To help
9 p.m., Canal 4
“Gloria has a cough. A priori, innocuous words. But horribly disturbing in a nursing home in early 2020. Initially, this devastating Jack Thorne and Marc Munden drama centers around the sweet and beautifully rendered relationship between Jodie Comer’s rookie nurse Sarah and Tony (Stephen Graham), who has an early onset of Alzheimer’s disease. However, it is expanding to accommodate the impossible situation that caregivers and their patients face during Covid. Simmering with anger but obviously full of love for the people in the Eye of the Storm. Phil harrison

All creatures big and small
9 p.m., channel 5
The secret to this successful reboot of the bucolic ’70s classic is its reluctance to stray too far from the original formula. As a new series begins, a former mentor makes James a tempting offer. But don’t be too surprised if the allure of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales remains too strong to resist. PH
Gordon Ramsay: The Texas Throwdown
9 p.m., National Geographic
A shameless macho travelogue that manages to be moderately entertaining despite very few intact Texan clichés. Tonight, guest chef Ramsay dons his cowboy hat, rides a horse called Mouse, laughs at the bean-less chili, and tries to catch a rattlesnake. PH

Sandi Toksvig’s S-based series continues with secrets, spies and detectives.
