The Last Survivors
9pm, BBC Two
Director Arthur Cary’s powerful feature-length documentary about the remaining Holocaust survivors living today in Britain, all of whom were children during their incarceration in the concentration camps, is a carefully compiled compendium of personal testimonies from people who witnessed the horrors of “humanity’s darkest hour” at first hand. They all share a common wish to bring their experiences to life “because when we’re gone, then it’s all history books”. Quite brilliant. Mike Bradley
Britain’s Favourite Sweets
7pm, Channel 5
After declaring last year that the nation’s fave chocolate bar was boring old Dairy Milk, C5 turns its attention to other tooth-ruining treats. That means the usual pic’n’mix of talking heads and vintage ads, though there is a segment where a civilian gets to live the Wonka dream and invent their own sweet. Graeme Virtue
Les Misérables
9pm, BBC One
The Parisian air is thick with revolutionary fervour, so Enjolras (Joseph Quinn) leads a group of protesters to construct a barricade in the street. If you hoped that the climate might distract Javert (David Oyelowo) from his all-consuming obsession with Valjean (Dominic West), then clearly you haven’t been paying attention. Ellen E Jones
Friday on My Mind
9.15pm, Sky Arts
Sixties Australian band the Easybeats only had one international hit (1966’s Friday on My Mind), but who knew that their story – they met in a migrant hostel and were central to the rise of AC/DC – was as interesting as this three-and-a-half-hour fact-based drama depicts? Watch as the world catches “Easy fever”. MB
Unlocking the Truth
10pm, W
Exoneree-turned-justice campaigner Ryan Ferguson has identified alternative suspects in his cases as the true-crime series continues, but proving the innocence of two prisoners will require more work. Witnesses describe a mysterious man in the woods, plus we’re all shipping Ryan and co-investigator Eva Nagao now, right? EEJ
Ride Upon the Storm
11pm, Channel 4
Danish Borgen screenwriter Adam Price returns with a dynastic saga set within a Copenhagen family, almost all of whom are ministers in the national church. A rollercoaster ride featuring family intrigues, fornication and turbulent priests, the full series is available on All4 after this opener ends. MB
Film choice
Timbuktu, 11pm, BBC Four
Abderrahmane Sissako’s film about the oppression of the ancient Malian city by Islamist militants is a mesmeric account of systematic brutality, told through the experiences of cowherder Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed), his wife Satima (Toulou Kiki) and their daughter Toya (Layla Walet Mohamed).
