We Are British Jews

9pm, BBC Two
As rows about antisemitism continue to dominate the headlines, what better time for a look at what it means to be Jewish in Britain? In the first of this stimulating two-part film, eight British Jews meet up in Manchester, where they encounter victims of antisemitic attacks and talk to a Labour MP who has been the focus of abuse online, before travelling to a kibbutz in Israel. Healthy debate among young and old, believers and non-believers, Orthodox and progressive. Continues on Wednesday. Mike Bradley

The Great British Bake Off

8pm, Channel 4
Once again proving that despair and joy can be derived from sponge, the new season’s remaining bakers must demonstrate their prowess at cake-making. This involves the customary signature challenge, the use of an unusual ingredient in Prue Leith’s technical round and the creation of a “chocolate-collared showstopper”. Jonathan Wright

Wanderlust

9pm, BBC One
There is more lust than wandering in this drama starring Toni Collette and Steven Mackintosh as couples therapist Joy and teacher Alan, who are seeking a solution to what happens in middle age if you stop fancying each other but still want to stay together. Zawe Ashton steals the show as Alan’s colleague Claire. MB

The Joy of AI

9pm, BBC Four
AI: the acronym strikes fear into the hearts of those still shaking from Terminator 2, with its vision of a machine-led apocalypse. Physicist Jim Al-Khalili is rather upbeat about it all and, in this film, shows how artificial intelligence can enhance rather than replace our lives. Followed by Horizon’s Guide to AI. Ali Catterall

Gotham

9pm, E4
Holy explosive finale! Season four of the moody Batman prequel wraps up with leering clown Jeremiah plotting to turn Gotham into a lawless no man’s land. Can cape-and-cowl-free teen Bruce Wayne take him down? Meanwhile, Jim Gordon finds himself in the sort of crushing deathtrap that might have made Adam West nostalgic. Graeme Virtue

The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair

9pm, Sky Witness
This mystery drama stars Ben Schnetzer as Marcus Goldman, a writer who gets caught up in a murder investigation involving his mentor, Prof Harry Quebert (Patrick Dempsey) – who has been arrested on suspicion of killing a 15-year-old girl 30 years earlier. It is a cracker – and convincing, too. MB

The Angels’ Share (Ken Loach, 2012) ,11.05pm, Film 4
