I Kissed a Girl 9pm, BBC Three In the context of Love Island’s somewhat reductive value system, it’s a relief to have this likable dating show for LGBTQ+ women back on our screens. Dannii Minogue is once again our host as another 10 women rock up at a country estate in Italy in search of romance. The double bill begins with a party, followed by the arrival of three new contestants. Expect sparks to fly. Phil Harrison Scamanda 9pm, BBC Two It’s the concluding pair of episodes of this strange, bleak documentary about Amanda Riley, who used a fake cancer diagnosis to scam followers out of thousands of dollars. As journalist Nancy Moscatiello digs deeper, the IRS gets involved. But even as her lies unravel, Riley still insists she is ill. PH The Light in the Hall: Still Waters 9pm, Channel 4 Thrilling ... Nia Roberts as Eve Davies in The Light in the Hall: Still Waters. Photograph: Channel 4 The Wales-set psychological thriller continues to proceed at a stately pace. At the centre of it is a grieving mother, Sharon (Joanna Scanlan), whose uncompromising approach to justice is alienating her loved ones. Is journalist Cat (Alexandra Roach) another potential enemy, or a saviour? Jack Seale Rosa Elettrica 9pm, Sky Atlantic Novice witness protection cop Rosa and cocksure young Camorra informer Cocìss are still on the run from everyone as the slick Italian crime thriller continues. Might romance blossom while the pair decide to hunker down in her dad’s bombed-out rock club? Not if scene-stealer Stinky the dog has anything to do with it. Graeme Virtue The American Revolution 10pm, BBC Four This straightforward and frill-free telling of the origin story of the US continues, offering a mixture of voices from the era and informed talking heads. This time, the revolution is now a war for American independence. However, the situation is deeply precarious as Washington is forced to defend New York from a sea-bound invasion. PH It Happened to Me: I Came Back From the Dead 10.20pm, BBC Two The latest of these intriguing, straight-to-camera short documentaries features Matthew Allick, a healthy young man who experienced (and survived) a cardiac arrest that left him clinically dead for 10 minutes. It’s a fascinating look at medical trauma but disappointingly short of revelations about the afterlife – Matthew doesn’t remember anything about his prolonged flirtation with oblivion. PH Live sport World Cup football: England v Ghana , 8pm, BBC One A Group L match in Boston. Scotland v Brazil from Miami is on Wednesday at 10pm.
