The Break Up
11.05pm, Channel 4
If your marriage has broken up and you’re at war with your ex over the children, letting cameras follow your family for 18 months seems like a brave initiative. Luckily for inquisitive viewers, this is what divorcees Steve and Terri-Anne – who aren’t on speaking terms – have decided to do. Family mediator Victoria Hewitt is on hand to manage the explosion when Steve brings his new wife to a meeting, while Terri-Anne’s mum gives her view on their breakup. Honesty all round.

Great British Menu
7pm, BBC2
Up-and-coming chefs participate in this most absurd of all food shows, vying to cook a banquet to celebrate the 140th anniversary of Wimbledon tennis championships. There is nice-enough stuff about inspiration and influence, but it’s the determinedly British titles for the dishes (“Moonlight on Reading”) that offer light relief. Tonight’s south-east heat finds executive chef Mike Reid, Michelin-starred Tom Kemble and Oklava boss Selin Kiazim cautiously bantering as they work. John Robinson
Peter Kay’s Car Share
9pm, BBC1
The second run of the brilliant car-set sitcom draws to a close. As it begins, John is leaving his nan at his house to wait indoors for a parcel delivery (“Sky’s on, and there’s quiche in the fridge”), before heading over to pick up Kayleigh (the excellent Sian Gibson), who has somehow locked herself in her house. Despite umpteen laughs, this is ultimately an episode that deals with some of the bigger issues outside the pair’s unusually compact world. Hannah J Davies
Horizon: Why Did I Go Mad?
9pm, BBC2
Seemingly as linked to the popular conception of psychiatry as the image of doctors with pointy white beards, the voices and hallucinations that came with schizophrenia have been seen for centuries as something to be combated. And yet, fresh insights are leading to a re-evaluation of exactly what comprises the condition. Tonight’s Horizon follows three people living with voices, hallucinations and paranoia.

British Jews, German Passports
10.45pm, BBC1
Since last summer, thousands of British people have been rifling though family documents in search of ancestry that might preserve their EU citizenship. For some British Jews, this will necessitate reconciliation: a clause in Germany’s constitution extends citizenship to descendants of those who fled the Nazis. This film follows three people pondering this dilemma: Germany now is very far from Germany then, but little history hangs heavier. Andrew Mueller
Tate Britain’s Great British Walks
9pm, Sky Arts
Gus Casely-Hayford presents this new six-part series, where celebs take a close look at a favourite painting from the Tate Britain collection and then track down the place it was created. Tonight, Miriam Margolyes follows Gus’s coat of many pockets to St Ives on the trail of Alfred Wallis, the fisherman and artist whose seascapes Gus rates as highly as Turner’s. It’s scenic and insightful, though a bit more of the actual pictures wouldn’t hurt. JR
Veep
10.10pm, Sky Atlantic
Selina Meyer is in Georgia, where she’s helping to ensure the country enjoys a free and fair democratic election. But the candidates are both crooks, as the not-exactly-incorruptible Meyer discovers first hand: “To ensure a fair election, I would like to offer you a $15m bribe …” With Meyer out of office, it will be intriguing to see how long Veep can sustain itself, but the signs here are good and there are guest turns from Stephen Fry and Sally Phillips.

The Woman on the Beach (Jean Renoir, 1947), 6am, Movies4Men
A superb combination of box-office superstar Joan Bennett and French director Renoir – who fled the German occupation to work in Hollywood and produced this weird, wonderfully melodramatic film noir. Bennett plays Peggy, the frustrated wife of famous artist Tod (Charles Bickford), whom she believes she blinded in a raging argument. The arrival of Robert Ryan’s hunky but traumatised naval officer at the local US coastguard base creates a toxic mix of sex, passion and betrayal, with Bennett acting her socks off as an achingly human femme fatale.
The Counsellor (Ridley Scott, 2013) 11.20pm, Film4
Michael Fassbender is an ambitious lawyer getting seriously out of his comfort zone when he wheedles his way into a Mexican drug-trafficking cartel. The screen glitters with A-list talent – Penélope Cruz as Fassbender’s fiancee, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz – and Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country for Old Men, supplies the violent, sexed-up screenplay. It’s not particularly convincing, but torridly watchable nonetheless. Paul Howlett
