A Woman of Substance<\/p>\n
9pm, Channel 4
The rags-to-riches period drama continues with young Emma Harte (Jessica Reynolds) choosing a secret relationship with her employer\u2019s son, Edwin Fairley (Ewan Horrocks), over taking the chance to move to Leeds. It can\u2019t end well, though, as present-day Emma (Brenda Blethyn) still holds a grudge with the Fairleys. It continues on Thursday with Lenny Rush giving a heartbreaking performance as Emma\u2019s brother. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
The Marlow Murder Club<\/p>\n
8pm, U&Drama
When the much-beloved mayor of Marlow drops dead in the middle of a town council meeting, everyone present is a suspect. It\u2019s the perfect locked-room mystery to challenge DS Tanika Malik\u2019s now established crime-solving team, and the perfect series three opener for this cosy crime show. Ellen E Jones<\/p>\n

\u201cThis painting doesn\u2019t make any sense whatsoever.\u201d James Payne is an art historian who helps to tell the story of Edvard Munch\u2019s The Scream, as part of a series that takes a closer look at well-known paintings. Perhaps Munch\u2019s experience of his father\u2019s depression, mother\u2019s death and sister\u2019s schizophrenia can explain the unsettling image. HR<\/p>\n
Hostage<\/p>\n

The Stolen Girl<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1
Was it wise \u2013 or even ethical \u2013 to write an article suggesting that Elisa\u2019s (Denise Gough) religious commune upbringing led to her daughter\u2019s kidnapping? Regardless, intrepid reporter Selma (Ambika Mod) isn\u2019t backing down. She is determined to untangle the truth, and in this penultimate episode she discovers a key link between Elisa and a fatal traffic accident. EEJ<\/p>\n
We Might Regret This<\/p>\n
10pm, BBC Two
The finale of a criminally short four-episode comedy series is a hen do from hell story (always good fun, even if this one borders on excruciating). But while it causes Freya to question the whole wedding, elsewhere Abe tells his ex-wife, Jane, that he\u2019s finally ready to sell their house. All the while, the run-up to the big day is being sponsored on social media. HR<\/p>\n
