Line of Duty, 9pm, BBC1
It’s been two years since we last caught up with anti-corruption gang AC-12 but the fabulously intense opener to this sixth run is definitely worth the wait as it hits the ground running. While Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) is feeling rather sidelined after the awkward questions into his own behaviour in the previous series, the team are soon looking into the actions of a tricksy new adversary, DCI Joanne Davidson (a wonderfully unfathomable turn from The Victim’s Kelly Macdonald), whose strange decision during a murder case rings alarm bells…

Midsomer Murders, 8pm, ITV
There’s definitely a buzz in the air when DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) return to solve another batch of murders in the chocolate-box setting of Midsomer. Griff Rhys Jones stars as pompous lord of the manor Ambrose Deddington, who runs a honey-making business with his snooty sister Tamara, (Imogen Stubbs). However, when Ambrose’s beloved beehives are attacked, a sinister mystery unfolds and more than one villager will be breathing their last! Former Corrie actors Wendi Peters and Derek Griffiths also star.

Best box set to watch on TV tonight
Malcolm in the Middle, seasons 1-7, All 4
Before Breaking Bad and Your Honor, Bryan Cranston was best known as the loving but inept dad in this endearing sitcom starring Frankie Muniz, with his wife (Jane Kaczmarek) left to keep their three sons in line.
Best film to watch on TV tonight
Wonder, 3.20pm, C4
The bestselling – and multi-award-winning – Young Adult novel Wonder by RJ Palacio is adapted for the big screen in this heartwarming drama about tolerance and acceptance. Auggie, a boy born with a facial deformity, attends school for the first time aged 10 after years of being home-schooled. Room’s Jacob Tremblay is touching as Auggie, while Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson bring charm to the roles of his parents.
