A House Through Time 
9pm, BBC Two

David Olusoga’s vivid biography of 10 Guinea Street in Bristol reaches the 1880s. The grand nine-room property is now home to many families sharing one WC, so good chamberpot etiquette is essential. After a detour into vintage contraception Olusoga meets a 91-year-old with a link to the house. Graeme Virtue

Betty 
9.35pm, Sky Comedy

Crystal Moselle’s insightful and vibrant 2018 film about a group of New York teenage female skateboarders, Skate Kitchen, gets a small-screen adaptation starring most of the original cast, who are part of a real-life skating crew. An extension of the film’s storyline, we open on the sun-dappled streets of New York as Skate Kitchen friends Janay (Dede Lovelace) and Kirt (Nina Moran) attempt to throw an all-girls meetup, but they soon run into trouble as an unexpected visitor cuts the festivities short and brings chaos on the proceedings. Ammar Kalia

Mr Tornado
8.25pm, PBS America

In 1974, an incredible 148 tornadoes tore through Canada and the US, killing more than 300 people and damaging thousands of homes. Meteorologist Ted Fujita spent the ensuing decade studying these mysterious outbreaks and in this doc we see how his research has since transformed our forecasts. AK 

Deep Ocean: Giants of the Antarctic Deep 
9pm, BBC Four

In the freezing and fathomless depths of the Southern Ocean are creatures so strange that science is yet to name them, let alone study them. Until now. This hour-long, David Attenborough-narrated doc makes us stowaways on the world’s first “submersibles” research voyage. Ellen E Jones

Das Boot 
9pm, Sky Atlantic

Return of the classy German series that takes Wolfgang Petersen’s film of the same name as a jumping-off point for perceptive explorations of the psychology of war. U-boat commander Von Reinhartz is in dire need of a new mission while Hoffmann explores routes to clearing his name. Phil Harrison

Torn from the Headlines: New York Post

Film choice

Logan 9pm, Film4
There’s a poignant, late-period feel to James Mangold’s final instalment of the razor-clawed X-Man’s adventures. Hugh Jackman’s Logan, AKA Wolverine, is lying low, boozing and caring for frail old Prof Xavier (Patrick Stewart). But faced with Richard E Grant’s evil eugenicist, he will have to sharpen those nails once more. Paul Howlett
