Britain’s Next Air Disaster? Drones
9.30pm, BBC Two
You only have to consider the closures prompted last year by the drone sightings at Gatwick to realise how much disruption this rapidly evolving technology can cause in the wrong hands. No wonder, then, that governments are desperate to understand the risks. And that’s where this film comes in. From rogue hobbyists to terrorist attacks, the risk adviser Aldo Kane assesses the threat posed by drones to UK airspace, asking: how can we keep our skies safe? Mike Bradley

Trawlermen: Celebs at Sea
9pm, Channel 5
A more involving than average celebrity-reality stunt: three C-listers join the crew of a fishing trawler off northern Scotland. Shane Lynch, Ben Cohen and Antony Worrall Thompson are excitingly close to death in the opening episode, although the real test is below deck: gutting live fish at speed. More tomorrow. Jack Seale
Big Little Lies
9pm, Sky Atlantic
They go all out on entertaining in Monterey. The Halloween social calendar includes eight-year-old Amabella’s disco-themed birthday bash and a pumpkin-carving party. Yet Meryl Streep’s Mary Louise remains the most terrifying ghoul of all, as her blood-curdling scream should have hinted. Ellen E Jones
Waco

Andrea Riseborough, Michael Shannon and Taylor Kitsch star in a gripping six-parter about the last days of Branch Davidian leader, David Koresh, and the extraordinary events that led to the 51-day FBI/ATF siege of the cult’s compound outside Waco, Texas. It weaves a spell almost as mesmerising as the one Koresh himself was able to cast over his unfortunate followers. MB
Year of the Rabbit

Regularly rejuvenated by an endless supply of lewd expressions accompanying ever more ludicrous plots, the Victorian police spoof is winning more and more hearts by the week.
