Untouchable: The Rise and Fall of Harvey Weinstein
9pm, BBC Two
Director Ursula Macfarlane didn’t hesitate when asked to take on the daunting task of documenting the story that led to the launch of the #MeToo movement: “I almost jumped up and down and said: ‘Yes, absolutely.’” The result is a mesmerising feature-length film that, while vacillating unevenly between marvelling at Weinstein’s movie-producing prowess and vilifying his treatment of women, allows his accusers to tell their stories.

Peaky Blinders
9pm, BBC One
After a shaky start, Steven Knight’s piece of Brummagem brilliance has recovered its sparkle. As Tommy, Arthur and Michael head to Westminster, the only fly in the ointment is the hamfisted caricature portrayal of fascist tyro Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin), the man they’ve come to meet. Otherwise, terrific. MB
The Handmaid’s Tale
9pm, Channel 4
As well you might expect, the finale to season three is a deftly plotted piece of thriller writing that will have you on the edge of your seat, as June (Elisabeth Moss at her ruthless best) risks everything in an attempt to spirit a group of children out of Gilead. Echoes of the Book of Exodus are everywhere in the best drama of the week. MB

50 Years of the Troubles: A Journey Through Film
10.20pm, Channel 4
“Cinemas are a shelter from the storm,” says Belfast-born writer and film-maker Mark Cousins – and for the nervy boy who was four when the Troubles began they were a lifeline. In this beautiful work, he traces the changing face of Northern Ireland and its depiction in film. Ali Catterall
