WHAT can't you miss on TV tonight? Our guide to the must-see shows...
Homeland, 9pm, Channel 4
The US President is accused of thuggishness and may come under investigation from a special prosecutor, while fake news spreads like wildfire.
Yes, the seventh series of this drama opens on a familiar note… Our hero Carrie (Claire Danes, right) is working against the President, who’s jailed people illegally because she’s paranoid following the assassination attempt on her.
But Carrie has problems of her own – she’s staying with her sister, who’s concerned she’s on the verge of a breakdown.
Until a violent, dark ending, it’s a slow start, but fans will love it and anyone watching will want to know what happens next…
Call The Midwife, 8pm, BBC One
Trixie (Helen George, left) leaves Nonnatus House to stay with her godmother in Portofino while she sorts her head out.
But fear not, it’s only to accommodate actress Helen’s maternity leave. Meanwhile, there are fears of a smallpox outbreak in Poplar and Lucille is on a mission to help a distressed expectant mother.
Hold the Sunset, 7.30pm, BBC One
It’s a welcome return for John Cleese in his first TV sitcom since Fawlty Towers, 39 years ago, and like that comedy classic, he’s surrounded by quality casting, including Alison Steadman, Jason Watkins and Anne Reid.
The sunset that’s being held is Phil (Cleese, right) and Edith’s (Steadman), whose twilight years are interrupted by a returning grown-up son. A fun watch.
Bafta Film Awards, 9pm, BBC One
The awards season is in full flow and the glamour brigade will be out in force at London’s Royal Albert Hall tonight as the nominees hope to receive a BAFTA trophy for their efforts in filmmaking this year.
Big names to look out for include Margot Robbie, up for Best Actress, and Gary Oldman (below), who’s turn as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour has been widely praised. Joanna Lumley hosts proceedings.
Endeavour, 8pm, ITV
After last week’s Hollywood glitz, Morse (Shaun Evans, left) returns to more mundane matters, interviewing trainspotters during the investigation into the disappearance of a woman near the railway tracks.
The case takes a dark turn, and it appears there’s a serial killer on the loose. Full of twists and gorgeous scenery.
