Conservationist’s personal and moving documentary follows big cat clan in northern India. Plus: a forensics team heads to a murder scene. Here’s what to watch tonight

9pm, BBC TwoTigers, it seems, get their claws into you. This documentary is a very personal reminiscence from film-maker Valmik Thapar who, decades ago, left Delhi behind and headed for India’s northern tiger reserve of Ranthambore. He never left. Instead, he filmed generations of tigers as they were born, had families, were menaced by poachers and eventually thrived. It’s a fascinating and moving record of a life well lived. Phil Harrison

8pm, Sky ArtsA new series of Ian Nathan’s engaging film histories begins with David Lean’s masterpiece. It is often described as the most romantic film of all time, but did its story of transient, forbidden love strike a chord because of its timing? Released in 1945, it marked the end of fear and uncertainty, but also a return to normality after the second world war. And what role did the hidden sexuality of its writer, Noël Coward, play in its themes? Phil Harrison

Matt Frei looks at how Kamala Harris has shaken up the US election. Plus: Irvine Welsh’s Crime returns. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, Channel 4With less than four months to go until polling day, the US presidential race has suddenly become very interesting indeed. Joe Biden’s withdrawal has seemingly supercharged Democrat hopes of averting the catastrophe of a second Donald Trump term. Kamala Harris presents a very different kind of challenge and suddenly Trump is the candidate looking elderly and vulnerable. Matt Frei presents this documentary exploring the race. What does Harris stand for? Will the Republicans have to completely rethink their campaign, thanks to her arrival? And what on earth was Trump thinking when he chose the abrasive, charmless JD Vance as his running mate? Phil Harrison

There is William, a 24-year-old who has never kissed a girl and is on his first date; Glen, who, rather boldly, compares himself to Christian “Fifty Shades” Grey; and, perhaps most memorably, Sarah, who has a pornographic Marge Simpson tattoo on her arm and is looking for “someone who’s not an arsehole”. Good times await. Phil Harrison

The focus is on zombie-slaying Daryl Dixon this time. Plus, Miriam Margolyes is at her sweary best on a trip down under. Here’s what to watch this evening

10.30pm, Sky MaxTo anyone in the minority who has never glimpsed a single second of The Walking Dead (ahem), this spin-off just seems to be a lot of a near-silent Norman Reedus brooding in an apocalyptic France while nonchalantly killing a zombie here and there. Fans of the franchise will probably be pleased to hear it focuses on Daryl – who meets a cast including Clémence Poésy as he tries to find his way home. Hollie Richardson
