Brassic 10pm, Sky One Vinnie and the gang are back in Hawley for a second season of this comedy, negotiating a life of minor crime and major consequences. After faking his own death at the end of the last season to escape the local mobster Terence McCann, we find Vinnie (played by the show’s co-creator Joseph Gilgun) hiding out in his weed shed, with Erin (Michelle Keegan) and Tommo (Ryan Sampson) hoping to lure him back for another job – this time robbing a travelling circus. With a downtrodden clown as their inside man, what could possibly go wrong? Ammar Kalia Dame Vera Lynn: We’ll Meet Again 7.30pm, BBC One As a charity version of Vera Lynn’s rousing wartime song closes in on No 1, here is a reworked repeat of a biography first shown in 2017 to celebrate Lynn’s 100th birthday. Celebrities paying tribute to her music include Paul McCartney and Barry Humphries. Jack Seale Spring at Jimmy’s Farm 8.05pm, Channel 4 It is nature’s time to shine, and Jimmy Doherty’s Suffolk farm is bursting with all things spring-like. Without the crowds that the Easter holidays normally bring, the animals are having a peaceful time. Sheep, camels and meerkats hang out as Doherty’s team works. Hannah Verdier Devs 9pm, BBC Two After seven episodes of random – and yet also predestined – violence and betrayal, Lily (Sonoya Mizuno) finally crosses the bridge to the Devs complex, just as the algorithm foretold. Can she prove Forest (Nick Offerman) wrong about determinism? Might she even persuade him to get a nice tidy haircut, like hers? Graeme Virtue Rick and Morty 10pm, E4 Time-travelling slob-cum-scientist Rick is back for more innuendo-fuelled intergalactic adventures with his sidekick and grandson Morty. After pulling off the perfect heist and acquiring a talking dragon, the pair are set to encounter a magic animal in this second half of the fourth season. AK Murder at America’s Borders 10pm, Vice Vice travels to the border town of Arivaca, Arizona, to investigate how a civilian militia of Minutemen posed as US border guards and killed a Mexican-American father and daughter during a home invasion in 2009. We see how deeply warped patriotism motivated the horrific murders. AK Film choice Robin and Marian (Richard Lester, 1976), 12.40pm, Film4 Richard Lester, the maker of the chevaliers-rampant Musketeers movies, is in a more wistful mood in this telling of the Robin Hood legend. Sean Connery’s weary Robin returns from the crusades to confront Robert Shaw’s sheriff of Nottingham once more, but it is Audrey Hepburn’s Marian that makes the magic. Paul Howlett
