Doc9pm, Sky WitnessWhile we wait for the US smash The Pitt to reach UK screens, here’s a new medical drama starring Molly Parker as a doctor who suffers amnesia. After a car crash, Dr Amy Larsen forgets everything that happened in the last eight years of her life … including her divorce. She relies on her colleagues (some of whom she has crossed) and teenage daughter (whom she remembers as a nine-year-old) to help fill in the blanks – the good and the bad. Hollie RichardsonStranded on Honeymoon Island9pm, BBC OnePour yourself a stiff one for week three of the Philippines-set reality show that takes two shots of Married at First Sight and mixes it with a glug of Love Island to create a sun-drenched but volatile cocktail. The latest wheeze to mess with the various newlyweds is to speedboat in some of their exes – a sure way to stir things up. Graeme VirtueMadeleine McCann: Searching for the Prime Suspect9pm, ITV1Dr Graham Hill overlooks Praia da Luz, where Madeleine McCann disappeared. Photograph: ITVIt has now been 18 years since Madeleine McCann’s unsolved disappearance but the public hunger for answers remains the same. This documentary focuses on Christian Brückner, who is set to be released from prison with no new charges despite the suspicions of the German authorities. But why can’t they prove anything? HRThe Donald Trump Show9pm, Channel 4While this series – which uses recent news footage, edited narratively without any voiceover – treats the second Trump presidency as an unfolding drama, its implications are very real and as serious as your life. This time, his willingness to ignore democratic norms extends to sending the National Guard to patrol LA and Washington DC. Terrifying. Phil HarrisonThe Rumour9pm, Channel 5Who is the real Sally McGowan? For all our sakes, let’s hope that Joanna’s obsession finally finds her the answer as the juicy thriller concludes. Her husband starts to worry about her behaviour and she is fired from work, but Joanna (Rachel Shenton) remains undeterred in her quest. It concludes on Thursday. HRMudtown9pm, U&AlibiThe penultimate episode of this dark Welsh drama sees Claire (Erin Richards) learn some home truths from “the Tony Soprano of Newport”. But if anything’s going to make you uneasy, it may be the sight of Matthew Gravelle – AKA Broadchurch baddie Joe Miller – as a doting dad. Hannah J DaviesFilm choiceGood Luck to You, Leo Grande, 9pm, Film4Pillow talk … Daryl McCormack and Emma Thompson. Photograph: Nick Wall/APSoon-to-be national treasure Emma Thompson gives a wonderfully candid performance in Sophie Hyde’s poignant drama about a late-in-life sexual awakening. Her widowed, retired teacher Nancy hires “aesthetically perfect” sex worker Leo (Daryl McCormack) for an afternoon in a hotel room in the hope of discovering a physical pleasure she never knew during her long marriage. There’s much more talking than sex, but the two leads perfectly balance the awkwardness, humour, tension and emotional mic drops that characterise their transactional encounters.
