The School That Tried to End Racism
9pm, Channel 4
Thought-provoking series following Glenthorne school in south London as it embarks upon a programme to tackle unconscious racial bias. It is amusing at first: “This is the most fun racist game I’ve ever played!” says one kid as he completes a video task. But it soon becomes seriously uncomfortable as children become genuinely upset at being asked to separate along racial lines and associate negative words with certain ethnic groups. Tough but necessary. Phil Harrison
