Season 6 of this so-so cop show, which stars the very watchable Nathan Fillion, whose career took off with the magnificent Firefly.

Nolan now faces his biggest challenge as a police officer when he must come to terms with the choices he has made in pursuit of the truth.

Meanwhile, Nolan must survive his last shift before his wedding to Bailey.

Nottinghamshire Police turn to their Digital Forensics Unit to sift online and phone footprints and track down the culprits.

Pompeii: The New Dig, 9.00pm, BBC Two

Documentary following an archaeological excavation at the ancient Roman city, with fresco-inspired animations showing what life was like in Pompeii before the eruption.

It also explores the horror faced by the doomed residents as Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.

The dig begins with the discovery of a large brick-built oven and further investigations reveal it was part of a thriving commercial bakery, and the team discovers three bodies in a small room close to it.

Pompeii: The Mystery of the People Frozen in Time, 10.00pm, BBC Four

Documentary in which Margaret Mountford – the former Apprentice adviser has a degree in Ancient World Studies - visits the Roman town of Pompeii, where in 79AD the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius encased its citizens in lava, creating body casts that populate the ruins.

No one has yet been able to fully explain how these people became frozen in time.

So while forensic scientists peer beneath the plaster to rebuild the faces of two victims and recreate the final moments of the townsfolk, Mountford dispels the myths surrounding the events in 79AD and explores the lives of the individuals who lived in the enigmatic city.
