As Trixie (Helen George) stands up to the Board of Health\u2019s threatening new rules, newly qualified midwife Sister Catherine (Molly Vevers) is thrown in at the deep end with a patient who can\u2019t stop vomiting. Meanwhile, it\u2019s the Poplar women\u2019s liberation march! Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>The Floor<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">7pm, ITV1<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">There are 73 contestants still standing on Rob Brydon\u2019s flashing floor \u2013 and they\u2019re all fighting to win more squares and make it to the final. Players will go head to head in quickfire question rounds in a bid to get closer to that \u00a350,000 cash prize. HR<\/p>\n<p>The Great Pottery Throw Down<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">7.45pm, Channel 4<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The potters are seeing double this week, as they\u2019re tasked with making a pair of bookends (designs range from two halves of an avocado to a homage to Persian architecture). As ever, TGPTD remains irresistible, and \u2013 thanks to frequently teary-eyed judge Keith Brymer Jones \u2013 an emotional affair.

Photograph: BBC\/Ink Factory\/Des Willie<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Undercover Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) has seemingly gained the trust of Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva) \u2013 and all it took was hoovering up his drugs and nearly drowning in his swimming pool. Will he be able to find proof of the supervillain being in cahoots with British intelligence? HR<\/p>\n<p>The Million Pound Shaman Scam<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">This true-crime two-parter has been re-examining the notorious case of faith-healing fraudster Juliette D\u2019Souza, who extracted vast sums from her Hampstead neighbours for more than a decade by claiming to have access to Amazonian shamans. In the concluding episode, her swindled victims seek justice. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n<p>Red Eye<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, ITV1<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Assassin Fox (Tom Forbes) turns a grounded flight into a battleground. Before long, there\u2019s surgery on a makeshift kitchen table to save an agent\u2019s life, as crucial evidence reaches Thames House and Hana and Brody set a trap. Then Fox strikes again with his boldest murder yet \u2013 revealing the shadowy mastermind pulling the strings.

Photograph: Everett Collection Inc\/Alamy<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Their previous collaboration, The Killing of Two Lovers, was suffused with barely suppressed menace. Director Robert Machoian and actor Clayne Crawford\u2019s latest is equally unsettling, as Crawford\u2019s inexperienced deer hunter heads into the woods solo for the first time \u2013 and bad things happen. Like a Raymond Carver story or the films of Kelly Reichardt, it\u2019s a painfully perceptive tale of an ordinary man placed in an extraordinary position he just can\u2019t handle, and a takedown of trite masculinity.
