Julie Gearey’s sci-fi romp continues with tonight’s second episode charting the fallout of the mutiny on the prison ship, the Hemlock. Space cop Ash Harper (Savannah Steyn) now finds herself on the run, trying to make her way home through the deserts of an alien planet, while her mother (Parminder Nagra) discovers that her false imprisonment is the work of a terrorist organisation. Things get complicated, though, when Ash discovers that one of the terrorists is on the run with her and could clear her name. Ammar Kalia

World’s Most Scenic River Journeys
8pm, Channel 5
Bill Nighy’s deadpan narration is perfect for a glide through water as the slow show reaches the River Shannon in Ireland. Paddle boards, a barge and a cruiser are among the modes of transport and there’s only the myth of a loch-living monster who threatens to chew sailors’ faces off to disturb the peace. Hannah Verdier

The Flight Attendant
10pm, Sky One
Never has a nasty case of hangxiety been so justified by the night before’s hijinks. Over seven episodes, high-flying hot mess Cassie (The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco) has been travelling the world, trying to find out how her one night stand in Bangkok ended up dead. In this week’s finale she finally tidies up the loose ends. Ellen E Jones
Film choice
Tenet (Christopher Nolan, 2020), 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
For repeat viewers, a chance to join the dots in Christopher Nolan’s palindromic, timey-wimey thriller, as John David Washington’s “Protagonist” strives to save the world (or something) from Kenneth Branagh’s Russian oligarch. For first-timers, just wallow in the brilliant confusion, even if it’s ultimately a bit shallow. Simon Wardell
