Today's TV: Life hangs in the balance in Holby City, while Ben Fogle meets North Yorkshire shepherdess Amanda Owen

THE medical drama has featured many traumatic and emotional moments over the years. While those focusing on regular patients can be pretty moving, it’s incidents involving members of staff that are usually the most gut-wrenching. And so we should get ready to shed a tear or two as Dom’s life hangs in the balance. Even if he awakes, his life will be changed forever by his injuries. While Hanssen wonders if he did the right thing, Ange is left devastated by what’s happened. Elsewhere on the ward, Sacha battles to save Jodie’s baby and Cameron announces his plans for a new career.

Graeme Hall and Butty

Dogs Behaving (C5, 8pm)

Canine expert Graeme Hall sets out to help more families with problem pooches. To be fair to Niko, the Siberian husky, he isn’t really behaving badly, he’s just terrified of staircases, which is making newlyweds Prabneet and Niles’s life very difficult indeed. Luckily, Graeme has a plan. He also has to find ways to get Luna the Labrador, who goes berserk every mealtime, and Border collie Frank, who is still grieving the loss of his doggy best friend five years after they died, back on the straight and narrow.

Alan Carr

Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr (BBC2, 8pm)

So far the wannabe professional interior designers have tackled rooms in a show home and open-plan office spaces, demonstrating along the way their visual flair, practical skill and ability to work both solo and as part of a team. Two competitors have already fallen by the wayside, and we’ll be saying goodbye to another following this week’s challenge. It sees the group travel to Sussex, where a wedding venue is in need of a revamp. It’s located in a picturesque countryside setting, so that’s an obvious place for them to draw inspiration – but will all involved be willing to stick to the brief, or are some tempted to go off piste? Michelle Ogundehin is the one who will decide how successful – or otherwise – they have been.

Anna Friel as Marcella Backland

Marcella (ITV, 9pm)

After last week’s episode, in which the detective struggled to keep going as her mental health began to suffer, it seems she’s back on a more even keel this time. At least she manages to hold it together long enough to enable her to investigate the truth about Bobby. However, her stalker is beginning to weigh heavily on her mind and she’s determined to find the villain before he or she can do some serious damage – but her efforts lead to a shocking discovery. Meanwhile, Stacey makes a last-ditch attempt to escape the family with her baby – it’s a dangerous move, and one that won’t go down well with Katherine who, let’s face it, isn’t the kind of person you want as an enemy. Anna Friel, Kelly Gough and Amanda Burton star.
