Working for Weinstein
10pm, Channel 4

The problem with creating a conspiracy of silence around yourself is that when the dam finally bursts, the flood is uncontrollable. Harvey Weinstein is discovering this the hard way as hordes of formerly cowed employees find the courage to speak out about his alleged sexually predatory behaviour, which he denies. This documentary explores the acute misery of relying on Weinstein for your living. How did the Hollywood mogul turned film industry pariah keep things on the down-low for so long? And who enabled his alleged abuse? Phil Harrison

100 Year Old Driving School
7.30pm, ITV

A return of the series following elderly drivers as they embark on a mature driving assessment. Tonight’s drivers include 102-year-old former Royal Navy officer John Errol Manners, whose military run-ins with the grim reaper have prepared him for much worse than a busy box junction outside Morrisons. Mark Gibbings-Jones

Shetland
9pm, BBC One

The inquiry into two murders – one a cold case, one warmer – continues. Our prime suspect is victimised but still pretty strange, and elsewhere the plot is thickening generationally. A good episode for Tosh, whose quiet intransigence in the face of corporate HR is something to root for. John Robinson

Flatpack Empire
9pm, BBC Two

“As soon as you’re in, you can’t get out, can you?” ponders one shopper in the final episode of the Ikea shop-umentary. It is delightful viewing, from Olivia Colman’s narration to the juicy facts throughout. Tonight, the company gears up to launch in India: vibrant chaos fuses with sleek functionality. Sophie Harris

Here and Now
9pm, Sky Atlantic

Alan Ball returns with an unsubtle ensemble drama based around Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter’s adopted, multiracial Portland family. They are a vehicle for impassioned railing against racism, homophobia and other post-Trump woes. It is all perfectly correct, but pompous with it. Jack Seale

Mum
10pm, BBC Two

Lesley Manville brings the cheery pathos in series two of the understated but affecting comedy about a widowed woman and the people who buzz relentlessly around her. It is Cathy’s 60th and she’s off to the carvery with the family; her tentative love interest Michael (Peter Mullan) has bought a new shirt for the occasion. Hannah Verdier

Secretary (Steven Shainberg) 11.10pm, Film4

In the sweetest tale of sadomasochism you could ever wish to see, Maggie Gyllenhaal is a troubled, self-harming young woman back in the community after a spell in care. She takes a job as secretary for lawyer James Spader, who proves to be a very strict boss indeed. A funny, tender and very peculiar romance. Paul Howlett
