Our Girl, 9.00pm, BBC1

Michelle Keegan Our Girl Series 3

Michelle Keegan’s back in camouflage gear for a brand new series, as 2-Section fly out to Nepal on a humanitarian mission. Medic Georgie Lane is trying to put her second failed engagement behind her, but with old flame Elvis (Luke Pasqualino) still very much on the scene, it looks like singledom won’t be straightforward – especially with a handsome local engineer catching her eye, too. Romance aside, Georgie must also mentor new recruit Maisie, whose reckless approach to war and poor decision-making are a time bomb for the rest of the section. Action-packed and gripping, it’s a welcome return for this great series. Rating: ****

Obviously, old habits are hard to break… Rating: ***

Russia 1917: Countdown to Revolution, 9.00pm, BBC2

Countdown to Revolution

Continuing its Russia season to mark the centenary of the October Revolution, BBC2’s drama-documentary looks at the three men who created an entirely new political system – Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. In just six months, they had turned the largest country on Earth into the first Communist state. Historians and writers still debate to this day whether it was a triumph of people power, or a violent coup d’etat. Juliet Stevenson narrates. Rating: ****
