Flight MH370 Five Years On: The Mystery Continues
9pm, Channel 5
In the five years since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, other planes have been lost and found, but MH370 and every single one of the 239 people on board remain missing. This documentary sorts through the theories and charts the search. Can hi-tech hydrophones and cutting-edge submersibles provide an answer? Or is MH370 doomed to be one more of the ocean’s many unsolved mysteries?

Fast and injurious: Sky’s daft drama about a deadly street race in a totalitarian UK nominally takes place over one berserk night, which means lots of flashbacks to fill out the backstories of its sprawling cast. Tonight we learn how pregnant moll Faith (Rose Williams) fell in with Sean Bean’s amusingly short-fused heavy.

9pm, Sky Arts
In the first of a new series of encounters with some of music’s biggest names, the AC/DC frontman talks touring with country royalty Dolly Parton. It offers a welcome helping of the downhome southern wit and wisdom we have grown used to from the singer and movie star. MB

Among a slew of recent buy-ins from the self-consciously wacky US cable channel Adult Swim is this loose comedy, set in a decrepit medical facility that explores its patients’ dreams. It’s worth a look for its use of rotoscoping, which brings artistry to sequences that might otherwise feel like a random brain dump.

There is a satisfyingly bold sweep to Deepa Mehta’s screening of Salman Rushdie’s novel, which is adapted and narrated by the author himself. It’s the story of two babies swapped at birth at the moment India gains independence in 1947; their identities mirror the struggles of their nation.
