Sundar Pichai: Running the Google Empire
BBC Two/iPlayer, 7pm
Four years after Amol Rajan failed to pierce the nice-guy carapace of Sundar Pichai, the Google CEO returns for another grilling on the BBC, doubtless fielding questions on privacy, AI and Donald Trump.
The Good Life
BBC Four/iPlayer, 8pm
While the greatest sitcoms bow out on their own terms, The Good Life is an exception: after a fine, unsettling finale in 1977 (and inevitable Christmas special), cast and crew were reunited for this 1978 coda in front of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, with Tom and Barbara (Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal) reconsidering their retirement plans. A footnote, but a charming one.
Cooper & Fry
Channel 5, 8pm
While Channel 5’s commitment to new drama is admirable, quality can be erratic: Cooper & Fry, adapted from Stephen Booth’s crime novels, is anaemic, unremarkable fare. Rob James-Collier and Mandeep Gill are the customary mismatched coppers with complicated personal lives, tackling a murder case mired in superstition and folklore, but this sags well before the end of its two-hour runtime.
Sandi Toksvig’s Hidden Wonders
More4, 9pm
While Bettany Hughes gets the sun-kissed gigs abroad (see Saturday), Sandi Toskvig and Raksha Dave are off to Hadrian’s Wall and the Roman site of Magna Fort, where archaeologists continue to make intriguing discoveries about the Roman Empire’s northernmost outpost.
In My Own Words: Yinka Shonibare
BBC One, 10.40pm; all episodes are already available on iPlayer

Yinka Shonibare tells his story through archive footage that leaves him both moved and amused, looking back on childhood, paralysis, the world of the Young British Artists and his piece for Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth.
