Agatha Christie’s Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?
Sunday, 9pm, ITV1
Written and directed by Hugh Laurie, this impeccably stylish Agatha Christie murder mystery is packed with stars and takes a much jauntier tone than most other adaptations of the crime writer’s beloved novels. Nice lad Bobby Jones (Will Poulter) discovers a man dying at the foot of a sea cliff whose final words are: “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” Bobby and his bored posh pal Lady Frances Derwent (Lucy Boynton) – whose parents are comically played by Jim Broadbent and Emma Thompson – start their own investigations into what the dead man was on about. First aired on BritBox last year, the three hour-long episodes run throughout this week. Hollie Richardson
Last Woman on Earth With Sara Pascoe
9pm, BBC Two
Pascoe is back learning about other countries by getting hands-on with their fast-vanishing jobs. In Greece that means slinging popcorn at an open-air cinema, joining a lone monk at a Meteora monastery and being adopted into a convivial clan of bell-makers (“Your first time pouring metal, right?” jokes one brother). Graeme Virtue
Wild Isles
7pm, BBC One
The time has come for the fifth and final episode of what is said to be Sir David Attenborough’s last on-location series. To mark the occasion, watch as 20,000 grey seals descend on Norfolk’s Blakeney Point, with males weighing up to 310kg intent on one thing and one thing only: mating. Danielle De Wolfe
For the Love of Paul O’Grady
8pm, ITV1
This homage to the much-loved TV entertainer follows his sudden and tragic death last month. We’re promised interviews with those who knew him best, alongside highlights from his career – which should certainly make for brilliant viewing, given what a talent he was. Alexi Duggins
Great Expectations
9pm, BBC One
“If you want £5,000, an apartment in the heart of London and a pathway to the heart of the girl you love, sit down Pip.” Jaggers makes our hero an offer he can’t refuse, as the peaky reboot continues. Elsewhere, Magwitch comes a cropper in Oz, and there’s a hideous love rival to put out of business. Ali Catterall
Fashion Reimagined
9pm, Sky Documentaries
Remember when Netflix’s Seaspiracy had everyone rethinking their tuna sandwiches? This sombre and stylish feature documentary about British designer Amy Powney is doing the same for our clothes. Emboldened by her off-grid (yet on-trend) childhood, and her well-thumbed copy of Naomi Klein’s No Logo, Powney is forging fashion’s sustainable future. Ellen E Jones

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, Prime Video
Hugh Grant is settling nicely into his second career as a movie villain, and he is the best thing in Guy Ritchie’s new spy thriller. Jason Statham stars as mercenary Orson Fortune, hired by the UK government to track down a stolen mystery device. His team includes Aubrey Plaza’s bracingly snarky intel expert Sarah and Josh Hartnett’s Hollywood film star Danny – who, in shades of Team America: World Police, has to act his way into the good graces of arms dealer Greg, played winningly by Grant as kind of a sleazy second cousin to Michael Caine.

The Forgiven, 10pm, 1.55am, Sky Cinema Premiere
A privileged white man in a strange land faces his demons in John Michael McDonagh’s dark moral tale, which avoids using its Moroccan setting as a mere backdrop by including well-rounded indigenous characters. Ralph Fiennes’s British doctor David and his wife Jo (Jessica Chastain) are driving across the desert to a swanky party when they run over and kill a local boy. As David is forced by the father (Ismael Kanater) to confront the consequences of his actions, Fiennes brilliantly conveys his journey towards penitence. SW
