10pm, Channel 4
Nida Manzoor’s rollicking comedy about an all-female Muslim punk band – complete with original bangers – is back for a second season, and Lady Parts have just finished a summer of touring. With a growing fanbase behind them, it’s time to put an album together, but the £200 profit they made won’t cover the studio time. However, bassist and newly qualified doctor Amina (Anjana Vasan) is in her “villain era” so can make anything happen. Then a rival band come to the fore with the undeniably cool name of Second Wife. Lady Parts, of course, support the sisterhood – and there’s room for more than one band of Muslim women in the industry … right? Great fun. Hollie Richardson

9pm, BBC Two
It has been a total treat joining Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark on their cultural odyssey, which along the way has turned into a tender journey of soul-searching and friendship. They finish in Rome, where Rylan opens up about what it all means to “a ginger kid from a council flat in Stepney Green” who was expected to “stay in his lane”. There’s lots of fun on the agenda, too: dressing as a macaroni comes more easily to Rylan than Rob. Hollie Richardson

It’s Jennifer Lopez vs a smart robot that has decided to wipe out humanity! Plus a heartbreaking tale of childhood friendship with tragic consequences

Belgian director Lukas Dhont’s heartbreaker of a drama captures that time in a child’s life when they are starting to formulate adult emotions but can’t (or won’t) articulate what they are feeling. Thirteen-year-olds Léo and Rémi (Eden Dambrine and Gustav De Waele, both exceptional) are the best of friends – running around, riding their bikes, having sleepovers. But when they move up to secondary school, their closeness becomes a topic of gossip among their peers – and the more outgoing Léo begins to distance himself from Rémi. The tragic outcome of this barely acknowledged decision hits hard, as the long tail of grief and guilt affects children and parents alike.

It’s the 10th series of Sewing Bee and time for a new host: Kiell Smith-Bynoe of Ghosts fame, who is making the role permanent after helming the Christmas special. To celebrate the passing of the baton, the latest batch of contestants are tasked with making 12 dolls of the original presenter, Claudia Winkleman. No, not really: it’s a repeat of the first challenge ever set on the show – making an A-line skirt with denim and contrast thread (to sneakily catch out any “wibbly wobbly” lines). Hollie Richardson

A man in Glasgow woke from a coma to find US cops calling his identity into question. Plus, how DNA has reactivated cold sex cases, and Blue Lights concludes

9pm, Channel 4
Strap in for an utterly absurd true-crime story. An eccentric man known locally in Glasgow as Arthur Knight woke up from a Covid coma in 2021 and found himself surrounded by police. US authorities claimed his real identity was Nicholas Rossi who, after several rape charges, faked his own death. This four-parter follows the countless shocking reveals as, over two years in court, he and his English wife, Miranda, continued to insist he was Knight. It also speaks with journalists, legal figures involved and the women Rossi allegedly assaulted. The case led to a judge ruling that he is, in fact, Rossi, and he is now facing charges in the US – but the journey needs to be seen to be believed. Hollie Richardson
