Arena: Bob Dylan – Trouble No More
10pm, BBC Four

Even for such a master of reinvention, Bob Dylan’s (short-lived) conversion to Christianity in 1979 was a step too far for many. As one fan gripes in this rare concert film, “I didn’t come here to hear sermons, I coulda went to church, man.” But this is more than a dusted-off, early-80s doc from the vaults; it’s a virtual gospel service: interspersed with the likes of Slow Train Coming – at Bob’s recommendation – are vivid sermons preached by actor Michael Shannon. Truly different, in a good way. Ali Catterall

The Nineties
9pm, Sky Arts

Tom Hanks pops up as both producer and talking head in a series that takes a very US-centric look at a turbulent decade. Later episodes will examine Bill Clinton and the rise of the internet, but this softball opener focuses on TV at a time when NYPD Blue, Twin Peaks and ER were ripping up the rulebook. Graeme Virtue

Episodes
10pm, BBC Two

Back for a fifth series, Matt’s show The Box (a sexist, American version of The Cube with a killer production budget) is a huge hit. Once a big-time actor, he struggles with his “shittier” gameshow-host identity. Meanwhile, Beverly fantasises about being a widow, and tries to coax Carol out of the house. Candice Carty-Williams

Lee and Dean
10pm, Channel 4

A crass mockumentary about two builders who are lifelong best friends: one laddish, the other childlike and strange. The writing and performances are so unsophisticated that, whether or not it’s what was intended, it looks as if we’re being invited to laugh at working-class culture, and at some vulnerable characters.

The Scariest Night of My Life
10pm, Really

Imported doc telling tales of paranormal panic. Tonight’s opener features Gloria, whose demonic tenant left her frozen in fear while her children slept alongside her. That’s followed by JP, who suffered a night of terror at his new home in Toronto. Boilerplate spookiness that will leave you lamenting a wasted hour. Mark Gibbings-Jones

Rob Beckett’s Playing for Time
11.15pm, Channel 4

Beckett’s new show is GamesMaster meets Back in Time for Dinner. He must make his way back to the present day by completing an iconic video game challenge in each year he lands in. This week’s guest, Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt, has some relevant screen-within-screen experience. Ellen E Jones

Spider-Man: Homecoming

11.05am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

Tom Holland dons the mask for Jon Watts’s fresh and funny reboot. Holland’s Peter Parker turns out to be a wise-cracking teen, living with Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), fancying classmate Liz (Laura Harrier) and battling Michael Keaton’s blue-collar villain Vulture. Paul Howlett
