Unsaid Stories
9pm, ITV
Stripped across the week, these four short dramas explore various aspects of the Black Lives Matter movement. We begin with Jerome Bucchan-Nelson’s Generational in which Oliver (Nicholas Pinnock) catches his daughter Justina (Yasmin Monet Prince) sneaking out of the house. The usual fatherly concerns evaporate when he discovers she is attending a protest march. But they are replaced by another set of anxieties: will Justina be safe? And does she understand the battles fought on similar ground by previous generations? Phil Harrison
Munch from the Munch Museum
7pm, Sky Arts
In 2013, a century-and-a-half after the birth of Edvard Munch, Norway celebrated his anniversary by staging Munch 150: displaying 220 of his remarkable paintings; only one of which much of the world actually recognised on sight. Here is a behind-the-scenes of the exhibition, and a closer look at the artist. Ali Catterall
Once Upon a Time in Iraq
9pm, BBC Two
This superb series has put faces and names to the carnage of post-2003 Iraq and has been all the more affecting for it. We conclude with the long tail of the war: after emigrating to Canada, musician Waleed tells of returning to a different country in 2012, with divisive politics allowing extremism to gain a foothold.

The Yorkshire Jobcentre
9pm, Channel 4
A chirpy account of unemployment, filmed before the economic implications of Covid-19 became obvious. The care demonstrated by staff as they nudge clients back towards work is impressive. Hopefully, they are still smiling as they approach the most demanding spell of their working lives. PH
Perry Mason
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The trial is reaching its conclusion and so is this reimagining of the noirish detective serial. It has been thoroughly enjoyable – Matthew Rhys has located precisely the right balance between dry wit and shoulder-slumped disillusion. With a second series commissioned, will Mason tie up the loose ends? PH
Stockton on My Mind
9pm, Sky Documentaries
HBO’s documentary about Michael Tubbs, a 26-year-old black man who was elected mayor of Stockton in California on the night of Trump’s 2016 victory. Have his policies – among them universal basic income for randomly selected residents – improved a city blighted by poverty? Hannah J Davies
