Is Labour Antisemitic?
9pm, BBC One

Not the least of the problems currently facing our stricken nation is the determination with which both main parties have set about making themselves unelectable. Not to be outdone by the Tory party turning itself into a parade of public schoolboys, Labour has embarked upon a hokey-cokey with Chris Williamson, who has been suspended, reinstated and then suspended again for antisemitism.

LA’s Finest
9pm, Fox

Was the universe demanding a female-led TV spin-off from the Bad Boys film franchise?

Graeme Virtue

Heat (Michael Mann, 1996) 9pm, Syfy
Michael Mann’s masterly gangster movie sets up a deadly mano-a-mano contest between two of the screen’s top dogs: Al Pacino’s driven detective, cat-and-mousing with hood Robert De Niro in the coffee shop, is riveting. The action – a crackling city street shootout, the final confrontation at the airport – is superbly staged. Paul Howlett
