Ministry of Evil: The Twisted Cult of Tony Alamo

10pm, BBC Four

“Tony and Susie were our gods.” “You didn’t ever dream of questioning them.” “I know he was raping those kids and beating them, because he had done it to me.” In this intense four-part documentary series, survivors help tell the story of Tony Alamo and his wife Susan, who set up the Alamo Christian Foundation, then abused their followers. It includes an exclusive videotaped deposition with Alamo. Hollie Richardson

Interior Design Masters With Alan Carr

8pm, BBC One

The remaining contestants – a really funny, positive gang – take on the type of dwelling that it sometimes feels will soon be every household in Britain: rental apartments.

Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable

10pm, Dave

Ross Kemp, Shirley Ballas and Rosie Jones are this week’s contestants, with Ballas sharing an eyebrow-raising anecdote about drunkenly snogging an engaged female dance adjudicator. Will it convince Giedroyc and her assistant, Lou Sanders, that she is the most unforgivable person in the room? HR

The Dropout

10.40pm, BBC One

It’s the final double bill of the series, which means the dogged investigative reporter Carreyrou (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is closing in on the Theranos fraudsters. Green juice and greed makes for a heady cocktail, but while Amanda Seyfried entertainingly inhabits all of Elizabeth Holmes’s eccentricities, the series is also careful to detail the human cost of this scam.
