Saint-Pierre

9pm, U&Alibi
Bilingual dialogue! Sharp suits! Beautiful landscapes! Yes, Shetland meets CSI in this French-Canadian police procedural about disgraced cop Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Allan Hawco), who gets reassigned to the small island after a personal arrest goes embarrassingly viral. But will his bumbling demeanour work on his new partner, the no-nonsense Geneviève “Arch” Archambaul (Joséphine Jobert)? Phil Harrison

Making a Maestro

8pm, Sky Arts
A wonderful insight into what conductors actually do, as the Donatella Flick LSO Conducting Competition looks for its next winner. One of the 20 young hopefuls followed here will gain, as Flick describes it, a “passport for the rest of their career”. As they conduct two pieces each – Handel and Schubert – it’s even more stressful than watching Tár. Hollie Richardson

Michael Jackson: An American Tragedy

9pm, BBC Two
The final part of this dispiriting documentary focuses on the last six years of Jackson’s life as he grappled with yet more financial, legal and reputational crises. Being charged with child molestation in 2003 triggered the most sensational US trial since OJ Simpson: a “three-ring circus of bizarre”, as one witness puts it. Graeme Virtue

Grayson Perry Has Seen the Future

9pm, Channel 4

Perry winds up his two-part tour in San Francisco to meet people at the heart of the tech industry: designers creating robots that help autistic children; a twentysomething multimillionaire developer who still lives with his parents; and AI “head honch”, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark. As always, Grayson is open-minded and insightful. Lucinda Everett

The ’Burbs

9pm, Sky One
A few possible answers this week as this solid but slightly superfluous reboot of the 80s comic horror continues. Rob and Naveen are under suspicion, but could the roots of their odd behaviour be sadness rather than badness? Meanwhile, Lynn has an alarming experience with some sleeping pills. What is Samira up to? PH

Twenty Twenty Six

10pm, BBC Two
Things change; things stay the same. Ian Fletcher is forever flustered, Will is still Will, only more so. But since 2012, we’ve had to get our heads around Zoom (cue mishaps with a David Beckham virtual meeting) and the correct way to address non-binary online activists. Can Fletcher’s team placate the environmental podcast Call This Shit Out? Ali Catterall

Film choice

The Man with Two Brains (Carl Reiner, 1983), 4.25am, Sky Cinema Greats

A key work from Steve Martin’s 1980s heyday, this homage to/spoof of 50s sci-fi movies is a kitchen sink’s worth of sight gags and wordplay. Martin is in typically manic mode as groundbreaking brain surgeon Michael Hfuhruhurr (“It sounds just the way it’s spelt”) who marries Kathleen Turner’s gloriously venal, libidinous femme fatale Dolores. But then he falls for the disembodied but still living brain of Anne Uumellmahaye – an uncredited Sissy Spacek. Simon Wardell
