The Trial of Christine Keeler
9pm, BBC One
It was the scandal that came to define 1960s Britain: a love triangle between the secretary of state for war, John Profumo, Soviet diplomat Yevgeny Ivanov and model Christine Keeler, which the media leaped on as representative of the simmering tensions of the cold war. Sophie Cookson stars convincingly as the alluring Keeler, somewhat unwittingly swept into a world of political deception. Written by Amanda Coe, the six-part series finds fresh ground in a much-covered story, humanising Keeler in the process. Ammar Kalia
Snow Cats and Me
8pm, BBC Two
Film in which Gordon Buchanan helps rescue lynx from Russian trappers, setting the elusive, if friendly and beautiful, beasts free in the Ural Mountains. Shots of them tasting snow after years locked in a garage, or luxuriating with the sunshine on their fur, are almost unbearably moving. Concludes tomorrow. Ali Catterall
Peter Kay Comedy Genius: In His Own Words
9pm, Channel 5
The man himself might have been on hiatus since the end of Car Share but this jumbo doc is stuffed with some of Kay’s best bits. It charts his career from cherubic standup to national treasure with contributors including Pete Waterman, Bobby Davro and Grace Dent. Graeme Virtue
Hawaii Five-0
9pm, Sky One
Incredibly, this is the 10th season of the cop show remake. First, a quick recap: sun, guns, car chases. There you go, you’re up to speed and ready for another roar of escapist action. Right now, an assassin is trying to shoot Hawaii’s top mob bosses and the team are saying goodbye to an old comrade. Jack Seale
Joe Lycett: I’m About to Lose Control and I Think Joe Lycett
10pm, Channel 4
Standup special from the arch Twitter prankster Joe Lycett. He goes through the mischief he has been up to recently, including supposedly breaking into banks, selling multimillion-pound works of art and competing with Olympians. A far-fetched delight. Ammar Kalia
Liam Gallagher: As It Was
10.15pm, BBC Two
It was the rock band feud to end all others: warring brothers Noel and Liam splitting up Oasis and not speaking to each other in the decade since. This doc aims to tell Liam’s side of the story, hilariously without the rights to feature any of the band’s music. A ranting 90-minute ad for Liam’s latest solo project. Ammar Kalia
Film choice
Under the Skin, 1.50am, Film4
In Jonathan Glazer’s creepy sci-fi drama, Scarlett Johansson is a beautifully otherworldly presence as an alien in luscious human form who tours the streets of Glasgow in search of men, then takes them home to do extraordinary, draining things to them – just not the things they had in mind. Strange, erotic and haunting. Paul Howlett
