Public Enemies: Jay-Z vs Kanye
10pm, Channel 4
A fresh diss on Jay-Z’s 4:44 LP lends this doc extra relevance, although its best work comes early on: childhood friends offer first-hand memories and physical evidence of Jay-Z the business-minded Brooklyn projects kid, and Kanye the awkward, hot-housed Chicago nerd. After that, it’s an effective mapping of the rappers’ entwined trajectories, playing like a Shakespearean drama about elementally incompatible siblings. Jack Seale
Man in An Orange Shirt
9pm, BBC2
Novelist Patrick Gale pivots to TV drama with this handsome two-parter, the centrepiece of the BBC’s Gay Britannia season. In 1944, army captain Michael (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and war artist Thomas (James McArdle) fall in love after a skirmish on the Italian front. Can their relationship survive back home, where Michael’s devoted fiancee awaits? Part two spools forward to the present day, adding to the sense of a fleeting, yet fateful, encounter. Graeme Virtue
The Accused: An Inside Job?
9pm, Channel 5
In May 2015, investigators at Santander noticed that £26,000 had vanished from the account of an elderly customer. Suspicion fell on her personal banker, who was charged with theft and fraud. This film, essentially real-life whodunnit, chronicles what followed: the suspect’s preparations for his trial, the aftermath and the enormously consequential decisions made en route. An intimate, gripping study of the justice system at work. Andrew Mueller
Two Types: The Faces of Britain
9pm, BBC4
The late artist Eric Gill’s reputation has become somewhat overshadowed by outrages surrounding his private life, which was revealed to involve abuse of his daughters, his sisters and his dog. But his Gill Sans has become one of the defining typefaces of British life, along with Edward Johnston’s typeface for the London Underground, also championed by signage expert Mark Ovenden in this fascinating film. Ali Catterall
Queers
10pm, BBC4
This first in a series of eight short monologues marking 50 years since the passing of the Sexual Offences Act, tonight’s instalment was written and directed by Mark Gatiss and features Ben Whishaw as Percy, a soldier returned from the first world war. Its splicing of two tales – one of being “recognised” at Reading station by a broken Oscar Wilde, the other of Percy’s chaste farewell to his captain – makes for a moving, understated portrait of unfulfilled love and desire. Sharon O’Connell
False Flag
9pm, Fox
The acclaimed Israeli drama False Flag arrives on Fox, unfurling the story of five seemingly ordinary people – a chemist, a bride-to-be and a teacher among them – who are identified as being involved in the kidnapping of the Iranian defence minister in an undercover operation arranged by Mossad. With their passport pictures plastered across the news, it first appears to be a mistake – soon, however, there are threads that are tying them all together. Taut, well-made stuff. Ben Arnold
Made in Chelsea: Ibiza
9pm, E4
The toffs’ frisky new summer spin-off sees the Made in Chelsea favourites lounging in the Balearics. They’ll be wearing glitter, spraying champagne around and having tiffs that result in drinks thrown in faces. As ever, there’s plenty of opportunity for double-crossing and conflict as well as posing in swimwear. Sam’s on a break, so he’s on the lookout for some holiday fun, and MiC legend Mark Francis is attempting to find his spiritual side. No easy task. Hannah Verdier

The Guard (John Michael McDonagh, 2011) 11.40pm, Film4
Director John Michael McDonagh and star Brendan Gleeson make an excellent job of this cranky, low-key, Irish-set comic drama. Gleeson is superb as garda sergeant Gerry Boyle, ruling his Connemara patch with his gift for colourful, eye-wateringly bad language; but is he really as dim as the three unwelcome drug barons, and FBI visitor Don Cheadle, seem to think?
Play (Ruben Ostlund, 2011) 1.30am, Film4
Swedish film-maker Ostlund’s uncomfortable drama is based on a real-life case of teenage bullying in Gothenburg. A gang of black youngsters coax white kids into their orbit and proceed to humiliate and rob them. It came in for much critical flak, but the main target appears to be the ineffective adults.
