    Dvořák’s New World Symphony at the Proms

    8pm, BBC Four
    The Proms are in full swing, kicking the weekend off with a “musical postcard from America”. The night starts with the European premiere of Adolphus Hailstork’s An American Port of Call, followed by Jennifer Higdon’s Blue Cathedral and Arturo Márquez’s Concierto de Otoño. It ends in grand, sweeping style with Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No 9 in E minor, “From the New World”. Domingo Hindoyan conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, with trumpeter Pacho Flores. Hollie Richardson

    Here We Go

    9pm, BBC One
    More unapologetic sitcom silliness – and unspeakably bad scouse accents – as the Jessops accompany Sue (Alison Steadman) to Liverpool. Between a stakeout at an elderly woman’s house and a trip to Sue’s childhood home (now a chicken shop), there’s far too much going on. But, really, that’s just all part of the fun. Hannah J Davies

    Under the Bridge

    9pm, ITV1
    “True crime” and “sensitive” aren’t words that often go together – and yet this Lily-Gladstone-led series, which also stars Riley Keough, pulls it off. As it continues, we learn more about how Reena fell in with the wrong crowd in the lead-up to her death, and – via flashbacks – how her parents, Manjit and Suman, first met. HJD

    8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

    9pm, Channel 4
    This chaotic words-and-numbers game continues to offer a showcase for an endlessly rotating cast of comics. We’re in series 28 now and, as ever, Jimmy Carr is your smirking master of ceremonies. The guests include Joe Wilkinson, Alex Brooker, Judi Love and, in his Brian Butterfield alter ego, Peter Serafinowicz. Phil Harrison

    And Just Like That

    9pm, Sky Comedy
    We’ve reached the penultimate episode – and this is Carrie’s most nauseating relationship yet: the English downstairs neighbour writing a novel about Margaret Thatcher. She also won’t stop narrating the show with the awful prose from her own period drama book. Anyway, what moments will make this the biggest TV-show-we-love-to-hate-watch this week? HR

    Whitstable Pearl

    9pm, U&Drama
    When an infamous food critic comes to town, restaurateur turned private detective Pearl (Kerry Godliman) hopes for a top review. It’s a shame, then, that her next case is the murder of said critic – who has been poisoned while dining at her gaff. But that’s not the only problem she’s having to juggle: her boyfriend Tom (Robert Webb) is about to propose. HR

    Film choice

    Radio Days (Woody Allen, 1987), 11.10pm, Talking Pictures TV

    Moral panics over technology aren’t anything new: radio is the youth-corrupting influence in Woody Allen’s chirpy comedy, filling the head of young Joe (Seth Green) with revved-up superhero fantasies. But that’s only one aspect of its communal power here: a string of vignettes unites Joe’s eccentric Jewish family with radio personalities in 30s and 40s Rockaway Beach. Allen narrates as the older Joe, while Dianne Wiest as Joe’s lovelorn aunt Bea and Mia Farrow as an aspiring announcer deliver standout performances. Phil Hoad
