American Nightmare: Trump’s Breadline Kids
10pm, Channel 4
With only two days to go before the United States goes to the polls, this probing documentary follows the fortunes of three families living in the battleground state of Ohio and their struggles to stay afloat in the midst of the Covid pandemic.

A Bee’s Diary
2pm, Sky Nature
The likes of A Bug’s Life and Antz had it right all along: as scientists are discovering, each bee within a hive has its own personality – whether brave, timid, clever or not. Exploring colony life from a new perspective, this focuses on two of our stripy pals: an elderly “winter bee” and a young forager. Ali Catterall

Happy End 10.20pm, BBC Four
A black comedy of the stygian variety from Michael Haneke. It’s a painfully barbed tale of bourgeois folk, the dysfunctional Laurent family of Calais, including stern Anne (Isabelle Huppert), her shifty brother Thomas (Mathieu Kassovitz) and his troubled daughter Eve (Fantine Harduin). A ghastly delight. Paul Howlett
