The young criminals
9.30pm, BBC One
Peter Foote’s quirky coming-of-age comedy set in Cork continues its fourth series as Connor (Alex Murphy) returns to school to try and pass his leaving exams – all in a bid to impress ex Linda . Present a very funny (and often touching) course of lessons with traumatized ex-teacher Barry. Holly Richardson
Granite Harbor
8pm, BBC One
The three-car pile-up that closed last week’s episode temporarily deflected criticism that the Aberdeen-based crime series was rather pedestrian. As various characters limp through the woods and struggle to get a phone signal in this finale, however, the chase and collision aren’t scenes that will stick in the memory for too long. Jack Seal
The world of gardeners
8pm, BBC Two
After last week’s stint at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, the green-fingered perennial is back to digging its regular row. Monty Don has several new flower beds that need planting, but is also considering how best to grow Himalayan poppies; there’s also a look at some Scottish dahlias heading to Chelsea. Graham Vertue
Double the money
20:00, Channel 4
Hosted by Sue Perkins, the entrepreneurial competition continues with this week’s contestants trying to turn one sum into two in seven days. A poignantly upbeat father and son in Bournemouth run a game of hookah while two friends host that traditional money-spinner: an erotic art workshop in an industrial estate. Phil Harrison
The National Trust’s Hidden Treasures
9pm, BBC Two
More fun tours around National Trust properties: this time two estates outside of London. First, there is Cliveden House, gifted by William Waldorf Astor to his son and his new wife, Nancy Astor, on their wedding day. Next is a visit to Polesden Lacey in Surrey. HR
Sue Perkins: Lost in Thailand
21:00, Channel 5
Perkins makes his debut in the second part of his Thailand adventure, diving into the waters of the Andaman Sea. There she becomes involved in what must be the world’s most picturesque scavenging scene – on a coral reef. HR
Movie selection
Bad Girls (Mark Waters, 2004), 12:05 p.m., Channel 4
Since the musical remake definitely doesn’t make “fetching” happen, here’s the 2004 original to show how teenage (movie) royalty do it. Along with its comic book richness, Tina Fey’s script has a keen sense of how ridiculous—yet vital—high school status can be. Lindsay Lohan plays Cady, a rookie who’s a math geek but also a “regulation junkie” — so she joins the top-level Plastics clique run by Rachel McAdams’ Regina George. Cady’s plans to take them down hit a snag when she is seduced by the respect and fear her new position affords her. Simon Wardell
