The Cameron Years
9pm, BBC One

With the first part of this intricately researched documentary following the immediate run up to the Brexit referendum and Cameron’s resignation, the concluding episode traces his career back to vying for leadership of the Conservative party. With access to key figures such as George Osborne and the man himself, it is a cautionary tale of how ambition easily overtook Cameron’s supposed liberalism, sowing the seeds of division within the party. Cameron is characteristically robotic but the archive footage paints a stark picture. Ammar Kalia

Conspiracy Files: Vaccine Wars
9pm, BBC Two

Inside Prison: Britain Behind Bars
9pm, ITV

Boasting all-areas access to prisons across Britain, at times there are too many stories jostling for attention in this new documentary series.

A bitter vindication ... Russell Crowe as Roger Ailes in The Loudest Voice. Photograph: JoJo Whilden/Showtime

After so much toxic machismo, we have earned this cathartic payoff at the end of the biography of the Fox News boss Roger Ailes. While Russell Crowe does a good sclerotic meltdown as Ailes, the show takes time to give his female victims their moment. And when it does, it is a proud and bitter vindication. Jack Seale

The Killing of a Sacred Deer, 9pm, Film4
As you might expect from the director of The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos’s horror-thriller is absurdist, to hugely entertaining and disquieting effect. Heart surgeon Colin Farrell and his wife Nicole Kidman seem to be a successful couple but his friendship with teenager Martin casts a deeply threatening shadow. Paul Howlett
