Louis Theroux: Selling Sex
9pm, BBC Two
Back from his sojourn in the US, Louis is tackling one of his most familiar topics: sex. He has previously covered everything from the porn industry to legal brothels and now he turns his awkwardly inquisitive gaze to British sex work. Theroux meets a new generation of tech-savvy sex workers who are utilising the internet to make a living. Beneath the straight-faced narration, Theroux probes whether selling sex can ever be safe or if its continued secrecy is the very thing putting its workers in danger. Ammar Kalia

The Speedshop
8pm, BBC Two
The BBC has finally found its very own Guy Martin. His name is Titch Cormack and he’s a former special forces soldier who now specialises in carrying out motorbike modifications in his “souped-up man cave”. Among other missions, tonight he’s adapting a bike for an ex-para whose leg has been amputated. Phil Harrison
The Trial of Christine Keeler
9pm, BBC One
Pull up a chair, because Christine has a photoshoot booked. Any Profumo affair retelling would feel incomplete without referencing the 1963 image that become synonymous with the scandal. But as with the rest of this multifaceted dramatisation, writer Amanda Coe uses the familiar to dig a little deeper. Graeme Virtue

Film choice
Ocean’s Eleven, 5.45pm, Channel 5
Steven Soderbergh’s loose remake of the Rat Pack’s self-indulgent 1960 caper movie is smarter, glitzier and funnier than the original. George Clooney is sharp and suave as Danny Ocean, straight out of jail and planning to hit three LA casinos for $150m, aided by a stellar gang that includes Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. Paul Howlett
