Best TV shows on TV tonight
The Power of Parker, 9:30 pm, BBC One
Apparently Conleth Hill, Sian Gibson and Rosie Cavaliero couldn’t get through tonight’s opening scene without giggling - and when you watch it, you’ll see why! It’s the morning after the night before, and while electrical stores boss Martin (Conleth) discovers an obscene etching on his car and Kath (Sian) wakes up hungover and full of regret, Diane (Rosie) comes away from a visit to her daughter’s school with the realisation that Martin has been lying.
After being evicted, mobile hairdresser Kath moves in with Gladys (Sheila Reid) at the retirement home - but as she tells her new pals all about about her tragic love life, a few more secrets are about to be spilled...

Riches, 9 pm, ITV1
Nina finally managed to discover the identity of the thief who’s been syphoning off Flair & Glory’s cash last week, but catching them will be another matter as this Dallas-style family saga comes to a close tonight.
Hopefully she can count on her stepmother, Claudia, for support and with a range of villains – both inside and outside of the firm – trying to steal a piece of their pie, it’s clear the extended Richards clan are far more powerful united. Yet there are some juicy twists still to come, as Abby Ajayi’s drama gears up for a second series.
★★★★ SMA
Millionaire Hoarders, 8 pm, Channel 4
Britain is home to hordes of obsessive collectors and in this documentary we see four experts rifle through homes packed with treasures to find hidden gems that can be sold for life-changing amounts. First up, antiques dealer Clive and collector Ronnie visit a castle in Scotland filled to the brim with antiques, books and manuscripts.
And there’s astonishment from Ronnie when he unearths what appears to be a John Constable painting that could be worth between £1m and £2m. Meanwhile, fashion expert Paula looks through an incredible vintage clothes collection in an East London studio flat.

He desperately wants his grandson to win the award and, as he lists the kindhearted youngster’s many caring qualities, Lee finds himself in an awkward situation…
