June Brown at 90: A Walford Legend
8.30pm, BBC1
A birthday celebration of the actor who has, over 32 years, gradually made Dot Cotton one of Britain’s best TV characters. The programme offers clips, behind-the-scenes shots and glowing tributes but wisely spends most of its time just letting Brown talk. She’s a spiky old pro who doesn’t take the character home with her and has flourished when EastEnders has veered toward the pure theatre you suspect Brown would rather be doing. Jack Seale
Russia’s Hooligan Army
9pm, BBC2
The black-clad marauders encountered by England fans at Euro 2016 seemed like a new strain of hooligan: not drunken brawlers but sober, disciplined and terrifyingly single-minded. This shocking film sees Alex Stockley von Statzer travel to Russia to meet some of these paramilitary thugs, placing them in the context of emergent Russian nationalism and locating links to some very high places indeed. What fun the 2018 World Cup could be. Phil Harrison
Mafia Women With Trevor McDonald
9pm, ITV
A sequel to McDonald’s previous investigation into the modern-day mafia, in which he meets the wives, girlfriends and daughters of the professional criminals he interviewed last time. The calibre, if that’s the word, of the subjects of this two-part documentary is impressive: they include Toni Marie Ricci (ex-wife of Gambino family capo-turned-informant Michael DiLeonardo) and Linda Scarpa, the daughter of prolific hitman Greg Scarpa Sr. Andrew Mueller
Notes on Blindness: Storyville
9pm, BBC4
Released as a film last year, this revelatory Bafta-nominated docudrama concerns John Hull, a theology professor who lost his sight in 1980 at the age of 45. Soon after, he began recording his beautifully articulated insights into blindness and its effect on his mind. Along with subsequent interviews, it is these tapes that the film constructs itself around, with a cast of actors – including Dan Renton Skinner as Hull – lip-synching along to them. Rachel Aroesti
The Great Pottery Throw Down
8pm, BBC2
It’s raku week, involving “the most brutal firing in ceramics” and the subsequent nerve-wracking transferral of hot pots into a box full of customised combustible materials. Will everyone’s Japanese sake sets survive? And what’s with all the banana skins? Elsewhere, there are rice bowls to be flung and artful lanterns to be carved, all under the watchful eyes of Sara Cox, and judges Kate Malone and Keith Brymer Jones. Graeme Virtue
Inside Dior
9pm, More4
Part two of an intriguing behind-the-scenes exploration into the Parisian fashion house focuses on its current creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri – the first woman to lead the brand, and one who seems determined to bring her own eye for detail and feminist ways to Dior. There’s also further exploration of the different branches of the 70-year-old empire, from perfume to skincare to jewellery, much of which their mega-rich clientele purchase without even viewing. Hannah J Davies
Noisey
10pm, Viceland
New series of the documentary strand exploring cultural and music scenes around the world – from French rappers in Paris to South Korean K-Pop, and Afrobeat and Femi Kuti in Lagos. In this excellent opener, Zach Goldbaum heads for the San Francisco Bay Area to meet musicians such as G-Eazy and Nef the Pharaoh, alongside the Black Lives Matter movement, in a territory that has witnessed a high number of police shootings of black people.

Things seem to be looking up for Jeremy Northam’s jaded accountant Morgan Sullivan when he is enlisted by the mysterious Digicorp organisation as an industrial spy. Suddenly, he’s transformed into Jack Thursby, jetting off on adventures and meeting a genuine femme fatale – Lucy Liu’s Rita. But Sullivan’s dream of an exciting life soon turns into a deadly nightmare in this fast and smart sci-fi thriller. Paul Howlett
Up In The Air (Jason Reitman, 2009) 11.45pm, BBC1
If anyone can make a professional redundancy consultant charming, it’s George Clooney. His effortlessly suave Ryan Bingham first-classes it around the US, putting a ludicrously handsome face to a heartless business. It’s sophisticated, witty, beautifully shot and has super support from Vera Farmiga as Bingham’s similarly business-class lover, and Anna Kendrick as a young colleague who needs a lesson in (supposedly) compassionate capitalism.
