Holby City, 7.50pm, BBC1
After finding the courage to admit Sahira Shah’s father Reyhan sexually abused him as a child, this week Henrik Hanssen (Guy Henry) is reunited with his tormentor when Reyhan returns to Holby with complications from his liver transplant. Hanssen vows Reyhan will pay for his crimes – but Reyhan claims no one will believe him after all these years. He manipulates Hanssen into calling Sahira who, up to now, hasn’t taken Hanssen’s allegations seriously. So she’s horrified when new evidence suggests Hanssen is telling the truth… A challenging storyline, sensitively handled and highlighting why abuse victims struggle to come forward decades on from their ordeal.

The Remains of the Day, 4.30pm, Sony Movies
This 1993 Merchant-Ivory adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker Prize-winning novel is a heartbreaking tale of repression and restraint in the name of duty. Anthony Hopkins won a well-deserved BAFTA as the buttoned-up butler of a country house, while Emma Thompson is equally good as the housekeeper keen to take their relationship further.
