The Undeclared War<\/p>\n
9pm, Channel 4
Espionage, malware and Simon Pegg doing his best serious face feature as Peter Kosminsky\u2019s cyber-thriller returns for a second season. When we left him, GCHQ director of operations Danny Patrick (Pegg) had discovered shocking secrets about both the internal workings of government and his own marriage. Perhaps inevitably, things are now even worse. Saara (Hannah Khalique-Brown) has observed irregularities in flows of information that can only mean one thing: a mole in the intelligence agency. Plenty of scowling and running down empty corridors ensues, with Adrian Lester back as the prime minister and Si\u00e2n Brooke joining as Danny\u2019s wife, a former MI6 member. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
Prison Wives of TikTok<\/p>\n
9pm, U&W<\/p>\n

Women being able to broadcast the details of their romances with men behind bars on social media is a recent development. This series follows five British women, explores their online community and, inevitably, assesses their brand-building, money-making power. Four of the five are in relationships with prisoners in the US so there\u2019s also an uneasy road trip. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
The Great British Sewing Bee<\/p>\n
8pm, BBC One
Sophie Willan hosts the crafty competition, which continues with a week dedicated to colour and prints. The briefs for each round showcase a range of tastes and talents, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a cinch. \u201cThis is absolutely hideous,\u201d says one contestant, inspecting their own handiwork.

Murder 24\/7<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC One
Another series of this raw and grimly intimate show that takes viewers into the inner workings of real murder cases. This time, Jo is found dead with a knife wound and her husband, Mohamed, is arrested. But with no fingerprints on the presumed weapon and blood patterns not indicating a struggle, something doesn\u2019t add up. PH<\/p>\n
Faithless<\/p>\n
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The series concludes with a time-spanning double bill. In the late 1970s, actor Marianne (Frida Gustavsson) is having a torrid affair with director David (Gustav Lindh), which reignites when they work together at her theatre. Their increasingly reckless shenanigans reach fever pitch at a birthday party. By 1980, Marianne is divorcing her husband when a tense night-time meeting ends in tragedy. Ali Catterall<\/p>\n
Johnny Vegas\u2019 Little Shop of Antiques<\/p>\n
9pm, Quest
Season two of a pleasantly lackadaisical reality show, and Vegas \u2013 plus his best mate Bev and girlfriend Vikki \u2013 has a new antiques shop to fit out, an electric van and dreams of taking the business online. Meanwhile, the endless need for new stock prompts a trip to Anglesey, and another haggling match with fearsome veteran Trish. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

The Pillow Book (Peter Greenaway, 1996), 1.10am, Film4
Peter Greenaway found perfect source material for his perennial obsessions with art, sex and death (with a side order of lists) in the titular notebook penned by Sei Sh\u014dnagon, a lady in the imperial court of late-900s Japan. In this exquisitely stylish drama, Sei\u2019s present-day counterpart is model Nagiko (Vivian Wu), who gets sexual gratification from calligraphers writing on her body. Then she starts a torrid affair with British translator Jerome (Ewan McGregor) and finds a very literary way to take revenge on the publisher who destroyed her father. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n
