Unreported World
7.30pm, Channel 4
In Bangladesh, acid attacks on women are on the rise. In tonight’s edition of the investigative series, Giles Duley meets one of the victims of this phenomenon – where men who are unable to understand female independence are driven to acts of violence. Eighteen-year-old Shumi has been in a survivors’ clinic for nine months: her ex attacked her when she turned down his marriage proposal. Can she be persuaded to venture out in a country where there is one such attack a week – and only 10% are followed by convictions? John Robinson
Concerto – A Beethoven Journey
7.30pm, BBC4
We forget much great art; not forget it exists, but forget to pay it proper attention, and regard it as part of the furniture. This charming film records what happened when Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes confronted this complacency regarding one occupant of the pantheon. In 2011, he decided that he would devote the next four years exclusively to Beethoven – specifically, the composer’s five piano concertos. Andsnes proves as adroit a guide as he is a musician; you’ll hear these as if for the first time. Andrew Mueller
The CIA Kennedy Killing: Conspiracy
8pm, Channel 5
With the sound of gunfire used to emphasise bullet points in the narrative and crass reconstructions of assassinations, this show salivatingly examines a handful of high-profile deaths and wonders if governments, not individuals, were responsible. Did the British secret services kill David Kelly? A Serbian hitman Jill Dando? And was Sirhan Sirhan, jailed for killing Robert Kennedy, a CIA stooge? If there’s any truth to these allegations, you can be sure Channel 5 will unearth them. David Stubbs
The Returned
9pm, More4
This week, we learn how Pierre, the outwardly benign proprietor of the Helping Hand, is connected to Victor and the fate of his parents 35 years ago in that bungled burglary. Meanwhile, in the creepy village, Camille tries to explain to the recently returned Audrey and Esteban what has happened to them. And you thought Serge was sinister? Wait until you meet his dad, Milan: burly, ginger and very much dead. The season two opener was somewhat inscrutable, and you might still be scratching your head after this one, too. Ben Arnold
The Paras: Making the Cut
9pm, Quest
The series following the training of British paratroopers continues with a double bill that finds the wannabe elite soldiers shooting live ammunition for the first time. “Fun” is the verdict, yet there’s also a recognition that things are getting serious, something confirmed when the recruits employ bayonets. The overall aim, apparently, is to produce “human alsatians”, men who can be aggressive yet switch off that aggression at will. Scary, but what sticks in the mind, rather oddly, is how polite and open these young men seem. Jonathan Wright
The Kennedys
9.30pm, BBC1
Opportunity knocks at Jessop Square as the family prepare for a talent show. Tony (Dan Skinner) has turned his hand to kung fu, while Brenda (Katherine Parkinson) tackles disco. All-out war breaks out on the talent front and soon the neighbours become embroiled in an alarming yet impressive dance-off, the highlight of which comes in the form of the Palmers’ interpretation of Grease. Elsewhere, Emma asks her parents for a skateboard, but can she bribe enough money out of them to save up for it? Hannah Verdier
Psychedelic Britannia
10pm, BBC4
With its predictable footage of hippies clapping out of time, and King’s Road debutantes extolling the virtues of LSD, this look back at psychedelic pop circa 1967 feels more like a primer for a decent multi-part series. However, new interviews, including Vashti Bunyan and Robert Wyatt, make it a worthwhile trip. Highlights include a hilarious report following some mods to Ally Pally’s 1967 Technicolor Dream benefit gig, probably lured in by the inclusion of Pete Townshend on the bill. “What did you expect?” “Sumfink better than this!” Ali Catterall

Whiplash
(Damien Chazelle, 2014)
10.15am, 9.45pm, Sky Movies Premiere
No pain, no gain – that’s the mantra of ferocious New York music teacher Mr Fletcher (JK Simmons), who takes young drummer Andrew (Miles Teller) under his steely wing in a film that tips the caring mentor movie firmly on its head. Never mind syncopation – Fletcher’s method in passing on the secrets of jazz percussion, and the infernally difficult whiplash rhythm in particular, is all about subjugation and humiliation. An intense and bruising experience. Paul Howlett
Skyfall
(Sam Mendes, 2012)
9pm, ITV
Daniel Craig says he’s had it up to here with James Bond. Well, maybe he feels he can’t go any further than this brilliant chapter in the Bond myth, pitting Craig’s haunted 007 against rogue former agent Silva – played as a dyed-blond psychopath by Javier Bardem. There are spectacular stunts in Macau and Shanghai, but the powerful finale is closer to home at Skyfall, the Highlands pile of Bond’s youth. PH
