The Reluctant Vampire<\/p>\n
6.40pm, BBC One<\/p>\n
Fifteen-year-old Valentine (Lenny Rush) grew up thinking he was a really rubbish vampire. But his mother (Sian Clifford) is about to tell him the reason why he doesn\u2019t have bloodlust: he\u2019s actually a human. She asks him not to tell his loving but despairing father (Tom Davis) \u2013 the vampire king! Can poor Valentine pull off being the heir to the vampire throne? Neil and Rob Gibbons \u2013 the team behind Alan Partridge \u2013 have done a fun job of adapting Eric Morecambe\u2019s much-loved children\u2019s book. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n

Halfway through the competition and we\u2019re into the freestyle challenge. It\u2019s a fully choreographed routine or, as Rhod Gilbert explains, \u201cIt\u2019s like Strictly Come Dancing, but with a human and a dog.\u201d With the judges wanting clarity as well as a full spin, will Sara Pascoe and Mouse manage to retain their, erm, lead?

The Blame<\/p>\n
9pm, ITV1<\/p>\n
It\u2019s notable how many cop shows currently involve internal malfeasance. Ahead of the return of Line of Duty, this generic but sturdy drama continues to intrigue. This time, Michelle Keegan\u2019s implacable DI Crane finds a suspect slipping through her fingers. But this strengthens her conviction that the real problem lurks within Wakestead station.

Rebel Wilson\u2019s directorial debut is the subject of long-running legal disputes but you wouldn\u2019t know it from watching this sweet, simple musical comedy. It\u2019s set up as a city v country clash: rebellious Sydney teenager Maeve (Charlotte MacInnes) is banished to the bush to stay with farming cousin Taylah (Natalie Abbott) in \u201cthe town where feminism has come to die\u201d \u2013 and where the debutante ball is still a thing. Issues of body positivity and stifled ambition are showcased in songs with a certain Aussie pep (the first one is titled Fuck My Life). Simon Wardell<\/p>\n
The Order, 10pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n
Jude Law adds to his recent run of interesting character choices (Putin, Henry VIII, a Star Wars villain) in Justin Kurzel\u2019s gripping fact-based crime thriller. He plays FBI agent Terry Husk, whose new posting to rural Idaho comes with an Aryan Nation splinter group, led by Nicholas Hoult\u2019s charismatic Robert Jay Mathews, who are progressing from counterfeiting and bank robbery to something much bigger. Law\u2019s Husk is a convincingly raddled near has-been but he\u2019s a dog with a bone when he gets a sniff of Mathews\u2019s racist plot. SW<\/p>\n
The Crime Is Mine, 12.50am, BBC Two<\/p>\n
Prolific French director Fran\u00e7ois Ozon is the master of many genres, and the comic melodrama \u2013 of which this is his latest \u2013 is his most effortlessly enjoyable. In 1935 Paris, struggling actor Madeleine (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) is falsely accused of killing a famous theatre producer. However, aided by her flatmate, lawyer Pauline (Rebecca Marder), she plans to confess to \u201clegitimate defence\u201d, hoping the publicity will be good for both their careers. That is, until Isabelle Huppert\u2019s wrecking ball of a silent film star pops up. SW<\/p>\n
