Like many couples, Beth and Laura went to northern Cyprus for separate IVF treatments and chose the same sperm donor for their two children. But DNA test results later suggested the siblings were not blood-related. In this astonishing investigation, Anna Collinson asks: “Have loose rules and little regulation led to wrongdoing?” She speaks with the brother and sister, and learns they are not the only family affected.

This Is Not a Murder Mystery

8pm, U&Drama

The sumptuous 1930s-set whodunnit featuring Salvador Dalí, Lee Miller, Max Ernst and other notable artists reaches its finale. With the prime suspect banged up, the surrealist exhibition at West Dean can finally have its grand opening. But René Magritte suspects there is still more to the case than meets the eye.

Amandaland

9pm, BBC One

More from the perfect Lucy Punch-led sitcom. Amanda needs glasses, but that is the least of her worries about ageing. Mum Felicity (Joanna Lumley) has offered to help her buy a house – but there is a catch, which involves telling a bit of a porky. Elsewhere, some shocking news for Anne literally knocks her off her seat. HR

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

With Jamie still missing, Pip (Emma Myers) and Connor (Jude Morgan-Collie) meet his drug dealer for answers, but are surprised to learn who else is a customer. Elsewhere in the plucky crime drama, Ravi (Zain Iqbal) makes his feelings for Pip clear, while she toys with a recording that could prove crucial for the Max Hastings trial. Nicole Vassell

Only Child

Ken is having Beth over for dinner and Richard has a simple request: “Do not mention that me and Emily kissed.” After having had this explained to him at least five times, will Ken keep the secret? Especially as Emily has popped round, too. Another touching and funny episode of the Scottish father/son sitcom. HR

Peelers: The PSNI for Real

10pm, BBC Two

The visceral, dramatic Belfast police documentary series reaches its penultimate episode. This time, Perri and Adam respond to reports of cars doing dangerous stunts on the street. But there is a big, volatile crowd to negotiate before they can get close to the offenders. Phil Harrison
