Divorce
Tuesday, Sky Atlantic, 10.10pm
Written by Sharon Horgan, who created the excellent Catastrophe, this new comedy series stars Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City) as Frances, a woman looking to get out of her marriage to Robert (Thomas Haden Church) and start afresh. But Frances finds that extricating herself from marital ties is not as easy as she thought. Sort of like trying to get out from under the shadow of her most iconic role.

The Missing
Wednesday, BBC One, 9pm
The first series of The Missing starred James Nesbitt and Frances O'Connor as Tony and Emily Hughes, whose five-year-old son Oliver disappeared on a family holiday in France in 2006. Eight years on, with Oliver still missing, Tony recruited retired French detective Julien Baptiste (Tcheky Karyo) to help find the truth. Series two has a new storyline and cast of characters, but Karyo returns as Det Baptiste. This time he's investigating the disappearance of a young girl, Sophie Giroux, back in 2003. When a young British woman, Alice Webster, reappears in a small German town, 11 years after going missing, Baptiste goes on the hunt for her abductor – and Alice may have some clues as to Sophie's whereabouts. Keeley Hawes and David Morrissey also starr.
