Chris Packham: In Search of the Lost Girl
9pm, BBC Two
Back in 1998, Chris Packham spent time with the Orang Rimba, a tribe of nomadic hunter-gatherers in the rainforests of Indonesia. He took a photo of a young girl that has subsequently become totemic for him. In the intervening years, considerable misfortune has befallen the tribe as a result of deforestation. This film sees Packham retracing his steps: can he find the girl in the picture? Packham is as likable and insightful as ever but don’t expect much in the way of comforting resolution. Phil Harrison

Vera
8pm, ITV
The current series of the Northumberland-set police procedural concludes with Brenda Blethyn’s scruffy and indefatigable DCI Vera Stanhope investigating the death of a teenager found floating in a reservoir. But why are the locals in this rural timber community so reluctant to offer any help to the cops? Never fear, canny Vera will work it out. Jonathan Wright
McMafia
9pm, BBC One
It is intriguingly difficult to see how this series will resolve itself; whether any hero will emerge from the inevitable showdown. Tonight, Alex takes drastic precautionary measures to protect his family, which only serves to alienate Rebecca; Masha receives an ultimatum; and Joseph is in search of an ally to help Lyudmilla.

Machines
10pm, BBC Four
An unflinching look behind the scenes of an Indian textile factory, whose workers deny they’re being exploited, even as the machine chews them up. In its grindingly hypnotic way, Rahul Jain’s film often recalls Koyaanisqatsi, with its depiction of humanity at the service of soulless, crushing industry. Ali Catterall
Unspun with Matt Forde
10pm, Dave
The British equivalent to a late-night US chatshow, reacting to events of the day, has been an elusive grail for decades. On the evidence of previous series, Unspun is not quite it, although Dave has upped the ante with this incarnation: an extended version will now broadcast on Wednesdays at 11pm. Andrew Mueller

Side Effects, 11pm, Channel 4
Gripping big pharma thriller in which a developmental drug treatment prescribed by sleek and accomplished Manhattan psychiatrist Jude Law for depressed patient Rooney Mara has shocking, violent side effects. Steven Soderbergh crafts the whole cautionary tale into a kind of waking nightmare. Paul Howlett
