Barbra Streisand: Becoming an Icon 1942-1984
9pm, BBC Four
A skilfully assembled look at the early life and career of one of the greatest musical stars of the 20th century, following Streisand from a deprived childhood in pre-boho Williamsburg to the worldwide success of Yentl in 1983, the first film to feature a woman as writer-director-producer-star. The most interesting commentary comes from the writer Camille Paglia, who points out her “uncompromising Jewishness” and says: “At her best she is like divination to me.” Mike Bradley

Ministry of Justice
11.05pm, Channel 4
The comedy series that finds absurd humour in the UK’s reactionary approach to law and order continues, with satirical activists Jolyon Rubinstein and Heydon Prowse – who sharpened their skills on BBC Three’s The Revolution Will Be Televised – putting their own spin on knife crime, ticket touts and online trolling.

Disconnect 12.20am, BBC One
