Babies<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC One
In Stefan Golaszewski\u2019s new six-part drama, Siobh\u00e1n Cullen (The Dry) and Paapa Essiedu (The Capture) are achingly convincing as Lisa and Stephen, an ordinary London couple in their 30s trying to have a baby. The pair navigate the rollercoaster of pregnancy, loss and grief more than once, as they continue to get through life\u2019s mundanities and special little moments. Meanwhile, Charlotte Riley and Jack Bannon play Amanda and Dave, a seemingly oddball new couple who Lisa and Stephen catch up with over dinner. But as the series plays out, and there are more surprise pregnancies and revelations, these friendships are tested. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n

Hunting the Silver Killer<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1
In 1996 and 1999, two couples were found dead in their beds in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Ruled as murder-suicides, the cases bore striking similarities. Could a serial killer have been responsible, rather than the husbands? Two former senior coroner\u2019s officers, with decades-long doubts about the murders, make the case that there was a miscarriage of justice. Micha Frazer-Carroll<\/p>\n

Is an ever-evasive Carol \u201ccapable of murdering her husband for money?\u201d Plumb and Homer certainly seem to be uncovering a growing body of evidence, in a storyline as increasingly twisted as Floyd\u2019s penis. Meanwhile, Clark agrees to obtain a risky drug for Floyd, who hopes it will help him get it on with his wife. Ali Catterall<\/p>\n

10pm, Sky One
Steve Carell plays his usual awkwardly likeable character in this Bill Lawrence dramedy, which sees a famous writer working at the same college as his grownup daughter. It\u2019s trademark Lawrence \u2013 deeply human insights meets cringe-inducing comedy \u2013 with an excellent cast (including Danielle Deadwyler), beautiful cinematography and a great 80s soundtrack.
