Performance Live: Love
10pm, BBC Two
In conjunction with the National Theatre and BBC Arts, executive producer David Schwimmer brings us an adaptation of Alexander Zeldin’s housing crisis play, which premiered at London’s National Theatre in 2016. Its stark social realism makes it a tough watch but there’s compassion on display in this tale of families placed in temporary accommodation. An intense interrogation of what happens to those who fall through the cracks in the welfare system that also doubles as a portrait of hope and resilience. MB
The Sinner
9pm, BBC Four
Double bill of the psychological thriller, which is steadily becoming more compelling as each clue to unlikely murderer Cora Tannetti’s painful past emerges. While evaluating Cora’s state of mind, a police psychologist asks: “What would you say to your 13-year-old self?” “Run!” comes the reply. MB
