British Bribery Exposed – Panorama
8.30pm, BBC1
This Richard Bilton investigation promises that “one of Britain’s biggest companies” will be exposed for bribing civil servants and politicians across Africa – and worse, that this corruption may have undermined humanitarian work. Bilton will challenge officials and look into the likelihood of prosecutions. Corruption is one of the primary factors holding Africa back; if this film forces it into retreat even slightly, it will have been worth making. Andrew Mueller
London Spy
9pm, BBC2
With two episodes to go, can there be anything left for Danny to find out about his beloved, unknowable Alex/Alistair? It seems there can, as the latest revelation threatens to stamp on the memory of their courtship like a big, muddy boot of reality. As doubt seeps in, Ben Whishaw’s already overworked brow must gently contort yet further as he remembers an important piece of information that he’s so far failed to slot into the puzzle. By episode’s end, we’re moving from cause to horrid effect. Utterly gripping. Julia Raeside
The Murder Detectives
9pm, Channel 4
This three-part documentary series, continuing on Tuesday and Wednesday, explores the murder of a young man in the St Pauls area of Bristol, then the investigation and trial that follow. Tonight, we hear the last words of 19-year-old Nicholas Robinson, dying from stab wounds as he calls 999. The police fear this is a gang-related crime, but there are twists and turns as they uncover the truth. For the grieving mother, this is the second son she has lost in violent circumstances. Melancholy, harrowing, compelling. David Stubbs
The Walking Dead
9pm, FOX
With season six’s biggest question – what happened to poor Glenn? – belatedly resolved, the stage is set for tonight’s mid-season finale, traditionally a good time to put annoying side characters and go-nowhere subplots through the cleansing fire of a wham-bam, large-scale action sequence. Thanks to a perimeter breach, the tentative haven of Alexandria has abruptly become an all-you-can-eat buffet for the loitering walker herd, which means yet more instant life-or-death decision-making for ragged Rick. Graeme Virtue
Fargo
10.15pm, Channel 4
After last week’s stand-off in Luverne – and some sterling mediation skills from Nick Offerman’s superlative Karl Weathers – Lou and Hank (the latter sporting the evidence of his run-in with the butt of Hanzee’s rifle) head to Fargo to continue their investigation. Elsewhere, Floyd, now on the back foot following Mike Milligan’s all-out assault on the Gerhardt compound, is called away from home, and Bear is forced to question the loyalty of one of his own family. Simply the best thing on telly at the moment. Ben Arnold
Coming Oot! The Fabulous History Of Gay Scotland
10.35pm, BBC1 Scotland
Richard Wilson narrates the story of Scottish homosexuality, in a documentary that manages to lend a tone of happy defiance to a catalogue of injustice and pain. In the 1950s and 60s, Scotland lagged behind when it came to tolerating gay citizens: they were either reviled or invisible, and the country waited longer than in England and Wales to escape criminal sanction. A rainbow cut through the gloom after devolution: Scotland was first to banish Section 28. Jack Seale

Paradise: Love (Ulrich Seidl, 2012) 1.20am, Film4
The first part of the Austrian director Ulich Seidl’s trilogy (parts two and three, Faith and Hope, are broadcast later in the week) follows Margarethe Tiesel’s divorced Teresa, who heads off to Kenya to find sex, and possibly more, with the beach gigolos there. It’s a poignant set-up, but developed in a curiously detached manner: Teresa, and the men she encounters, are observed in all their naked vulnerability, and it’s hard to see what Seidl makes of the sex tourism trade. Paul Howlett
Of Horses And Men (Benedikt Erlingsson, 2013) 2.05am, Channel 4
A curious, captivating film about the connections between horses and people, beautifully photographed in strange and magnificent Icelandic landscapes. The lives (and deaths) of various members of a quirky little horsebreeding community are examined, chief among them the tightly-wound Kolbeinn, who rides his petite white mare to visit his love, the widow Solveig… PH
