Life Behind Bars: Visiting Hour
9pm, Channel 4
Filmed at Scotland’s maximum security HMP Low Moss, this is a touching, often surprising look at what happens “when the outside meets the inside”. For Gary, it’s a chance to plan a wedding with girlfriend Charley – despite not knowing his release date. For Mike, it’s an opportunity to see his retired church minister father and talk architecture and redemption: “I’m trying to re-establish myself as his son; he’s trying to work out who his son is.” Ali Catterall
Broken
9pm, BBC1
Themes of guilt, redemption and ethical responsibility dominate as ever with Jimmy McGovern in the last of this series, starring Sean Bean. Despite a tendency for all characters to speak in “McGovernese”, this is nonetheless an immensely satisfying conclusion. Tonight, Chloe takes drastic action against the betting shop, Michael delivers an excoriating sermon on their influence, and the inquest into Vernon’s death begins. David Stubbs
Hospital
9.30pm, BBC2
This week on the magnificent Hospital, it’s the pressure of dealing with psychiatric patients at St Mary’s. A woman who has assaulted five staff members has been at A&E for 29 hours, with a bed in a secure mental health unit proving hard to come by. The withering honesty of staff is, as always, disarming, as they admit they are failing her but their hands are tied. Elsewhere, retired bus driver Carl has dementia, and is also lashing out in his confusion. It’s crushingly sad. Ben Arnold
First Dates
10pm, Channel 4
Tonight’s potential partners include Sherry, a 65-year-old dominatrix looking for a restful, romantic life away from the daily grind (insert a joke here about being chained to your desk, if you so choose). Could chartered surveyor and tai chi enthusiast John be the man for her? Elsewhere, adventure enthusiast Hannah hopes to plunge headlong into the dating pool and surface with an equally audacious match; Christmas tree farmer Rob hopes to fit the bill. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Music on 4 Four to the Floor
12.05am, Channel 4
The merciful lack of a self-consciously “fun” agenda – coupled with strong content and slightly scrappy feel – have made this show a welcome addition to late-night programming. The final episode of the current series is something of a grime/rap special, with MCs Murkage Dave (of the feted Tonga) and Jaykae in a live two-hander, plus tunes from the masked CASisDEAD, Hamburg’s throwback-R&B star Ace Tee and New Jersey’s Yung Chef. Sharon O’Connell
The Yorkshire Dales and the Lakes
9pm, More4
What’s it like to live and work in the Lake District and the Yorkshire dales? Picturesque for a start, which gives any series about these regions a certain restful, eye-candy quality. Not that life isn’t bustling for farmers like the Dawsons as they prepare to sell their lambs. Elsewhere, there’s doggy cross-country around Buttermere, and the residents of Barbon await the arrival of the 21st century in the form of high-speed broadband. Jonathan Wright
The Leftovers
10pm, Sky Atlantic
Think of The Leftovers as the anti-Lost. Instead of telling the story of a group of people who have been spirited away from humanity, it introduces us to those left behind after the “Sudden Departure”. And instead of leaving us several seasons in with the strong sense we’ve just wasted our precious time, The Leftovers amply rewards a viewer’s commitment. This third and final series is the best yet. Peculiar, profound, but never ponderous. Ellen E Jones
TV films
Experimenter (Michael Almereyda, 2015) 11.20pm, Film4
Almereyda’s multilayered biopic of social psychologist Stanley Milgram (Peter Sarsgaard) focuses on his most controversial experiment: persuading ordinary folk to administer electric shocks to a subject next door. The machine was fake, but the results nevertheless stunned, with most people obeying authority and carrying out the assaults. It makes for a fascinating, if slightly depressing drama.
