Broke
9pm, BBC Two
Nick Leader’s three-part documentary follows families over a year in which their financial futures hang in the balance. It opens with the stories of Steve and Billy, a father and son from Hastings, who lost their jobs and their home and wound up in tents on the beach. Then there is struggling steelworker Ross from Port Talbot, his partner Vicky and their three kids, and photographer-turned-Uber driver Mark from London. This gallery of poignant TV portraits proves “being broke is not the same as being broken”. Mike Bradley
Ross Kemp Living With Homelessness
7.30pm, ITV
More accustomed to embedding himself in foreign hotspots, Kemp ventures closer to home with this series on issues affecting the UK. He begins by joining rough sleepers in Cardiff on its coldest night in seven years. Despite his gruff exterior, Kemp proves a sympathetic witness to a genuine crisis. Gwilym Mumford
Catch-22
9pm, Channel 4
This superb dramatisation of Joseph Heller’s tricky novel can’t quite magic up a neat ending but, before then, the final episode is another killer. Yossarian injures his scrotum hilariously, but then the show’s jazzy black farce makes way for a gut-punch scene about the real bloody hell of war. Jack Seale
Portillo: The Trouble With the Tories
9pm, Channel 5
The Conservative party was a power-amassing machine for decades, then Brexit ruined it. That is the Portillo presumption, anyway. This postmortem includes interviews with fellow “big beasts”, but doesn’t feature anyone under 45, commenters of colour or any single women. Another clue, perhaps? Ellen E Jones
Inside the Bruderhof
10.35pm, BBC One
This film about a radical community hidden away in a rural Sussex village, where residents have relinquished money and possessions to live as disciples of Jesus, paints a picture disquieting enough to arouse your curiosity. Overall, though, it is a bit toothless and could have done with an injection of Louis Theroux. MB
The Tez O’Clock Show
11pm, Channel 4

Fellow comedians Sophie Willan, Adam Rowe, Sindhu Vee and Man Like Mobeen’s Guz Khan co-star. JS

August: Osage County (John Wells, 2013), 1.50am, Channel 4
An A-list ensemble gathers at the home of Meryl Streep’s newly widowed matriarch Violet Weston for this engrossing screening of Tracy Letts’s play – and director John Wells lets them get on with it. Among those chewing over the ripe dialogue, Julia Roberts excels as daughter Barbara, terrified of ending up like Mum. Paul Howlett
