Marcella, 9pm, ITV
Following Katherine’s deadly warning that she is not to be underestimated, Marcella is a paranoid, nervous wreck. The Maguire family appear to be blaming her for the mysterious abduction of their gung-ho henchman, Bobby, and now her stalker is leaving more cryptic messages. It all gets too much and her handler Frank (Hugo Speer) is forced to step in as Marcella’s mental health hangs in the balance. While he tries to get her to focus on the job, it seems the Maguires are harbouring their own individual secrets which, if exposed, could tear them apart at the seams…

Holby City, 7.50pm (Scotland, 8.20pm), BBC1
After the dramatic events of last week, Holby favourite Dominic Copeland and Sacha Levy’s unstable ex-lover Jodie Rodgers are in a very bad way. Dom (David Ames) has sustained serious injuries and needs life-saving surgery. Meanwhile, Jodie (Sian Reese-Williams) pleads with Sacha (Bob Barrett) to save their unborn baby – whatever happens – and he assures her he will. But can he keep his promise? Later, Dom is in recovery from his operation, but he’s devastated to discover he’s sustained life-changing injuries… Another great episode with superb performances all round, which paves the way for some exciting things to come.

Superstore, seasons one to five, Netflix
Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera stars in an enjoyable comedy series centring on a group of employees at a megastore called Cloud 9 in St Louis, Missouri, which, like the American version of The Office, takes a few episodes before it hits its stride.
Best film to watch on TV tonight
Can You Ever Forgive Me?, 5.10pm, Sky Cinema Comedy
Boozy and bad-tempered, cranky author Lee Israel turns to literary forgery to make ends meet – knocking off fake letters by the likes of Dorothy Parker and selling them with help from her gay English drinking buddy Jack Hock. Melissa McCarthy and Richard E Grant are a terrific double act in this hilarious, unexpectedly poignant fact-based drama set in 1990s New York.
