The meticulous high-risk work carried out by hospital surgeons is shown in unflinching detail. Plus: is love hiding close to home in Amandaland? Here’s what to watch this evening. 9pm, BBC Two. Not one for the faint-hearted: it’s the return of the fly-on-the-wall hospital series that doesn’t flinch from showing every detail of the remarkable work carried out during high-risk surgeries. We’re in Edinburgh this time, where 21-year-old law student Sania has an inflamed pancreas and needs an auto-transplant – which involves removing it and reconstructing her digestive tract. It’s a complex procedure that has only been conducted in Scotland three times. Edge-of-your-seat stuff, if you can stomach it. Hollie Richardson.

9pm, BBC One. Amanda (Lucy Punch) has a date! “Don’t tell him you have children,” is the top advice dealt out by her mother, ,Felicity (Joanna Lumley). Amanda thinks she’s hit the jackpot, when her date turns out to have a penthouse and isn’t wearing a wedding ring. But is the potential for love hiding in plain sight closer to home? HR.

9pm, ITV1. Series nine concludes in style. As concerns grow for Daniel (Oliver Dimsdale), the case of the week – an accountant who has supposedly killed himself – soon leads to the reveal of a proper villain who puts everyone in peril. The heightened emotions allow for more than one tear-inducing payoff before the credits roll. Jack Seale.

9.30pm, BBC One. There’s a folk-horror thread running through the most unreasonably entertaining show on British TV. Nic (Daisy May Cooper) has been roped into appearing at the village witch trial, while Ollie (Lenny Rush) stands accused of being a budding Jeffrey Dahmer. Will either beat the charges? Ellen E Jones.

10pm, BBC Two. An Isle of Wight holiday to see your future in-laws: how bad could it be? Poor Esther (Susannah Fielding) is finding out, as the eccentric family sitcom continues. Day five involves dealing with yet more beautifully banal small talk and prickly questions about her nuptials. Will her relationship with the bumbling Simon (co-creator Joe Wilkinson) survive? Graeme Virtue.

10pm, BBC Four. The actor reflects on the making of the 1983 adaptation of novelist Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s classic, shortly before it’s shown over the following three hours. Hopefully, by the end of that time, you’ll remember it, too. Alexi Duggins.
