Happy Birthday OU: 50 Years of the Open University
9pm, BBC Four
Actor, comedian and OU graduate Lenny Henry provides an unexpectedly compelling history of the institution, which began life in 1969 as a bold experiment that no one seemed interested in and ended up as the largest university in Europe. The story of how Labour visionary Michael Young drew inspiration from the way education was delivered to remote corners of the USSR to create the UK’s own vehicle for distance learning reveals much about changing political climates.

Jill Dando: The 20 Year Mystery

The Good Fight
9pm, More4
It is hard to resist any episode titled The One Where a Nazi Gets Punched, but when it’s a chapter of the feisty legal drama you know it will deliver. Referencing white supremacist Richard Spencer getting clocked on inauguration day, it sees Lucca and Jay come face to face with a far-right group trying to intimidate voters. MB
Ambulance
9pm, BBC One
From drug users to homeless people, many calls to the North West Ambulance Service involve social issues rather than medical ones. This doc handles them sensitively, yet – as paramedics note, having been scolded by a security guard for helping a man passed out in the street – the situation is complicated. Hannah J Davies
David Jason: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Lee and Dean
10pm, Channel 4
Mark O’Sullivan and Miles Chapman’s latest side-splitting dispatch from the frontline of the Stevenage construction industry finds the boys back on sparkling form following last week’s dip. It’s a tale of rubbing parchment, fourth wave feminism and the elevation of Nightmare to “conflict resolution chief”. MB
