The Trouble with Women
9pm, BBC One
Anne Robinson earned richly merited opprobrium late last year for suggesting that a widespread and overdue backlash against predatory men was actually symptomatic of modern women being too fragile to cope with harassment. This film follows Robinson as she tests her case. The charitable explanation for Robinson’s tone-deafness is that women of her cohort put up with it because they felt like there was no choice, whereas subsequent generations see no reason why they should. Otherwise, this is commissioning as clickbait.

Humans
9pm, Channel 4
People and robots living in uneasy domestic harmony: that is what made this show a hit and it’s what we return to tonight, with an opening twist that almost resets the main characters to zero. The stakes are higher now, though, and another surprise tells us the man-machine menages can’t last. A strong episode. Jack Seale
