The NHS: a People’s History
9pm, BBC Four
In this new three-part documentary – part of the Beeb’s NHS at 70 season – The Last Leg’s Alex Brooker paints a portrait of the NHS via eclectic and often deeply personal stories from staff and patients. The opening instalment covers the institution’s first 25 years and features a visit to a hip surgery museum in Wigan, a chat with the first ever recipient of a successful bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor, and a joyous joyride in a powder-blue 1960s Invacar three-wheeler.

24 Hours in Police Custody
9pm, Channel 4
When a man travelling with a young woman arrives at Luton airport on a one-way ticket from Bulgaria, Bedfordshire police and officers from the National Crime Agency believe that he could be bringing her into the country unlawfully. But there are twists and turns in the road ahead. Ben Arnold
Lucifer
9pm, Fox
If there is one thing Lucifer must know by now, it’s that you can’t trust humans. Case in point: a horrid homo sapien has pilfered Azrael’s blade, using it to murder a member of a suspiciously cultish yoga group. Charlotte’s law firm might just hold some clues as to the identity of the mysterious knife-wielder. Mark Gibbings-Jones
The Return of Alright on the Night
9.15pm, ITV
A programme that might be best explained to younger viewers as a slightly stuffy, celebrity-led YouTube-fails compilation. This reboot sees David Walliams installed in the Denis Norden role – but can he replicate Norden’s mixture of warmth and wry amusement? Phil Harrison
Versailles
9.30pm, BBC Two
There’s never a quiet moment in the court, and this week Madame de Maintenon is back in favour. The queen is going through some issues and her weird behaviour is becoming a worry. Meanwhile, Louis might have the chance to do some business with Asia and the palace makes Guillaume an offer he can’t refuse. Hannah Verdier
Inside the American Embassy
10pm, Channel 4
A series with amazing access to US consular activity in London moves to the front line: yes or no decisions about visas, issued face to face. Trump’s travel ban turns these already delicate interviews into a series of grippingly intimate, politically fraught and often heartbreaking encounters. Jack Seale
Film choice
Red State, 2.20am, Film4
A wacky, trashy take on cult leader David Koresh: three horny young men are lured to the trailer of an older woman (Melissa Leo) for sex, only to find themselves signed up with charismatic preacher Michael Parks’s murderous sect. Director Kevin Smith walks a fine line between satire and exploitation. Paul Howlett
