On the Edge: Through the Gates
10pm, Channel 4
Through the Gates forms the first in a three-part drama anthology about criminal justice, involving a young offender, a witness and a victim.

Later comes A Mother’s Love, the story of a single mum whose young son witnesses a murder on their estate and is called on to testify. Continues tomorrow at 10.30pm. Mike Bradley
Age Before Beauty
9pm, BBC One
When it comes to planning revenge on a love rival, you’d think you could do better than consulting Ivy-Rae, so what makes Bel listen to her mum? The end result is just as funny as you would expect. Now, though, real tragedy comes to light as we get to know the family better and the faux fur begins to fly. MB
A Passage to Britain
9pm, BBC Two
By using passenger lists from ships bringing immigrants from the Indian subcontinent to begin new lives in Britain, this new series tells stories that provide valuable perspectives on the history of migration. We begin with The Viceroy of India, a luxury liner that sailed from Mumbai to Tilbury Docks in October 1933. MB
Gotham
9pm, E4
Season four of the gritty but lurid Batman prequel continues. With all the panto crime in Gotham, a series of slick but non-theatrical bank heists should feel like a nice change of pace for dogged cop Jim Gordon. But there is also the small matter of a ninja death cult and the return of one of teen Bruce Wayne’s craftiest foes. Graeme Virtue
Hurricane Hell: 30 Deadly Days
10pm, Channel 5
The summer of 2017 saw extreme weather batter Puerto Rico, Houston, Florida and the Caribbean, killing hundreds of people. This documentary provides a terrifying account of what happened, as well as showing how the locations changed forever in the aftermath. Hannah Verdier
Faith Behind Bars
10.45pm, BBC1
A touching look at the religious support offered to prisoners in HMP Edinburgh. There’s some tough love on display here – as Imam Ishfaq Mohammed points out: “Religion’s not something you can hide behind.” But even for the faithless, there is much solace in this compassionate guidance.

Night of the Living Dead, 10pm, BBC Four
George A Romero’s dirt-cheap cult shocker changed the face of horror movies into something altogether creepier – and paved the way for macabre spirits like Sam Raimi. A bunch of clean-cut folk are besieged in a farmhouse by zombies, and in the new moral order, the good and the bad meet similarly gruesome fates. Paul Howlett
