Call the Midwife
8pm, BBC One
The approaching Bonfire night in the Poplar neighborhood will feature both fireworks and emotional outbursts as it is also the season finale. Miss Higgins, who is proper and uptight, is confronted with secrets from her past. Trixie, who has been under a lot of pressure lately, is on the verge of losing control. On a more positive note, the competition for mother of the year is in progress with the grand prize being a top-of-the-line washing machine. Graeme Virtue.
Secret World of Sound With David Attenborough
8pm, Sky Nature
This immaculately recorded series exploring the unique sounds of nature is a sensory delight. The odd selection of noises in this episode revolve around attracting mates and repelling rivals. These include the clattering antlers of rutting stags, the peculiar droning noise emitted by midshipman fish in romantic moments and, most bizarrely of all, the sharp-tailed grouse which, via foot-stamping and feather-rustling, constructs polyrhythmic symphonies.

Death in Paradise
9pm, BBC One
Jocelyn is given a thrilling opportunity, but how will it impact the career of her older brother Marlon (Tahj Miles) in the island’s police force? Despite this, Marlon is suddenly summoned to a murder investigation where the sole witness is a parrot. In the meantime, should Neville (Ralf Little) finally confess to being deceived online? Ellen E Jones
The Dry
10.15pm, ITV1
These are the last two episodes of an expertly crafted show about a woman overcoming her struggles with alcoholism and reconnecting with her family in Dublin. It beautifully portrays the bittersweet dynamics of family life, with a particular standout moment being a hilariously awkward encounter where Tom sets up a date for Max on behalf of Ant. PH
Film choice
True Things, 10.45pm, BBC Two
Despite the fun factor of erotic thrillers, it’s unfortunate that until recently, none of them were set in Ramsgate. However, this has changed with True Things, a film where Ruth Wilson, a bored employee at a benefits office, becomes entranced by Tom Burke’s enigmatic character. As her fascination turns to obsession, Wilson’s mental state deteriorates with each rendezvous. While it may seem odd to see Wilson’s shining movie star aura attempt to portray an ordinary person (even a sandwich from the supermarket can’t diminish her allure), the movie delves into the carnal inclinations of women. Written by Stuart Heritage.
