Best TV shows on TV tonight
Unforgotten, 9 pm, ITV1
A family member is devastated when the forensic team identifies the body found inside a chimney and reveals the victim, a young woman, died after being shot. It’s a major breakthrough in the case, but DI Sunny Khan’s (Sanjeev Bhaskar) snappy new boss, DCI Jess James (Sinéad Keenan), is still majorly distracted by the implosion of her marriage.
Sunny is finding her gruff manner increasingly intolerable, but he’s about to be rocked when he gets personal news that knocks him for six! Meanwhile, Lord Tony Hume (Ian McElhinney) is thrown a surprise party by his wife, Emma (Hayley Mills), but what dark secrets is the former Tory MP hiding behind his tight smile?

The latest updates, reviews and unmissable series to watch and more!
You’ll notice a pattern emerging in this series which follows learner drivers who have been struggling to pass their driving tests. What’s clear is that the issue doesn’t necessarily lie with the learner but the loved one who’s teaching them! Fatemah’s been learning for eight years, but is still a nervous wreck behind the wheel, and the fact that her dad/instructor Akil is terrified to be in the car with her isn’t helping. So when they arrive at Scarlett Moffatt’s school, can pro-instructor Vicky help them on the road to Fatemah’s longed-for licence?

Married at First Sight: Australia, 7:30 pm, E4
Get ready for some shocked/surprised/delighted expressions as more couples meet for the first time on their wedding days. The ‘social experiment’ which sees people matched by experts is back for a 10th series, and this year’s game Australians include Sandy, a dental hygienist who’s never had a serious relationship (featured tomorrow), and Bronte, whose big day is so dramatic it has a part two tonight (10pm).
As always, we’ll be hooked from the moment they say ‘I do’, even though experience tells us many will be saying ‘I don’t’ by day three of the honeymoon! And relationship experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla return to proffer their pearls of wisdom.

Blue Bloods, 9pm, Sky Witness
As the crime drama returns for season 13, big changes are in store for the Reagans.

Meanwhile, police commissioner Frank (Tom Selleck) takes an incognito late-night walk with his friend, Archbishop Kevin Kearns (Stacy Keach), to find out how cops on the street are feeling… ★★★★ JE

Band members Graham (Will Harrison), Eddie (Josh Whitehouse), Karen (Suki Waterhouse) and Warren (Sebastian Chacon) discuss their time in the band and reveal what happened away from the ever-present cameras.
