TV tonight: Richard Flood returns in New Zealand thriller The Gone

9pm, BBC Two 'We believe no connection exists between recent events and the Goat Man killings.' In the first season of this crime drama, Theo Richter (Richard Flood), an Irish detective in New Zealand, teamed up with a Māori counterpart, Diana Huia (Acushla-Tara Kupe), to solve the case of a missing Irish couple. As the show returns, two people are on trial for murder. But Theo can't leave just yet – an Irish journalist, Aileen Ryan (Carolyn Bracken), is missing. As they look for her, the town speculates over the historical 'mountain murders' that were never solved. Hollie Richardson 8pm, BBC One Can luxury skincare ever come with an affordable price tag? One entrepreneur reckons she knows enough about beauty to make it happen. Other ideas being pitched: a virtual present‑giving app and T-shirts for neurodivergent people. HR 8pm, BBC Two Another series of the lifeboat rescue show – starting with a 4.50am response call to a small boat crossing the Channel, followed quickly by news of a vessel capsizing with 20 people in it. Meanwhile, in Northumberland, two fishers have gone missing. HR 8.30pm, ITV1 The latest leg of a tasty road trip is dedicated to bounty from Spanish trees, starting in Valencia, where there are new varieties of citrus fruits to try.

Jack Seale 9pm, Channel 4 Hurrah for Rob Rinder, resuming his history teacher beat. This time, he is working with the historian Dr Fern Riddell, who has a theory that Queen Victoria may have had a child with her Highland servant John Brown after Albert's death. The show follows four years of her research, which utilises archives that have not been seen for 160 years. HR 9pm, Sky Max The comedy that won Danny Dyer a Bafta roars on. The reunited brothers Lee (Dyer) and Glen (the series' creator, Ryan Sampson) continue searching for their long‑lost father. It's all about the digressions, though, which this week take Glen on a tour of gay cruising haunts in his new role as a romantic fixer: 'If you want a bit of saveloy, you've got to get amongst it!' JS
