New series. Daily life for staff and patients at the world’s longest-running maternity hospital, where an average of 24 babies are born every day. Grandmother Kay helps daughter Nicola through childbirth, young couple Shauna and Daryl anxiously await their baby’s arrival and Monaghan couple Áine and Arno cope with the news that their unborn child has a life-threatening condition.
No Offence (Channel 4, 9.00pm)
New series. Crowds gather for a mayoral debate between current incumbent Kashif Hassan and political underdog Caroline McCoy – only for the hustings to end in bloodshed when an assassin strikes. As Viv Deering and her team investigate, they are forced to infiltrate the far right, and their murky world of political benefactors, if they are to catch the culprit. Crime drama, starring Joanna Scanlan, Elaine Cassidy and Alexandra Roach.
Celebrity Masterchef (BBC One, 8.00pm)
The culinary contest continues as actress Lisa Maxwell, Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard, furniture restorer Jay Blades, radio presenter Clara Amfo and country singer Stella Parton – sister of Dolly – demonstrate their culinary prowess. They begin by making a dish from the ingredients in the Mystery Box, which this week includes pork loin, trout, cauliflower, raspberries and white chocolate, before cooking for paying customers in a restaurant kitchen. In the final round, they prepare a two-course meal of their own design to impress judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode, hoping it will be enough to see them through to the next round.
