Philomena Cunk returns to BBC Two to take apart the history of cinema

Philomena Cunk returns to BBC Two at 10pm tonight with Cunk on Cinema, her mock-serious tour through film history. Diane Morgan, fresh from her comedy Ann Droid, revives the faux-bewildered persona that has carried her, as reviewer Phil Harrison puts it, on a "stealthy ascent to national treasure status."

The show opens with a typically wrongheaded Cunk pronouncement: "For centuries, eyes were useless. Because there was nothing worth looking at." From there, the lesson in film history mixes comic misinformation with straight-faced contributions from film historian Mark Cousins and Benedict Cumberbatch — who, Harrison writes, "are surely in on the joke?"

What else is on tonight?

Aldi: The Next Big Seller, 8pm, Channel 4. Priya Elan compares the format to Dragon's Den for foodies: six teams compete for a contract supplying Aldi. This week's sweet-treats category includes makers of traditional Indian barfi and a woman who crafts chocolates shaped like slugs. Anita Rani judges.

Shetland, 9pm, BBC One. The Scottish crime drama opens its 11th series with a car pulled from the water. The boot's contents turn the case over to detectives Calder and Tosh, played by Ashley Jensen and Alison O'Donnell. Harrison calls it "gripping in its customary downbeat way."

Rise of the Rockstar Chef, 9pm, BBC Two. Ali Catterall's series swaggers into the 1990s, through Britpop and lucrative TV deals. Marco Pierre White and his former protégé Gordon Ramsay go to war, while a young Heston Blumenthal undercuts them both by bringing chemistry kits into the kitchen. "I wasn't trying to break the rules," he says, "I just learned to question them."

The Good Daughter, 9pm, Sky Atlantic. Meghann Fahy and Rose Byrne star as sisters Charlotte and Samantha, still scarred by a violent childhood event as a present-day horror pulls them back into their past. Harrison describes a grim story of modern America — gun crime, police brutality, traumatised kids — told through one family's emotional trajectory.

AI: Probably Nothing to Worry About, 10pm, Channel 4. A two-and-a-half-hour documentary on humanity's would-be "scourge/saviour." The pitch is the irony that sci-fi writers predicted AI for decades, yet everyone seems amazed by the reality. Two of the field's pioneers, Geoffrey Hinton and Demis Hassabis, contribute.

Live sport

• England v Croatia, Uefa Nations League football, 7pm, ITV1 — the penultimate Group A3 match, at Wembley Stadium.
• Australia v England, first of three One-Day International cricket matches, 3.30am, HBO Max, from Perth.

What does the night add up to?

It's a strong evening for returning formats. Cunk's comeback gives BBC Two its headline draw, while Shetland reaching an 11th series underlines how reliably the BBC One drama retains its audience — and Channel 4's marathon AI film gives anyone curious about Hinton and Hassabis a rare prime-ish slot for a serious, long-form subject.
