Tories at War

10pm, Channel 4

With the current pace of political change, it might seem impossible to coherently document even a week’s worth of parliamentary wrangling and back-stabbing. With eight months of insider access, featuring contributions from Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nigel Farage, film-maker Patrick Forbes tells a deeply troubling story of a party in power unravelling. Beginning with Theresa May struggling to get her deal through the Commons and ending with Boris Johnson doing the same, it’s a never ending story with little hope of resolution. Ammar Kalia

Another series of savage beatings and overcooked dialogue ends, with this year’s themes combining to provide the finale’s high-stakes jeopardy: Tommy might be facing the ultimate enemy in the form of fascism, but his biggest threats are his own clan and his increasingly fragile mental health. Jack Seale

Sanditon

9pm, ITV

Jane Austen fans tutting at the sexiness of Andrew Davies’s riff on her final work should be grateful for small mercies: as the period drama passes the halfway mark, there’s not a serial killer subplot to be seen. Instead, the annual cricket match magnifies rising tensions at the seaside resort. Graeme Virtue

Bradley Wiggins on Mods

9pm, Sky Arts

New king of the mods Bradley Wiggins gets off his bike to examine the subculture he loves, from its beatnik days in the 1950s to the Jam and beyond. Always cool and understated, Wiggo is joined by everyday heroes and mod royalty including Paul Weller, Martin Freeman and Phil Daniels. Hannah Verdier

State of the Union

9.50pm, BBC Two

Nick Hornby’s excellent take on a marriage in crisis continues with growing divisions between Tom, played with apathetic precision by Chris O’Dowd, and Louise, a drily pragmatic Rosamund Pike. The bar-side dialogue flows over Stephen Frears’s engaging, angular direction. AK

The Bitcoin Millionaire’s Club: Adventures in Futureland

11pm, Channel 4

Jamali Maddix turns his inscrutable gaze to bitcoin fanatics in this final episode of his series on making a living in the digital age. He finds a bitcoin-fuelled commune and a marriage governed by a cryptocurrency contract. Weird and wonderful stuff. AK

The Lady Vanishes, 10.45am, BBC Two

Dame May Whitty is portly Miss Froy, who disappears from a train between the Tyrol and London; the concerned Iris (Margaret Lockwood) enlists handsome young Gilbert (Michael Redgrave) to help find her. A consummate comic thriller set on a train, superbly executed by Alfred Hitchcock. Paul Howlett
