Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Whatever you might have thought of Robin Williams’s more mawkish film output, his was a comic talent of incredible velocity, as this HBO documentary amply attests. Here, Williams emerges as a man who only truly felt comfortable on stage – for all his drug and alcohol use, he loved nothing more than getting a laugh. Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Pam Dawber and Williams’s son Zak are among those who recount his extraordinary life and tragic demise. David Stubbs

The Handmaid’s Tale
9pm, Channel 4
Thought last week’s carnival of misery was as bad as this season would get? Think again. Tonight’s near-silent episode is almost unwatchably gruelling, as a heavily pregnant Offred has to contend with being left alone in the snowy wastes. If nothing else it’s a chance for Elisabeth Moss to stake her claim for another Emmy. Gwilym Mumford
