TV tonight: back to Nonnatus House in Call the Midwife

Call the Midwife

8pm, BBC One

We’re back at Nonnatus House for the 10th series of this sedate BBC drama staple, now reaching 1966. A momentous year for more than just English football, we open with Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) deciding whether a nearby private clinic might help keep Nonnatus House afloat, while the birth of a baby boy with no legs below the knees leads Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) to worry that this could be another Thalidomide case. And Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt) continues to reckon with her crisis of faith. Ammar Kalia

Climate Change: Ade on the Frontline

With Kate Kane having mysteriously disappeared – leaving her Batsuit behind – it’s now up to homeless Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) to find it in a Gotham back alley and subsequently use it as armour against vicious street gang the False Face Society.

Film choice

Bill, 3.05pm, BBC One

The most excellent Horrible Histories and Ghosts crew fill in the gaps in William Shakespeare’s life story in this smart, gag-heavy comedy. Mathew Baynton plays Bill, who comes to London to become a famous playwright but gets caught up in a plot against Elizabeth I. As usual, the ensemble have fun as multiple characters. Simon Wardell
