Goodbye Brooklyn Nine-Nine

8pm, E4

The perma-joyful sitcom reaches its end tonight, with the final episodes of its eighth season reaching UK screens at last. But first, there’s this hour-long homage dissecting its brilliance. Interviewees include the stars behind the impressively well-rounded characters (Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz and Terry Crews to name a few), and superfans such as Nish Kumar and Catherine Bohart. As Jake Peralta would say: “noice”. Alexi Duggins

White God (Kornél Mundruczó, 2014), 1.55am, Channel 4
There’s more than a hint of Oliver Twist in Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó’s cautionary fable, which boasts some quality canine acting. When Hagen, a cross-breed owned by teenager Lili (Zsófia Psotta), is thrown out by her dad, he falls foul of animal pound workers and a man in the dog-fighting business. As the mood darkens, the antagonistic relationship between father and child softens, but the film is really all about what becomes of Hagen – his features moving from quizzical to fearful to angry as his treatment by humans brings him, and the city’s other maltreated canines, to the brink.
