Storyville: Poisoning America – The Devil We Know
9pm, BBC Four
A cautionary tale about the impact of a chemical company’s actions on human lives, this powerful Storyville chronicles one of the largest class-action suits in the history of environmental law. It concerns the toxic legacy of a chemical called C8, which was dumped in the water supply around the DuPont plant in West Virginia during the late 90s. At first, farmers noticed strange deaths among their livestock. Before long, children were born with deformities and cancers began to multiply. Mike Bradley

“Can I stick my head in that oven?” This energetic new daily foodie odyssey begins in Cairo with MasterChef’s Aussie umpire marvelling at a flatbread production line. After soaking up the local street food scene and learning to stuff pigeons with rice, he rustles up some kofta in the shadow of the pyramids. Graeme Virtue

Racing driver Billy Monger was 17 when, last year, a horror crash led to the loss of both his legs. This documentary follows him as, with barely a pause, he sets about changing motor racing’s rules so he can carry on competing in an adapted car. His positivity is astounding. Jack Seale

For Facts Sake
9.30pm, BBC One
Brendan “Mrs Brown” O’Carroll drags this pound-shop QI through to the last episode, with his teams captained by Danny and Fiona O’Carroll and Bill Oddie as this week’s expert. The audience titter whenever the word “fact” is used where an expletive could stand. Surely that Question Time job beckons for O’Carroll. Hannah Verdier

Enigma, 11.35pm, Paramount Network Adapted from Robert Harris’s bestseller, this well-staged wartime thriller is set among the code-breakers of Bletchley Park as they try to crack the German Enigma machine and uncover their U-boat activity.
