Ripper Street
9pm, BBC2
The series set among the stench and stilted dialogue of 19th-century Whitechapel returns, with our crimefighters mourning the loss of Jerome Flynn’s Drake. Reid (Matthew Macfadyen), Jackson and Susan are wanted as fugitives from justice, in hiding in the sewers. Meanwhile, Dove brings in Jedediah Shine as new chief of H Division with a remit to hunt down his old nemesis Reid, in an emotional, slow-burning episode punctuated by violent bouts of dogfighting.

Horizon: 10 Things You Need to Know About the Future
8pm, BBC2
Some much-needed optimism here, with maths whiz Hannah Fry inviting a thinktank of experts and innovators to imagine the world in 50 years. Cramming the answers to 10 big questions into an hour may not allow much detail, but there are interesting perspectives on clean energy, climate change and extending the human lifespan, as well as a winking investigation into the prospect of flying cars. Graeme Virtue
Dispatches: Bupa Care Homes Undercover
8pm, Channel 4
If the measure of a society lies in how it treats its most vulnerable then – judging by the recent allegations of abuse and neglect at specialist dementia care homes – plenty of questions are being raised. In this report, Dispatches goes undercover with covert filming at leading UK private healthcare brand Bupa to investigate allegations of under-resourced and overstretched staff, and some questionable treatment of residents. Ali Catterall
Fearless
9pm, ITV
The second episode of this captivating crime thriller sees newly exonerated Kevin Russell hounded by angry mobs, forcing Emma to offer him a room at her home. With Emma’s investigation making progress, evidence suggests Kevin is not as disconnected from Linda Simms as he had claimed, although the new witness makes an unlikely candidate for self-incrimination. To complicate matters, Emma’s lodger Miriam has attracted scrutiny from MI5 and MI6. Mark Gibbings-Jones
The Art of Japanese Life
9pm, BBC4
The elegantly monochrome James Fox hails the art of three of Japan’s great cities. Kyoto perfected living with aesthetic rigour – extended to architecture, literature and even tea-drinking – between the eighth and 16th centuries; Edo’s kabuki theatre and sexually explicit art did poised hedonism 200 years before Paris; its successor Tokyo is in constant flux. The through-line Fox draws is one of creativity as a response to disasters. Jack Seale
Killing Richard Glossip
10pm, ID
In 1997, Richard Glossip was convicted of hiring another man to murder his boss – the owner of a small chain of cheap motels in Oklahoma – on no more evidence than a troublesome confession from the killer. He has been on death row ever since, and to the brink of execution on three occasions, but there are many who believe that he is an innocent man. What film-maker Joe Berlinger presents is grimly fascinating, as if lifted from the pages of an inky noir. Ben Arnold
The Americans
10pm, ITV Encore
To quote its creator Joe Weisberg, for all that it’s set in the 1980s, this espionage series has acquired an unintended “new topicality” in the paranoid era of Trump. It is also – as the penultimate fifth season gathers pace – excellent on its own terms, cleverly playing with the idea that we will sympathise with murderous, deeply embedded Soviet agents. Tonight, Stan and Oleg wrestle with their own backstory, while Philip and Elizabeth face a new mission. Jonathan Wright

A Touch of Sin (Jia Zhangke, 2013) 12.55am, Film4
Jia Zhangke’s angry tale of social dysfunction in modern China is like a far-east Ken Loach film with a touch of kung-fu. It won best screenplay at Cannes, but was initially banned by the Chinese censors. Not so suprising, as it was inspired by true-life stories, pulling together the disparate lives of four people driven to violence by the pressures of living in a palpably corrupt society: including a miner who resorts to a shotgun protest against his greedy boss, and a young, abused sauna worker who exacts bloody vengeance. Paul Howlett
The Inbetweeners Movie (Ben Palmer, 2011) 10pm, E4
TV sitcom’s shocking sixth-form gang regroup and head to Crete in this big-screen, lads-abroad excursion. Nerdy Simon Bird, soppy Joe Thomas, dopey Blake Harrison and gobsmackingly crude James Buckley get up to all sorts of excruciatingly crass antics, but as in the TV show, there’s sympathy too, for their teenaged, hormonally challenged predicament.
