Fearless
9pm, ITV
This thriller, by Homeland scribe Patrick Harbinson, could become compelling: Helen McCrory is a human rights/miscarriage of justice lawyer whose quest to quash an old murder conviction arouses sinister establishment forces. Episode one, though, is an itchy mess of inconsistent pacing, annoying camerawork (keep still!) and blunt characters. However, there’s hope in the form of McCrory, who never falters, and Michael Gambon, who has yet to be fully unleashed. Jack Seale
Panorama: Election 2017 – What Next
8.30pm, BBC1
After the shock election result, it is clear that polarisation of the political landscape has been even more pronounced than anticipated; we have learned that an important part of winning any argument is to turn up; and Jeremy Corbyn’s vegetarianism has thwarted tabloid editors hoping for bacon sarnie pap shots. Nick Robinson will have plenty to chew over as he examines what it is all likely to mean for the country. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Horizon: Cyber Attack – the Day the NHS Stopped
9pm, BBC2
On the morning of 12 May 2017, the National Health Service’s appointment-booking systems, labs and even vital pieces of medical equipment were thrown into chaos. A taunting message appeared on screens: “Oops, your files have been encrypted!” What was it like to be on the frontline as the WannaCry virus crisis played out? Kevin Fong tells the inside story of the hack, which saw cybercriminals hold the NHS to ransom. Jonathan Wright
24 Hours in Police Custody
9pm, Channel 4
Two episodes into its fifth series, this self-explanatory programme still compels; such is the regular supply of gripping narrative that crosses the threshold of Luton’s cop shop, you start to wonder why anybody bothers making fictional police procedurals. In tonight’s episode, police have arrested an elderly man over allegations of historical child abuse. Any sense of triumph is diluted by the necessity of having to explain matters to his wife. Andrew Mueller
The Philpott Fire: Five Years On
9pm, Channel 5
What a world. Sometime reality TV star and father of 17 Mick Philpott was jailed for manslaughter in 2013, after six of his children died in a fire. Along with his wife and a friend, Philpott had apparently planned to frame his ex-lover for starting the blaze, but things went horribly wrong. In this documentary, his son Michael says he believes his father is innocent, while friends and neighbours weigh in. Grim. Sophie Harris
Bannon’s War
9pm, PBS America
Of the many things that get under Trump’s clingfilm hide, the left’s taunting nickname for his chief strategist – “President Bannon” – must drive him crazier still. For, as indicated in this grim profile, it is the White House’s own Baron Harkonnen who is clearly in charge, on a mission to “shake things up” and crush his enemies while he still has time. Reporters, political insiders and former Breitbarters speak rather carefully about a man who, at best, is an absolute git. Ali Catterall
The Americans
10pm, ITV Encore
The stylish cold war spy thriller with a killer 80s soundtrack returns to UK screens for a fifth season. After masquerading as suburban travel agents for years, Soviet sleepers Elizabeth and Philip (the superb Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys) are forced to create a second fake family to support a new mission directive. As ever, there are so many wigs and fake moustaches on show here that an Americans-branded Guess Who? tie-in must surely be imminent. Graeme Virtue
Film choice
Shell (Scott Graham, 2012), 1.25am, Film4
In the Scottish Highlands, teenager Shell (Chloe Pirrie) helps run a petrol station with her troubled, epileptic single father (Joseph Mawle). Scott Graham’s debut feature is a dour tale of loneliness and quiet desperation, but Pirrie is a luminous presence, and the landscape is hauntingly shot by Yoliswa Gärtig. Paul Howlett
