TEN, 9pm

Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym, pictured) demonstrates just how special she is in tonight’s stuntlled o ering. Dedicated to her job – enforcing the law and locking up the bad guys – not even having to ride the hood of a car can dissuade her. As any fan knows, the suspension of disbelief becomes second nature when it comes to our favourite gutsy FBI personnel, but there’s only so far the imagination will stretch. In “Stay in Your Lane” OA (Zeeko Zaki) is absolutely smitten with his wealthy, beautiful new love interest, but even a novice FBI watcher will suspect his elation seems to good to be true. Meanwhile, the team tackles a dangerous case involving the murder of a local club owner.

STANLEY TUCCI: SEARCHING FOR ITALY

SBS, 8.30pm

Actor Stanley Tucci (pictured) has all the charm of a leading man as host of this breezy travel series. Adorned with curiosity and The Devil Wears Prada star has amiably eaten and chatted his way through his ancestral country. Tonight, the nal episode of season two arrives and it could be Tucci’s nal junket through Italy, at least for this series. On this nal itinerary is one of the most famous and frequented regions of Italy: Liguria, also known as the Italian Riveria. It’s a scenic way for this gastronomic delight to bow out, but given Tucci’s conspicuous air as a travel guide, don’t be surprised if he pops up in another gorgeous location sometime soon.

This ironically named series comes to a dramatic and ery conclusion tonight. Set seven years since we checked in with Sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire), this follow-up has been well worth the wait. Cawood is close to retirement, with grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah) now 16 and secretly in contact with his murderous father Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton, Grantchester, pictured). With Royce now on the run, tonight’s thrilling nale sees scores settled for good. Emotions run high as Ryan is interviewed by the police and Catherine’s grief for Becky bubbles to the surface, putting her on track for a ery nal showdown with Royce. 1904
