The Gone

9pm, BBC Two
This New Zealand/Ireland-set crime drama moves slowly at times – Aileen and Derry’s wander through the woods in this episode may try your patience somewhat – but it’s still darkly intriguing.

FBI

9pm, Sky Witness
Here’s a seventh season of a straight procedural co-created by Dick Wolf of Law & Order fame. That means pacy storytelling with minimal flair, though the stakes feel big in the new run’s opener, as a car bomb on a New York bridge sends the FBI on a trail that leads to an assassination plot with Iranian involvement – and a departure from the cast.
