Sixteen: Class of 2021
9pm, Channel 4
It has been a difficult year to be a teenager. This documentary, filmed at the Link Academy in Dudley, is a timely reminder of the resilience of young adults. Callum, Sade, Aaminah and others are dealing with GCSEs during a pandemic. In addition, Callum is realising that a career in football might be a stretch, while Sade is struggling with her temper. Plenty of interesting broadbrush stuff, but it is the characterful little details (Callum disappearing in a cloud of body spray; Sade using her facemask to hide new piercings) that stand out.

Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back
8pm, Channel 4

The Watch
9pm, BBC Two
The Discworld spin-off continues. Captain Sam Vimes frets about the power of the dragon-controlling relics, such as Gawain the talking sword – wonderfully voiced by Matt Berry – who insists on being called Wayne, as it is more informal. Will Vimes succeed in destroying the sword before Carcer and co steal it? Ali Catterall
BBC Proms 2021
8pm, BBC Four
Britain’s only majority black and ethnically diverse orchestra, Chineke!, performs works by historically neglected composers of African origin. Florence Price, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Fela Sowande are all showcased by a collective led by the pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason and the conductor Kalena Bovell. PH
FBI
9pm, Sky Witness
This procedural, set in New York City, from Dick “Law & Order” Wolf is as generic as the bare-bones title, even managing to turn the reliable oddball Jeremy Sisto into a stuffy agent-in-charge. Season three kicks off with more of the same, as masked shooters with far-right links target a media outlet. Graeme Virtue
Ambulance
9pm, BBC One
The second wave of Covid is challenging our beleaguered paramedics tonight – Emily and Jo are sent to the aid of a pregnant woman with the virus. Worryingly, she hasn’t felt her baby move since she fell ill. Elsewhere, Naomi deals with a patient in cardiac arrest. As intense and edifying as ever. PH
Film choice
Fanny By Gaslight (Anthony Asquith, 1944), 3.50pm, Talking Pictures TV
James Mason makes a fine, dastardly villain as lusty Lord Manderstoke, who has designs on poor Fanny (Phyllis Calvert), a cabinet minister’s illegitimate daughter. This lurid Victorian-era melodrama may look tame now, but it got them going in 1944. Paul Howlett
