennet family. Will Mary ever find joy away from her sisters? And the courage to find herself? Cue her journey to becoming \u201cthe intellectual one\u201d. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
The Capture<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
Did the real gunman really just walk into the heart of the counter-terrorism unit? At the end of last week\u2019s opener of this terrifyingly close-to-the-bone deepfake thriller, Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) thought the man she just saw shoot dead the home secretary was standing in front of her \u2013 but will anyone believe her? And has she got it wrong? HR<\/p>\n
Tusker: Brotherhood of Elephants<\/p>\n
5pm, Sky Nature<\/p>\n
This charming film was shot at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro and follows a trio of elephants with disarmingly human names and oddly relatable habits. Craig, Pascal and Esau are at different stages of life and each embodies different truths about their world. From survival to breeding and playfulness, these huge beasts are surprisingly complex.

Gone<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1<\/p>\n
To further fox us as we try to guess whether Michael (David Morrissey), the chief suspect and husband of the deceased, is actually guilty, the febrile crime drama introduces a second, arrogantly unhelpful middle-aged man who might have done it. Then convenient CCTV and some inexplicable supporting-character behaviour keep the pot stirred. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

The irresistibly fun comedy-drama about five Black teenagers at an elite boarding school returns for a final run. With A-levels looming, Femi (Aruna Jalloh) is distracted by a new crush, while Leah (Jodie Campbell) has the opposite problem, as she wriggles out of her situationship with Xiang (Zheng Xi Yong).

Oscars Live<\/p>\n
10.15pm, ITV1<\/p>\n
Time to roll out the red carpet! Ryan Coogler\u2019s vampire epic Sinners is the first film in history to earn 16 Oscar nominations. But the competition is stiff with Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s counterculture caper One Battle After Another and its 13 noms. Jonathan Ross is our host. HR<\/p>\n

Although Ridley Scott\u2019s output has been hit-and-miss in recent decades, his 2015 sci-fi movie is up there with his best work. The always engaging Matt Damon is astronaut Mark, who is stranded alone on Mars after a Nasa mission goes wrong. He has four years until possible rescue, but not enough resources to survive. The solution? \u201cI\u2019m going to have to science the shit out of this.\u201d In essence, this is a space procedural, where the technical problems Mark faces provide all the drama you need. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n
The Son, 11pm, Channel 4<\/p>\n
The last in Florian Zeller\u2019s trilogy of plays (after The Mother and The Father) gets the screen treatment. It\u2019s a more straightforward take on family strife than the earlier two, though the emotional turbulence is just as acute. Hugh Jackman plays Peter \u2013 father to teenager Nicholas (Zen McGrath), divorced from Laura Dern\u2019s Kate and now married to Beth (Vanessa Kirby) with a new baby. Nicholas is showing signs of depression so Peter lets him come to stay. But, as a doctor says, \u201clove is not enough\u201d and Peter \u2013 who has a fractured relationship with his own dad \u2013 doesn\u2019t have the tools to deal with a mental health crisis.
