The Dark<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1
With the serial killer taking their third victim in the last cliffhanger, it\u2019s been a rough week at work for DI Kennedy (Laura Donnelly) in this sinister detective drama. Local men in their teens and 20s are the targets, and Kennedy thinks she knows who the next one will be \u2013 but will she save him? Or is she just playing into the killer\u2019s sick, twisted game? And what about her own worrying home dilemma with her daughter? Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a Gangster in My Flat: Panorama<\/p>\n
8pm, BBC One
This week\u2019s investigation presupposes that viewers can find an iota of sympathy in their hearts for buy-to-let landlords. It explores the plight of flat owners who, despite paying agencies to do tenancy checks, end up with criminals and gang members in their properties. A presumably unpleasant but probably quite niche problem. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
University Challenge<\/p>\n
8.30pm, BBC Two
The no-nonsense quiz where overconfident undergraduates can make fools of themselves is still in the early days of its 33rd series. But this first-round heat offers a chance to gauge the current form of defending champions Manchester. They take on 2023 winners Durham, with Amol Rajan presiding. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n
House of the Dragon<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky Atlantic
After two episodes concentrating more on political machinations than the armed conflicts that define life in Westeros, the Game of Thrones prequel is ready to burst back into bloody, fiery life. Possession of the Iron Throne has been a tainted blessing for Rhaenyra, but she wants to keep it. However, more than one branch of her tangled family tree violently disagrees. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

There\u2019s lots of sex in this episode of Chris Packham\u2019s revelatory series about life\u2019s origins. Don\u2019t expect raunch, though; instead, there\u2019s a detailed explanation of why it was so difficult for trilobites to get busy. Packham\u2019s ultimate destination is the massive eggs produced by ostriches but, as ever, he takes a fascinatingly scenic route. PH<\/p>\n
