TV tonight: Michelle Keegan's prickly 50s drama returns
Brassic co-creator Danny Brocklehurst's enjoyably prickly period drama about UK families trying to make a fresh start in 1950s Oz returns for a second series. After a year in a crummy hostel camp, the expanding Roberts clan – headed by ex-soldier Terry (Warren Brown) and sharp shopgirl Annie (Faye Marsay) – are determined to move up in the world. Meanwhile, desperate nurse Kate (Michelle Keegan) has reclaimed her birth son … but how long can the pair remain on the run? Graeme Virtue

Tom Hanks's lovely narration and some incredible filming atone for this nature documentary's rather vague remit. This week we are in Mexico: there's mum-and-chicks drama in the desert, and dastardly orcas scheming together to hunt dolphins in the Sea of Cortez. Plus, a closeup look at orchid bees and monarch butterflies. Jack Seale

As the star-studded Agatha Christie adaptation reaches its second act, a shocking murder is discovered at Gull's Point – the Devon estate of Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston). Insp Leach (Matthew Rhys) must find his footing amid the love triangles and society scandals of 1930s England if he is to bring a killer to justice. Ellen E Jones

Another grimly enthralling tiptoe around a horrific crime scene. A man has been fatally stabbed in his Birmingham home and it falls to forensics expert Cara Nicholls-Parkin to follow – quite literally at times – the trail of blood. It's inevitably bleak but also remarkable in its depiction of the many facets of a murder investigation. Phil Harrison

By 2020, Sarah Turner had garnered millions of podcast listens and TikTok views as she shared her belief that her father killed her sister Alissa nearly 20 years earlier. It resulted in an arrest and trial that was later dismissed. She shares her personal investigation in this feature-length documentary. Hollie Richardson
Get Carter, 10pm, BBC Two
There is often a cruel, amoral edge to Michael Caine's most memorable characters, and Jack Carter in Mike Hodges's hardcore crime drama is a case study in cold-hearted revenge. Back home in Newcastle upon Tyne to find out who killed his brother, London-based gangster Jack rubs everyone up the wrong way. But will he get to the truth before the local mobsters send him packing, or worse? Hodges has a great feel for the working-class environment Jack moves through, setting scenes in pubs, racecourses, ferries and the bingo, as his quest gets ever more brutal. Simon Wardell

American shopper 'sent into coma' after Sainsbury's visit
Content creator Paige Wester, who is an American living in England, posted a TikTok where she revealed her shock and confusion over how Brits shop. Taking to Sainsbury's and in a later video Tesco, the TikTok star branded the series "things in a British grocery store that would send Americans into a coma." Both videos have gone viral on TikTok, gaining a combined nearly 3 million views. Stepping into Sainsbury's, Paige was first surprised by British eggs, sharing: "Their eggs are never refrigerated, they're always in these containers or on shelves." One big element the TikTok creator was stunned by was the beloved tea aisle: "The tea aisle is absolutely insane to me. "It's an entire aisle just dedicated to different types of teas." Paige was also surprised by Brits' love of pies: "People love to make anything into a pie. "We've got steak pies, we've got chicken pies, we've got cheesy veg pies. "Don't get me wrong, I love a good pie, but not everything needs to be inside of a pie." The TikTok then entered the 'scary' part of Sainsbury's when she discovered black pudding on the shelf: "This is where things get scary, but black pudding is a staple in most people's households." Later, the content creator visited Tesco and was confused by the amount of juice concentrate available: "Americans may be fat, but someone tell me why British people won't drink water, they have to have juice." Adding: "Let's just all grow up and drink water like a normal person."

Stood with his wife on a platform above the water, he told his followers: "Little choppy today. A few broken plates." He then showed Hanni, who sported windswept hair in the footage, stood beside him. She said: "A little bit too much chop!" Jack went on to show furniture on the decking where the couple were stood before turning back to the water. The actor zoomed in on a cave and appeared to reference the film the Goonies (1985). He said in the video message: "One-Eyed Willy's cave - where all the gold's kept." Then showing a tower further down the coast, Jack teased before laughing: "That's my room up there. Where I'm staying." Jack and Hanni's respective posts about their honeymoon are the latest updates after their nuptials over the weekend. Yesterday, the newlyweds reflected on the special occasion in a joint post that was uploaded to the platform. Alongside photos from their wedding, they wrote: "Introducing Mr & Mrs Shepherd. Words cannot describe how beautiful yesterday was for us - it was more than perfect. The love & energy in the room (and outside) was incredible." They continued the caption of their post by writing in the message to their followers on the weekend: "Our hearts our truly full. Thank you so much to you all - it means the world to us." Jack and Hanni added: "Love is all you need." The couple continued: "It took a whole team - a team we couldn't be happier with, thank you so much - we are literally in awe of how talented you all are." They then tagged various providers, including their photographer and florist.
