Anna: The Woman Who Went to Fight Isis
9.30pm, BBC Two
In 2017, Anna Campbell, 25, left the town of Lewes to travel in secret to northern Syria, where a feminist democracy had been established. Eight months later, she was killed fighting against Isis with the Kurdish Women’s Protection Units. With access to her diary, this film tells her tale. Mike Bradley
Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier
10pm, Dave
This whimsical show, built in the neurotic but sharp-witted image of its host, returns for a second series. Given that Richardson has made a career out of being a fusspot, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that the format has been tweaked. The panel discussing their anxieties has expanded from two to three – kicking off with Joe Wilkinson, Kiri Pritchard-McLean and, bravely, Richardson’s wife, Lucy Beaumont – and there is a new “Worry Lab” area to allow for extra slapstick. Graeme Virtue.
Inside the Ritz Hotel
8pm, ITV
Distinguished guests including the US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the milliner Philip Treacy and actor Richard E Grant contribute to this paean to the “grande dame of Piccadilly”, created in 1906.

The River: A Year in the Life of the Tay
9pm, BBC Four
Naturalist and author of H is for Hawk, Helen Macdonald, makes the ideal guide for this fascinating feature-length film about a source-to-sea journey along Scotland’s River Tay. Geography, geology and natural history combine in a poetic portrait of “one vast ecosystem” that stretches 120 miles. MB

Film choice
The Hitch-Hiker 2.15am, Talking Pictures
Ida Lupino, the Brixton-born danger-woman in thrillers such as High Sierra and They Drive by Night, moved behind the camera here to fine effect. Her taut B-movie has two friends travelling through sun-baked Mexico and stopping for a hitcher: serial killer William Talman. Bad move, boys. Paul Howlett
