Britain's Best Parent?, 8.05pm, C4
Inviting the nation to judge our parenting skills isn’t really our idea of a great time, but apparently some people feel a bit differently. Over the next four weeks, three sets of parents per episode take it in turns to look after each other’s kids in their preferred style. They then meet up with Anita Rani in the studio to discuss how it went and the audience votes for the pick of the parenting bunch. First up: Joana, who encourages gender fluidity, self-styled ‘lazy parents’ Kevin and Kerry, and Rin and Robin, who favour strict boundaries.

Spooks, seasons 1-10, BBC iPlayer
Recently seen as Charles Ingram in ITV’s Quiz, Matthew Macfadyen is a tough spy in this MI5 drama that co-stars his now wife Keeley Hawes. Bomb threats, shootings and kidnappings are all part of the job in this action-packed series.
Best film to watch on TV tonight
The Imposter, 10.05pm, C4
British filmmaker Bart Layton’s superb documentary is a gripping thriller. In 1994, blond, blue-eyed 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay goes missing in Texas; in 1997 a dark-haired, brown-eyed youth turns up in Spain claiming to be him... Layton probes deeper into the bizarre case, using dramatic re-enactments and interviews with the people involved, including the puckish, chillingly enigmatic trickster at the heart of the story: Frenchman Frederic Bourdin.
