The Lady
9pm, ITV1
The penultimate episode of the soapy true-crime drama about Sarah Ferguson’s former assistant Jane Andrews, who was convicted of murdering her boyfriend Tommy Cressman.

Romance Scams: Don’t Get Caught Out
7pm, Channel 5
“A potential new partner doesn’t need to know the ins and outs of your financial situation.” It should be that simple but romance scammers know how to exploit people’s deepest desires. Alexis Conran speaks to victims and goes to experts for tips on how to protect yourself. HR
Call the Midwife
8pm, BBC One
Ahead of a finale that promises to be even more emotional than usual, with irreversible change incoming, the Nonnatus House gang dutifully perform their district rounds, accompanied by a group of junior doctors that includes Timothy Turner (Max Macmillan). Also, Violet (Annabelle Apsion) is obliged to turn her hand to midwifery. Jack Seale
Lord of the Flies
9pm, BBC One
Jack Thorne’s adaptation of the classic novel on humanity’s primal instincts reaches its conclusion, and Ralph (Winston Sawyers) comes to the fore. Even the animalistic chaos of the previous night has not sated the boys’ appetite for violence, so when Piggy’s glasses are stolen it sets off a showdown between the two groups of castaways. Ellen E Jones
Watson
9pm, Sky Witness
After the recent excitement of his old partner returning from the dead, it’s back to the day job for suave genius Dr John Watson: untangling baffling medical mysteries. This week, he meets a girl who looks about 10 but has the teeth (and profane vocabulary) of someone much older. What game is afoot? Graeme Virtue
Making of Lord of the Flies
10pm, BBC Four
Jack Thorne’s adaptation of William Golding’s novel – the first made for TV – has proved hit and miss with fans and critics. No one can argue against how magnificent it looks, though, and this behind-the-scenes documentary shows the cast and crew filming in Malaysia – with lots of creepy-crawlies, rain and even a twister.

Film choice
Fire Will Come, 2.10am, Film4
With his excellent new film Sirât now in cinemas, here’s a chance to catch Óliver Laxe’s previous work. Set in the mountains of Galicia, Spain, it’s a low-key drama that follows Amador (Amador Arias Mon), freed from prison after an arson conviction, who returns to his home, mother Benedicta (Benedicta Sánchez) and three cows. As a study of the seasonal rhythms of rural life it’s hypnotic and soothing, with the taciturn Amador tending the cattle and interacting awkwardly with other locals. That is until a forest fire breaks out. Was he responsible? Simon Wardell
