TV tonightTelevisionTV tonight: a police officer is in too deep in a horribly tense thriller
Morven Christie plays a conflicted cop investigating the disappearance of twins in ITV drama The Bay. Plus: Billions is back. Here’s all the best TV to tune in for
The Bay
9pm, ITV
Following a seemingly innocuous but, in reality, very significant start, the writer Daragh Carville has delivered a quality six-part drama. Morven Christie is a police officer becoming a little too emotionally involved with a case (to the point where she might compromise it) concerning a pair of missing Morecambe twins to whose distraught parents she is assigned. As well as enduring the tensions associated with the investigation, you will be praying she doesn’t get found out. Mike Bradley
Great British Menu
8pm, BBC Two
Another series of competitive banqueteering as this culinary knockout returns. Tonight, three chefs from London and the south-east conjure starters and fish dishes celebrating – albeit often very tangentially – the history of British pop music. Worst fish-and-music-based pun? What’s the Story, Morning Dory? Phil Harrison
Married at First Sight
9pm, Channel 4
New series powered by people brave/crazy enough to let strangers decide who they will marry. Outdoorsy property manager Jonathan is matched with Steph, a nurse who is 11 years younger. Verity is looking for a witty man and she may have just found him in Jack, a joker with strong family values. Hannah Verdier
How to Go Viral: The Art of the Meme With Richard Clay
9pm, BBC Four
Art historian Richard Clay explores what makes a successful meme. Along the way, he ponders historic memes such as the Christian cross and the V-sign and argues that internet memes should be celebrated as the latest incarnation of a rich culture of symbols. See if you agree. MB
Billions
9pm, Sky Atlantic
A return of the series about folks to whom vast amounts of money have brought not happiness but perpetual, warring resentment. Wagner is abducted at a nightclub and Chuck is desperate to bribe his way back to power and influence, while Damian Lewis’s Bobby is determined to crush Taylor. David Stubbs
Mums Make Porn
10pm, Channel 4
The jaw-dropping account of what happens when, united by their horror at the free hardcore porn on their children’s phones and tablets, five mothers of teenage children band together to make an adult movie they describe as “good ‘woman porn’ that men will like as well”. A good point, well made. MB
Film choice
Boyhood (Richard Linklater, 2014), 12.45am, Film4
Twelve years in the making, Richard Linklater’s compelling, wonderful family drama is a real labour of love. It follows the life of little Mason (the extraordinary Ellar Coltane) as he ages from six to 18, Linklater returning each year to shoot scenes that chart his growth from young boy to young man. Paul Howlett
