Black Ops BBC1, 9.30pm

When they first began posing as drug dealers, undercover cops Dom and Kay had Clinton on hand to make sure they could bring in the cash. Now he’s been murdered though, our hapless heroes realise they are going to have start selling narcotics for real, and the gang won’t accept any shortfall. As if the idea of pushing illegal substances wasn’t daunting enough, someone steals their stash, meaning they are going to come up with another £3,000 before the payment deadline. Dom resorts to selling all her worldly goods, but Kay has nothing to flog - although he does have access to the money his Youth Pastor Tomi (Lucian Msamati) has been raising to record an album of gospel rap. Can Dom persuade Kay that Tomi is a scam artist who deserves to be ripped off, or will they both be looking for a faith healer after having their legs broken?

Hidden Treasures of the National Trust BBC2, 9pm

The second episode of the documentar­y series looks at the work that goes into perseverin­g two historic homes in the south of England, which both have a literary connection. Sissinghur­st Castle in Kent was in a sorry state before writer Vita Sackville-West and her diplomat and author husband Harold Nicolson bought it in 1930. They transforme­d it into a family home and writers’ haven with a worldrenow­ned garden, but preserving the house and grounds is proving tricky thanks to a collapsed ceiling and a troublesom­e clematis. Twelve miles away lies Bateman’s, a Jacobean manor where Rudyard Kipling lived from 1902 until his death in 1936.
