TV tonight: unpicking Andy Warhol’s obsession with death – particularly his own

Andy Warhol’s America reveals how the artist reacted to being shot and his mother dying. Plus: Peter Jones has an erotic surprise in Dragons’ Den. Here’s what to watch this evening

Andy Warhol’s America

9pm, BBC Two

The third and final instalment of this stylish, well-contextualised and thoroughly detailed look at the influential artist’s life focuses on death – or rather Warhol’s obsession with it and the huge theme it became in his later work, especially after he was shot and also his mother died. If culture vultures missed the previous episodes, it’s well worth catching up with them on iPlayer. Hollie Richardson

Dragons’ Den

8pm, BBC One

Have you ever wondered if Peter Jones would be any good at narrating erotic audiobooks? There is the rare chance to find out tonight as the veteran Dragon assesses a range of vegan leather handbags that include a saucy twist. Elsewhere, the fiery five size up pitches including a hard-partying summer camp concept, and a new home delivery app. Graeme Virtue

8pm, Channel 4

In the matchmaking doghouse tonight: chihuahuas Bear and Dave try to impress seven-year-old Ollie (who would prefer a husky), while shy jack russell Roxy takes on stubborn beagle Dexter – which one will go home with 85-year-old Pim? HR

Bangers and Cash

8pm, Yesterday

A new series of wheeler-dealing with the Yorkshire classic car traders, and Derek Mathewson is rubbing shoulders with minor pop royalty, picking up a Morgan Plus 8 belonging to 60s heartthrob Joe Brown. Even more excitingly, he is buying a roadster once owned by the drummer from Motörhead. Plenty of miles on the clock, you’d imagine. Phil Harrison

Screw

9pm, Channel 4

Three episodes into this prison-based supposed comedy-drama, it’s probably time to accept that there are few laughs amid the tense music, angsty prison officers and plots that deal with radicalisation, gun smuggling and child death. Luckily, there’s more than enough gripping, moody and occasionally inspirational drama to make up for it. Alexi Duggins

And Just Like That …

9pm, Sky Comedy

It is often hard to root for Carrie when she complains about things such as her downtown penthouse getting so much natural light that it’s “like the sun” – but we fans remain addicted to the Sex and the City spin-off. Tonight’s episode sees Miranda having a serious think about her future with Steve. Meanwhile, Carrie is doing her best to prove to her young neighbour that she’s still “cool”. HR
