Angla Scanlon's back on the Beeb, there's a harrowing season finale for fans of Freddie Highmore's The Good Doctor, and it’s the Celeb Bake Off final . . . it's another busy day on the box.
Pick of the Day
Miss Scarlet and the Duke, 9.00pm, Alibi
Episode two of this rattling, tongue-in-cheek period procedural - filmed in Dublin and starring Peaky Blinders actress Kate Phillips as Eliza Scarlet, Victorian London’s first female private detective.
More of last week's same, please. Entertainment has never been more necessary than it is now.
This week’s caper sees Eliza takes a seemingly impossible case: proving the innocence of a man found at a murder scene with a bloodied knife in his hand, who has already pleaded guilty.
Have a look at Alibi's catch-up service if you missed last week's opener.

Owen Colgan Around The Fire, RTÉ Player
This has been described as a 'cosy and chaotic comedy chat show’ and stars Owen Colgan (Buzz McDonnell from Hardy Bucks), as host. In each episode, Owen invites a guest to join him around the fire to tackle a big issue, from sex to the climate crisis.
In support, Owen has enlisted his unprofessional Auntie Noreen as producer and comedians Hannah Mamalis and Aideen McQueen as reporters.
The Durrells Season 3, Netflix
One of the victims of the disappearance of UTV Ireland was this delightful Sunday night period drama starring a luminous Keely Hawes as the mother of the Durrells, living an almost idyllic existence on Corfu in the 1930s.
Those of us who missed out after season two can take up the story once more from here.
While Larry dreads Aunt Hermione's impending arrival, Louisa is determined to relieve Leslie of at least two of his three girlfriends, but this falls into difficulty when different members of the family prefer a different girl - and invite each to tea at the same time.
Ending Tonight
The Good Doctor, 9.00pm, Sky Witness & NOW TV
The third season of the heartfelt medical drama starring Freddie Highmore as the skilled surgeon Dr Shaun Murphy concludes in highly traumatic fashion.
By all accounts this episode is a major downer, especially given that we’re going through a pandemic in the real world, as the doctors work against time and their own personal safety to save the lives of those around them in the wake of an earthquake.
The Great Celeb city Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, 8.00pm, Channel 4

The Art Mysteries with Waldemar Januszczak, 8.30pm, BBC Four
The season ends with the story behind The Card Players, one of Cezanne's most famous artworks.
Waldemar Januszczak considers how this image of two old men hunched over their game of cards expresses the artist's puzzling religious beliefs, particularly his fascination for Mary Magdalene.

When a noisy neighbour moves in, Lucy complains neither Tim nor Lee is man enough to get him to quieten down.
The friends take it to heart and try to prove their masculinity, one by joining a gym and the other by confronting the new arrival - only to find he is a creepy psychopath with the eyes of a killer.
