Europa League Football: Besiktas v Tottenham Hotspur
5.30pm, ITV4
Two English sides are still standing in the Europa League, and both have already confirmed their qualification for the knockout stages. Everton even have the opportunity to put their feet up in their match against Kubin Krasnodar (kick-off 8.05pm, ITV4), having already guaranteed top spot in their group. Spurs, though, still have some work to do: they require a point in this fixture to ensure they finish at the summit of Group C. Gwilym Mumford
The Diversity Deficit: Tonight
7.30pm, ITV
In the US, the Rooney rule requires that at least one ethnic minority candidate is interviewed for each available head coaching position in the NFL. Recently, there have been calls for the rule to be adopted by the Premier League, something that has received a mixed reaction in the UK’s football community. Here, newsreader Charlene White uses the debate as an opportunity to discuss the inequality in the employment of white people and ethnic minorities, hoping to find ways in which the imbalance can be rectified.

BBC Music Awards
8pm, BBC1
Presumably noticing that the Brits is an embarrassingly hamfisted attempt to capture even half the brio of an MTV bash, the BBC has decided it will jolly well give this music awards ceremony business a go. There are only three prizes (British artist of the year, international artist of the year and song of the year), leaving more time for world-conquering talent such as Ed Sheeran and Coldplay to perform. Singing a duet are Labrinth and Ella Henderson, while One Direction are also on hand for some extra A-list oomph. Ben Beaumont-Thomas
The Fall
9pm, BBC2
Penultimate episode in the thoroughly horrible crime drama. Gibson’s net closes around Spector, but it’s not over yet in their almost unbearable game of cat and mouse. She keeps him at arm’s length as if she is operating the remote control on a bomb-disposal robot, fully aware that he’s holding out for a face to face. But will we get that scene in the final episode? Only watch tonight if you have the stomach for some emotionally punishing scenes towards the end. Truly upsetting television. Julia Raeside
The Knick
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Clive Owen and his moustache come into their own in this episode, in which anti-hero Thackery kicks off by delivering a priceless anti-God tirade in his pillow talk with the recently bedded Nurse Elkins. However, he’s immediately faced with a crisis as the hospital runs out of cocaine, thanks to the war of independence in the Philippines, causing him to thrash about for much of this episode in a state of withdrawal. Meanwhile, the introduction of Dr Levi Zinberg allows the writers to add the theme of antisemitism to the mix. David Stubbs
Babylon
10pm, Channel 4
The penultimate episode of Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong’s slightly strange drama/comedy proposition, and the show remains perched on the edge of a Charlie Brooker-style dark drama, without quite breaking through. Still, there is some strong satire, great acting and excellent jokes. As ever, the armed response guys get the best lines, even in the middle of a cover-up (“I’ve shot him in the back. You can’t make it out on these cameras”), while Liz attempts to turn a missing child into a career opportunity. John Robinson
Puppy Love
10pm, BBC4
Five episodes in, Puppy Love remains perfectly pleasant viewing, but still feels frustratingly less than the sum of its parts. It has all the requisite ingredients of a successful modern sitcom – cheerfully complicated families, gently simmering class conflict, and fine lead turns by Joanna Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine – but it still feels too amiable for its own good. Tonight, Pepperdine’s neurotic middle-class matriarch Naomi meets the long-absent brother of Scanlan’s caravan-dwelling dog-trainer, with surprising consequences. Andrew Mueller
Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word
10pm, MTV
Few people have been as vocal in campaigning for the rights of transgender people as Orange is the New Black actor Laverne Cox. Here, she talks with several trans men and women about their lives pre- and post-transition – looking at the responses they have received from family, friends and institutions. Also covered are the higher-than-average rates of homicide and assault, especially among trans women of colour. It sometimes comes across as a “Dummies Guide” but is never patronising, probably because Cox also executive produces. Bim Adewunmi
