MOTHERLAND: The close-to-home parenting comedy returns for a third series. As a nit pandemic sweeps the school, Julia (Anna Maxwell Martin) finds herself accused of triggering a second wave - so decides to host a treatment party in her home to get back into the good books of her fellow patients. Philippa Dunne, Tanya Moodie, Paul Ready, Lucy Punch and Diane Morgan all return, too.
BBC Two, 9pm
INSIDE NO 9: Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith star in a new season of their dark comedy dramas, starting with Wuthering Heists, a mashup of heist movie and commedia dell’arte - though it doesn’t really matter if you don’t know what that is. Pantalone has an audacious plan to steal a consignment of diamonds - but he’s hired a complete bunch of double-crossing clowns to do it. The guest cast features Kevin Bishop, Paterson Joseph and Gemma Whelan.
