The Way Out

11pm, BBC Four

Part of the BBC’s Performance Live offering, screening theatrical works from some of Britain’s most promising talents, comes this eerie, single shot tale of a young person’s journey through the bowels of the Battersea Arts Centre, led by the Guide (Omid Djalili). Like an Alice in Wonderland immersive theatre show, we follow the journeying Outsider (Bláithín Mac Gabhann) as they encounter arresting tableaus from performing acrobats and an enigmatic Le Gateau Chocolat. It is an amorphous but engrossing watch. Ammar Kalia

David Stratton’s Stories of Australian Cinema

9pm, BBC Four

Film critic David Stratton ends his illuminating three-part documentary series exploring his lifelong fascination with Australian cinema by focusing on the theme of “family”. There’s the white nuclear family in The Castle to the horrific severing of aboriginal families in Rabbit Proof Fence. AK

Killing Eve

9.15pm, BBC One

It’s back to Mother Russia as Oxana (Jodie Comer) finds her birth family in a ramshackle rural town – an aesthetic that’s sadly matched by this episode’s mostly beige outfits. Our anti-heroine soon gives herself over to the simple pleasures but maybe mum’s house isn’t the sanctuary she’d hoped? Ellen E Jones

Dave

10pm, BBC Two

Lil Dicky’s comedy continues to flip between geeky and gross with some funny one-liners. When Ally tries to get adventurous in the bedroom under the watchful eye of Dave’s Drake poster, she discovers Dave’s lyrics don’t reflect his true desires. This sends him into an examination of his biggest insecurities. Hannah Verdier

A Fistful of Dollars, 9pm, ITV4

The Sergio Leone western that introduced Clint Eastwood’s Man With No Name, and breathed new life into a fading genre: the plot, borrowed from Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, has Clint’s laconic, ponchoed gunman playing off two warring factions in a dusty Tex/Mex border town. Ennio Morricone’s wailing score provides perfect horse-operatics. Paul Howlett
