Cunk on Britain
10pm, BBC Two
Diane Morgan’s deadpan ignoramus tackles the big questions in this series, starting with the big bang and stumbling blindly forward. Along the way, she takes a hatchet to the striding-and-talking tropes of the BBC factual department and baits experts with bewildering displays of idiocy (“Why did stone age people bury all their stuff underground?” she asks one baffled archaeologist). A corrective to self-important historical docs or a decent but limited joke stretched well beyond breaking point? Cunk on Britain is probably a bit of both. Phil Harrison

Candice Carty-Williams

Jonathan Wright

Film choice
The Social Network, 1.10am, Film4
David Fincher’s brilliant account of the birth of Facebook stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, whose drunken computer prank after being dumped by a girlfriend morphs into the multi-billion-dollar social network, with nary a hint of the mass data harvesting to come. Incisive and darkly funny. Paul Howlett
