Louis Theroux: The Night in Question
9pm, BBC Two

At a time of rising scrutiny about what constitutes sexual assault, Louis Theroux heads to college campuses in the United States and meets students whose universities have found them responsible for crimes of this kind, even if – as is the case with the main subject of this documentary, Saifullah Khan – the alleged perpetrator has been found not guilty of rape in a criminal trial. Theroux also speaks to victims and one lawyer who believes that Yale is in the grip of “moral hysteria”. Mike Bradley

Baby Club
10.20am, CBeebies

Using TV as a parenting tool is frowned upon but let’s be real: everybody does it. What matters more is what the kids are watching and how they are watching it. This new follow-along activity show could be a great childcare option for those days when getting out of the front door feels like a mission. Ellen E Jones

A Very British History: Ugandan Asians
9pm, BBC Four

The last in this fine series about Britain’s immigrant communities features the food writer Meera Sodha, who grew up in Lincolnshire following her parents’ expulsion from Uganda in the 1970s. It’s shocking to learn that Ted Heath’s Conservative government offered arrivals payoffs to renounce their British citizenship. MB

This Time With Alan Partridge
9.30pm, BBC One

As Tony Hayers’s widow will testify, Alan Partridge and death aren’t always comfortable bedfellows. Tonight, the passing of former This Time presenter John Baskell leaves Alan with the job of co-presenting a sombre tribute. Will he find the right tone? What do you think? Phil Harrison

The Bachelor UK
10pm, Channel 5

Alex Marks – a chiselled Spencer Matthews knockoff – is looking for love. Enter 15 women, who have flown to South Africa to impress him. Things quickly turn into a readymade Sidebar of Shame, however, full of the contrived, catty drama that is the lifeblood of this format. Hannah J Davies

Fleabag
10.35pm, BBC One

On the basis of this opening episode, the second series of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hilarious comedy of manners is even more packed with wit, pathos and promise than the first. Tonight, an excruciating family dinner to celebrate her wicked godmother and her withered father’s engagement sees old tensions resurface. MB

There is great heart and humour in Taika Waititi’s engaging, New Zealand comedy-drama. Julian Dennison is Ricky, a troubled orphan fostered to the farm of Bella and Hec (Rima Te Wiata and Sam Neill). Circumstances plonk Ricky and Hec in the bush, pursued by, well, everyone. Paul Howlett
