Best TV shows on TV tonight
Rain Dogs, 10:40 pm, BBC One
Aspiring writer Costello (Daisy May Cooper) is desperate to get her big break, because her shifts at a sleazy peep show are not exactly leaving her fulfilled. When she receives an intriguing opportunity after a journalist expresses an interest in interviewing her about her life, she is adamant that she wants to write the piece herself. But will everything go her way?
Meanwhile, as Costello’s best pal Selby (Jack Farthing) makes his presence felt at a rehab group, aka ‘Punch Club’, for fellow violent offenders, her other close friend, undertaker Gloria (Ronke Adékoluejo), forges a rather inappropriate connection with a bereaved client…

Colin from Accounts, 10 pm, BBC Two
Two strangers with very different lives are brought together following a car accident involving a stray dog in this witty and heart-warming Australian romcom. Distressed by the idea of having the injured pup put to sleep, brewery manager Gordon (Patrick Brammall) and medical student Ashley (Harriet Dyer) make a rash decision to fork out thousands for life-saving surgery – which even involves buying wheels for the dog’s paralysed back legs – and then ‘co-parenting’ the terrier they name Colin from Accounts.
It all leads to an awkward romance that surprises everyone – including them!

Springtime on the Farm, 8 pm, Channel 5
Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire is a hive of activity this week as the Springtime team return to showcase the busiest season in farming. Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson are helping farm owners Rob and Dave Nicholson to deliver hundreds of baby animals, and hopes are high that sheepdog Pip could be in line for a litter of pups herself.
In an exciting coup, Rob and Dave are invited to the Princess Royal’s Gatcombe Park estate in the heart of the Cotswolds for a sneak peek at Princess Anne’s farm and rare-breed animals. Continues until Friday.

Best box set on TV tonight
Beef is a new 10-part comedy series about two people who collide after a road rage incident. This causes Danny Cho (Steven Yeun), a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder, to go head-to-head with Amy Lau (Ali Wong), a self-made entrepreneur with a picturesque life.
Danny and Amy find their lives affected by this seemingly everyday encounter. With a great supporting cast on board too, this "edgy, smart, revenge fable" should be perfect binge-watch material.
