Top of the Lake: China Girl
9pm, BBC2
What is great about this series, as with the first, is that Jane Campion has taken on the conventions of BBC procedurals and pushed past them to present something way more interesting; a meditation on sexual attitudes both outdated and progressive, on love and loss and rage. This week there’s a flashback to Robin’s ill-fated wedding ceremony, while a discovery about Cinnamon during a post-mortem provokes deep emotions. David Stubbs
Prejudice and Pride: The People’s History of LGBTQ Britain
9pm, BBC4
This two-parter is the best terrestrial TV documentary so far this year. Fifty years on from the decriminalisation of homosexuality, Stephen K Amos and Susan Calman collect first-hand accounts of the intervening years. The variety of experience is key. Some testimony is profoundly moving, some – particularly the psychiatric and medical stuff – outrageous, other parts very funny indeed. John Robinson
Who Do You Think You Are?
9pm, BBC1
With only three days’ holiday between the recent Big Brother final and summer Celebrity Big Brother, Emma Willis is one of the hardest-working presenters on the box. Here, at least, she gets a break from diary room revelations to take a deep dive into her West Midlands heritage. Those family roots in Birmingham stretch back to Victorian times, before veering off in a direction unexpected enough that Willis takes a trip to investigate. Graeme Virtue
Nikki Grahame: In Therapy
10.05pm, Channel 5
Grahame is most famous for a meltdown on Big Brother. Now the reality star is hoping to leave behind the tantrums that made her an irritant in the house, enlisting the help of psychotherapist Mandy Saligari. Although the premise of therapy under the glare of TV cameras is slightly queasy, Saligari handles the situation delicately, and there’s often a feeling that celebrities come out of the process in better shape. Hannah Verdier
The Fish on My Plate
9pm, PBS America
Paul Greenberg, a journalist who has written extensively about fishing, spends a year eating fish for every meal, to the exclusion of all other meats. The documentary chronicling this experiment is not merely an exercise in Morgan Spurlock-variety gonzo reporting; Greenberg uses it as the hook for a wider look at the global industry. Fish, we learn, are definitely good for us; the difficulty is ensuring that fishing is good for the planet. Andrew Mueller
Insecure
10.35pm, Sky Atlantic
Season two of the warm, occasionally lewd HBO comedy from US comic Issa Rae begins, with Issa still pining over Lawrence but pushing herself to meet new men. Cue a Master of None-style carousel of dates, although the episode soon eschews the revolving door of suitors to focus on her work woes and general malaise. Plus, Molly enters therapy and – in a timely plot strand for UK viewers – discovers she’s paid less than her white, male colleague. Hannah J Davies
Queer Britain
11.25pm, BBC1
A deserved BBC1 boost for a BBC3 series that’s among the best of the online channel’s many programmes about modern LGBT issues. Its host, Riyadh Khalaf, skilfully hides journalistic directness behind a chatty exterior as he meets and easily bonds with people living in extraordinary situations. In this opener they’re young adults from religious backgrounds who either fear that coming out will lead to excommunication, or know full well that it will. Jack Seale
Film choice
The Way Way Back (Nat Faxon, Jim Rash, 2013) 6.55pm, Film4
Another slice of dysfunctional family life from the writers of The Descendants. It’s the story of 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James) who, while on holiday with his mother (Toni Collette) and her schmucky new boyfriend (Steve Carell), seeks refuge at the Water Wizz aquapark, managed by affable Sam Rockwell. It lacks the astringency of The Descendants, but it’s perceptive and funny. Paul Howlett
