Crisis in Care
9pm, BBC One
Alison Holt, the BBC’s social affairs correspondent, spent a year filming this alarming two-part documentary, which focuses on four families in Somerset exhausted by caring for their loved ones 24 hours a day. Can they expect help from a county council that is fighting to balance its books after years of budget cuts? Mike Bradley
Summer of Rockets
9pm, BBC Two
Following a grand exposition, the drama at the heart of Stephen Poliakoff’s cold-war tale starts to emerge. MI5 orders Samuel Petrukhin to spy on the Shaws in exchange for big contracts. It is worth watching, especially for the exquisitely orchestrated scenes involving Keeley Hawes and Toby Stephens. MB
Victorian Sensations: Decadence and Degeneration
10pm, BBC Four
Paul McGann introduces the stories behind more technological marvels discovered during the last years of Queen Victoria’s reign, when fears of moral, social and racial degeneration were fuelled by the likes of HG Wells and Oscar Wilde. MB
The Virtues
9pm, Channel 4
A visit to the site of his childhood care home conjures many ghosts – and a relapse straight back to the pub – for Stephen Graham’s recovering alcoholic Joe. Meanwhile, he and “hot mess” Dinah find temporary solace in one another, before they are rudely interrupted in the middle of the night and she must face her past, too, in the penultimate episode of Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne’s tough and tender series. There is a great soundtrack – something of a hallmark in Meadows dramas – from PJ Harvey. Ali Catterall
Mum
10pm, BBC Two
The quiet genius of this sensitive comedy rolls on. After three days trapped in the luxury house, Cathy and Michael try to escape for some fresh air. Beautifully observed moments include Mum trying to explain the point of a walk to Jason and Kelly, Pauline’s outbursts, and Derek continuing nervously to unravel. Glorious scenes all round. Hannah Verdier
Black Monday
10.10pm, Sky Atlantic
Don Cheadle, Regina Hall and Andrew Rannells star in this coked-up, charismatic comedy about a bunch of Wall Street outsiders who caused the 1987 US stock market crash (or so we are told). It is low on laughs, but the synthpop, shoulder pads and hairdos provide some supplementary entertainment. Ellen E Jones
Film choice
The China Syndrome (James Bridges, 1979), 3.25am, Sony Movie Channel
A tale of near-meltdown at a California nuclear-power station in James Bridges’ drama. The authorities attempt a cover-up, but a news team (Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas) are alerted by Jack Lemmon’s shift manager. The tone was darkened by the Three Mile Island accident, involving a partial reactor meltdown, a few weeks after the film’s release. Paul Howlett
