Unreported World
7.30pm, Channel 4
In China, homosexuality may have been declassified as a “mental illness” 14 years ago, but it seems that some hospitals – and police officials – didn’t get the message. Journalist Shaunagh Connaire and director Patrick Wells travel to Tianjin, where psychiatrists are administering electric shock treatment and nausea-inducing drugs as “cures” to “rebalance the nervous system”. Meanwhile LGBT activists campaigning to end “gay conversion therapy” discover that their covert meetings are being monitored. Ali Catterall
The Last Leg: SU2C Special
8pm, Channel 4
There’s great comedy programming in store for this year’s Stand Up To Cancer fundraising drive. Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker are on board with an instalment of their topical show The Last Leg, followed by a special edition of Gogglebox featuring a few surprise celebrity guests. Then it’s down to Chatty Man Alan Carr, with guests Sue Perkins and This Is England ’90 star Thomas Turgoose with the latter honouring a bet to have Carr’s name tattooed on his bum for charity.

Dag
9pm, Sky Arts
It’s ironic that obscure pleasures like this are no longer broadcast by the BBC, which sees an increasing need to dumb down in a competitive TV market thanks to Sky. This means programmes like this can only be seen on, er, Sky. Atle Antonsen continues to shine bleakly in this deader than deadpan Norwegian comedy as the terminally cynical marriage counsellor. Tonight, his sister sets him up on what you presume will be another disastrous date while Benedikt finds himself both thrown out of his flat and a reluctant father. David Stubbs
The Kennedys
9.30pm, BBC1
Emma Kennedy is unlucky that her childhood-memoir sitcom comes so soon after Raised By Wolves and Cradle To Grave, but it doesn’t help itself by sticking to such well-worn ground: tonight, Dad (Dan Skinner) fails to dissuade Mum (Katherine Parkinson) from learning to drive, while 10-year-old Emma (the ace Lucy Hutchinson) hunts for the sender of her first Valentine. The characters are well acted, but are either familiar types or wacky wildcards, and feel secondary to the light-brown 1970s nostalgia. Jack Seale
Music For Misfits: The Story Of Indie
10pm, BBC4
There can’t be many people unfamiliar with the arc of independent music, a storming of the corporate bastille that began with punk and gave rise to a liberated ethos of record production before declining into philosophic irrelevance with the arrival of Oasis. This three-part series doesn’t upend that premise, but it does deliver excellent reminiscence, which continues tonight with the 1980s, when The Smiths and others offered a vital opposition to materialist chart pop. John Robinson
Justified
10pm, Spike
While holing up at the mansion seized from the money launderer Charles Monroe, Raylan’s peace – not to mention an amorous assignation with Alison – is disturbed. It turns out that Monroe is about to be released from prison, but oddly, the intimidation tactics are emanating from a different origin than the notorious mob accountant himself. Meanwhile, Boyd is on the trail of his hijacked consignment of heroin from Canada, in an attempt to regain his grasp on the lucrative smack market in Harlan. BA

Unbroken (Angelina Jolie, 2014) 3.45pm, Sky Movies Premiere
The amazing life and adventures of Louie Zamperini is the subject of Jolie’s very traditional biopic. A rising star of the US Olympic team in 1936, he enlisted as a pilot in the second world war and survived being shot down, six weeks adrift on the ocean, and nightmarish suffering at the hands of his Japanese captors. Jack O’Connell exudes big-screen star quality as the extraordinary Louie. Paul Howlett
Road To Perdition (Sam Mendes, 2002) 9pm, More4
Mendes’ second movie, after American Beauty, is a son-of-the-mob rites of passage drama in the Billy Bathgate vein. Tom Hanks is chief enforcer of Paul Newman’s mob in depression-era Chicago, but when his own family become the target (son Tyler Hoechlin seeing something he didn’t oughta), he has to turn against his boss and surrogate father. Amid all the power-playing, Jude Law’s weaselly photographer-cum-killer stands out, while Conrad L Hall’s rich, sombre photography and Thomas Newman’s grand score give this gangster flick, culled from Max Allan Collins’ graphic novel, a near-tragic gravitas.
