TV tonight: romance and rows with the Kardashian clan

Keeping Up With the Kardashians

9pm, E!

The world’s most famous reality TV clan are back for an 18th season of feuding, romance and social media influencing. With last season featuring an unusually high dose of drama; namely Kim threatening to fire her sister Kourtney from the show, owing to her “lack of commitment” in not letting the cameras obsessively document her life, this series kicks off with another sisterly feud, this time focused on Kim getting a little too close to Khloe’s ex. An escapist dose of low-stakes melodrama and high-value individuals. Ammar Kalia

Secrets of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings

The Nest

9pm, BBC One

This is not so much a drama as a rising panic attack. The rich couple (Martin Compston and Sophie Rundle) who want a baby are now living with their teen surrogate (Mirren Mack), intensifying the show’s class war theme, which it wields like a machete. Tonight, we learn the young cuckoo is more than merely angry. Jack Seale

Belgravia

“Scented degenerate” isn’t a phrase that’s used enough these days, but that’s one way to describe Charles Pope, who’s getting his feet under the table as a match for Lady Maria. Elsewhere in the toff period drama, Susan is flirting with a trip to Isleworth, James is making deals and Stephen’s bloodied face is peeping through keyholes. Hannah Verdier

The Homesman, 12.10am, BBC Two

This story of a craggy old frontiersman (Tommy Lee Jones) helping the resilient Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank) to escort three women back east to civilisation was hailed as a feminist western, then criticised for being no such thing. It’s nevertheless a compelling tale. Paul Howlett
