I Know Who You Are
9pm, BBC4
Fine Spanish drama about a college lecturer who claims amnesia following the disappearance of his niece – but is he feigning the condition? A flashback to a month earlier and a lecture by Juan gives a strong sense of his capacity for deception. In the present day, we see Juan revisit his past, sordid life and give a TV interview designed to improve public opinion of him – but his ratings with his own family are near zero. David Stubbs
Proms Extra
6.50pm, BBC2
Katie Derham returns to our screens with a fresh series of the magazine show, picking out prime performances from the celebrated classical music festival. Tonight’s opening episode looks back at the first seven days of the 2017 Proms, including a rendition of Elgar’s Second Symphony as conducted by Daniel Barenboim, a selection of work composed by movie maestro John Williams and the first-night festivities marking John Adams’s 70th birthday. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Catchphrase
7.20pm, ITV
The veteran ITV quizshow persists doggedly with toddler-faced former Redcoat Stephen Mulhern at the helm. This week, contestants David, Jane and Mark are those poised timorously over their buzzers preparing to “see it and say it” – a needless variation on Roy Walker’s “say what you see” – as they ingest a series of cheaply animated clues. One will reach the Super Catchphrase round and the chance to win £50,000. Ignominy awaits those who do not. Ben Arnold
Pitch Battle
7.25pm, BBC1
After five brutally edited pre-records, the search for the British Isles’ perkiest choir rashly goes live for the final, with some rejigging of personnel. Apart from Joe Jonas, replaced by his bro Nick, every guest judge returns to sing with “their” finalist; wild cards Scarmes get Jermaine Jackson. Judging next to TV’s least likely resident duo, Gareth Malone and Kelis, is doggedly upbeat musical director Deke Sharon. Presenter Mel Giedroyc is a central beacon of normality. Jack Seale
Performance Live: Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere
10pm, BBC2
This inventive polemic sees TV economist-turned-activist journalist Paul Mason chart a course through the turbulent half-decade that began with the Arab spring and ended with Trump in the White House. It’s equal parts theatre production, lecture and immersive audio-visual experiment, acting out scenes from Mason’s book of the same name. Not flawless but an admirable attempt to reckon with our feverish times. Phil Harrison
Secret War on Drugs
9pm, History
The domestic and global knock-on effects of the United States’s “war on drugs” are so multi-tentacled that even this six-hour documentary series can sometimes feel superficial. The penultimate instalment focuses mostly on the 1990s, featuring Clinton taking power, Mexican cartels taking charge and a brief grunge interlude in Seattle. Each vignette is presented in a hopped-up style that’s slightly at odds with the disapproving narration. Graeme Virtue
Vice Guide to Film: David O Russell
10.30pm, Viceland
This doc charts the director’s career, from independent auteur to commercial success to controversy, and back to gaining praise once again with SIlver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. On hand to talk about the mercurial Russell are some of his favourite faces, including Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence – something of a muse to him – although sadly, as per, Russell himself stays out of the spotlight. Hannah J Davies

A Knight’s Tale, (Brian Helgeland, 2001), 6.20pm, 5Star
Setting out to make his fortune in 14th-century England, lowly thatcher’s son William (Heath Ledger) poses as a wandering knight to become a champion of the joust. Helgeland’s silly but lovable medieval comedy is a lighthearted mix of slapstick and wit, with a standout performance from Paul Bettany as an opportunistic young chancer called Chaucer. Paul Howlett
Mamma Mia!, (Phyllida Lloyd, 2008), 7pm, ITV3
They don’t come more feelgood than this effervescent screen version of the sellout stage musical. Meryl Streep is a revelation as the hotel owner with a rock’n’roll past who, with soon-to-be-wed daughter Amanda Seyfried, tries to figure out which of her three exes (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård) is the girl’s father. A flimsy plot, but the name of the game is the succession of Abba hits: a stellar karaoke session, really. Paul Howlett
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, (Peter Jackson, 2012), 8pm, ITV
Hi-ho, it’s back to Middle-earth we go! Peter Jackson’s companion piece to the epic Lord of the Rings gives Tolkien’s lighter novel a similarly majestic treatment. This first part (of three again) launches another heroic quest, with Gandalf (Ian McKellen) sending Martin Freeman’s Bilbo and a gang of bad-tempered dwarves to recover their lost kingdom, now ruled by Smaug the dragon. Paul Howlett
