Bilingual dialogue! Sharp suits! Beautiful landscapes! Yes, Shetland meets CSI in this French-Canadian police procedural about disgraced cop Donny \u201cFitz\u201d Fitzpatrick (Allan Hawco), who gets reassigned to the small island after a personal arrest goes embarrassingly viral. But will his bumbling demeanour work on his new partner, the no-nonsense Genevi\u00e8ve \u201cArch\u201d Archambaul (Jos\u00e9phine Jobert)? Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
Making a Maestro<\/p>\n
8pm, Sky Arts
A wonderful insight into what conductors actually do, as the Donatella Flick LSO Conducting Competition looks for its next winner. One of the 20 young hopefuls followed here will gain, as Flick describes it, a \u201cpassport for the rest of their career\u201d. As they conduct two pieces each \u2013 Handel and Schubert \u2013 it\u2019s even more stressful than watching T\u00e1r. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
Michael Jackson: An American Tragedy<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC Two
The final part of this dispiriting documentary focuses on the last six years of Jackson\u2019s life as he grappled with yet more financial, legal and reputational crises. Being charged with child molestation in 2003 triggered the most sensational US trial since OJ Simpson: a \u201cthree-ring circus of bizarre\u201d, as one witness puts it. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n

Perry winds up his two-part tour in San Francisco to meet people at the heart of the tech industry: designers creating robots that help autistic children; a twentysomething multimillionaire developer who still lives with his parents; and AI \u201chead honch\u201d, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark. As always, Grayson is open-minded and insightful. Lucinda Everett<\/p>\n
The \u2019Burbs<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky One
A few possible answers this week as this solid but slightly superfluous reboot of the 80s comic horror continues. Rob and Naveen are under suspicion, but could the roots of their odd behaviour be sadness rather than badness? Meanwhile, Lynn has an alarming experience with some sleeping pills. What is Samira up to? PH<\/p>\n
Twenty Twenty Six<\/p>\n
10pm, BBC Two
Things change; things stay the same. Ian Fletcher is forever flustered, Will is still Will, only more so. But since 2012, we\u2019ve had to get our heads around Zoom (cue mishaps with a David Beckham virtual meeting) and the correct way to address non-binary online activists. Can Fletcher\u2019s team placate the environmental podcast Call This Shit Out? Ali Catterall<\/p>\n

A key work from Steve Martin\u2019s 1980s heyday, this homage to\/spoof of 50s sci-fi movies is a kitchen sink\u2019s worth of sight gags and wordplay. Martin is in typically manic mode as groundbreaking brain surgeon Michael Hfuhruhurr (\u201cIt sounds just the way it\u2019s spelt\u201d) who marries Kathleen Turner\u2019s gloriously venal, libidinous femme fatale Dolores. But then he falls for the disembodied but still living brain of Anne Uumellmahaye \u2013 an uncredited Sissy Spacek.
