Colin from Accounts<\/p>\n
10pm, BBC Two<\/strong><\/p>\n Three years have passed since Gordon\u2019s misjudged proposal and the final season of this miraculous Aussie sitcom gets off to a melancholy start. Gordon and Ashley have unsatisfactory new partners and the brewery is struggling. Still, at least Colin seems well. A chance encounter brings the pair together again and the feelings are still strong, but there\u2019s baggage to discard first. It\u2019s not without plotting contrivances but, crucially, continues to feel wonderfully messy and real in emotional terms. The comedy and drama balance immaculately and the chemistry between Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer is as perfect as you\u2019d expect from a real-life couple. Still the sweetest thing on TV.

<\/strong>A quarter of a century after the 2001 attacks on the US, the origin stories of the perpetrators remain far from settled. This documentary explores the implications of thousands of newly released documents that, some argue, suggest the involvement of the Saudi Arabian government. The revelations centre on Omar al-Bayoumi, who has been accused of being a middle man between the Saudis and the first two hijackers (al-Bayoumi and the Saudi government deny these claims). PH<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Fred from the First Dates restaurant, TV\u2019s favourite ma\u00eetre d\u2019, continues his fancy hotel tour in a South African safari lodge. But service is never far from his mind, as he offers to help the team prepare a \u201cbush braai\u201d outdoor barbecue. There\u2019s also time for an encounter with an elephant.

<\/strong>Amol Rajan hosts another brain-off between two student teams: Birmingham and an adorably chaotic quartet from Leicester. Highlights include a spectacular mishearing of a famous novel\u2019s title and a classics question that\u2019s much easier than it would have been a few years ago. Jack Seale<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Another new series of copaganda, this one exploring the aftermath of 999 calls. It begins with a fascinating case: a train passenger has noticed something deeply troubling on a fellow traveller\u2019s phone and informed the police. The unfolding investigation is bigger than anyone could have expected, involving a network of child exploitation. PH<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Douglas Sirk\u2019s melodrama is remarkable in that it bats around a number of knotty, topical questions about racism, sexism and class but is also a powerfully intimate drama about the bond between two mothers and their daughters. Lana Turner headlines as actor Lora, whose independent spirit leads to theatre fame, despite being a single parent to Sandra Dee\u2019s Susie. But it\u2019s the other pairing that provides the main dramatic force: Juanita Moore as Annie, Lora\u2019s Black maid, and Susan Kohner as her unhappy child Sarah Jane, who can, fatefully, pass for white.
