Best TV shows on TV tonight
The Power of Parker, 9:30 pm, BBC One
One of the joys of this series is the sense that everyone involved clearly had fun making it – perhaps none more so than Rosie Cavaliero, who tonight steals the show, as Diane and Martin (Conleth Hill) attend a Rotary Club dinner and Diane has a bit too much to drink. Meanwhile, Kath (Sian Gibson) attempts an audacious heist at Parker’s Electricals.

Susan Calman's Summer By The Sea, 8 pm, Channel 5
You don’t want to be watching this hungry as Susan’s final summertime stay involves lots of tuck: fish and chips from the world’s largest chippy; cider from the ‘smallest pub on the planet’; doughnuts and ice cream on the promenade; and, curiously, Melba toast – the signature snack of Cleethorpes’ 1920s Kingsway Hotel, where Susan’s checked in.
The Lincolnshire seaside town boasts a huge golden beach, a light railway, kite fliers, Morris dancers and a lake, where Susan joins Les Dennis for some model boating. Grimsby is also on her itinerary and, while there, she reveals a little secret from her Strictly days with Kevin Clifton…
★★★ MC
The Reunion, 9 pm, ITV1
With the net closing in on Thomas (Ioan Gruffudd) and Maxime (Grégory Fitoussi), there’s yet another twist in store when Thomas makes the shocking discovery that his mother Annabelle (Dervla Kirwan) has been having a decades-long affair with Francis (Cosimo Fusco), which has major repercussions for both Thomas and Maxime.
But there’s no time for Thomas to process the shock, because Francis is being held hostage and Maxime is on a dangerous mission to find him before
it’s too late…

Harlan Coben's Shelter, Prime Video
In Shelter, Mickey Bolitar survives the car crash that kills his father and puts his mother in hospital. While she recovers from her injuries in rehab, he goes to live with his estranged Aunt Shira (Entourage’s Constance Zimmer) in the quiet suburban town of Kasselton, New Jersey.
