TV tonight: Amandaland is back – and its star is as insufferable as ever

Amandaland

9pm, BBC One

It’s so good to have Lucy Punch’s insufferable but hilarious Amanda back for a second season. Still not satisfied with downsizing in south Harlesden (or “SoHa”) after her divorce, she pushes forward with her new venture – publishing “aspirational content” online – with best pal Anne (Philippa Dunne) and judgmental mother Felicity (Joanna Lumley). Her first obstacle of the season comes in the form of new rival Abs (Harriet Webb) at a careers talk. Hollie Richardson

The creator of a dating app is found dead at the bottom of a cliff, but was her demise self-inflicted? An unsigned prenup and secret drug habit come to light, making this seem unlikely. The second episode of this cosy crime caper is heavy on Italian cliches (lots of closeups of ripe lemons) but easy on the eye. Priya Elan

Salisbury Poisonings: The Untold Story

9pm, Channel 4
Episode two of this hair-raising documentary shows just how close the city of Salisbury came to suffering a devastating catastrophe in 2018. With the original victims of the Russian novichok attack being treated, army agents and the local authorities work round the clock to prevent the poison from being spread more widely. Phil Harrison

Only Child

9.30pm, BBC One
The first series of this solidly funny, surprisingly poignant comedy ended with actor Richard (Greg McHugh) leaving his dad, Ken (Gregor Fisher), for a big TV part in Norway. But don’t expect a glamorous Scandi-set series two: Richard is back in Forres on the Moray coast after being fired, and hiding out from crush Emily (to whom he’s still sending “on set” photos), while helping his dad save the local allotments.
