The Met: Policing London
9pm, BBC1
Compellingly edited PR for London’s police force. Filmed last summer, here we follow likable young PCs Laura and Oz as they go about their business: from a high-speed pursuit at dawn, to moving on the homeless, to a lively gathering in Hyde Park that ends in a stabbing. Elsewhere, Vicky patrols Stratford’s Romford Road, trying to rehabilitate sex workers one person at a time, and building a case against the man who may be profiting from them. John Robinson
Heathrow: Britain’s Busiest Airport
9pm, ITV
Concluding the documentary series exploring the workings of Britain’s best-known airport. With 100,000 passengers filtered through each day, keeping Heathrow humming as flights are cancelled, delayed or disrupted seems a sisyphean task. Not least when angry passengers confront passenger experience manager Numan after their flight to New York is cancelled, demanding an immediate resolution to their plight. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Secrets of the Super Elements
9pm, BBC4
It may be a gimmick but it serves a purpose: Professor Mark Miodownik’s magical film is the first BBC documentary to be filmed on a smartphone – the better to showcase the uses of a fantastical metal called indium. It’s among those super-elements whose stocks are depleting, such as heat-resistant rhenium – whose use results in cheaper airfares. As fun as this exploration is, the clear message here is: let’s recycle more, exploit less. Ali Catterall
White Gold
10pm, BBC2
Comedy by Damon Beesley of The Inbetweeners fame, with James Buckley and Joe Thomas (also of The Inbetweeners fame) reuniting as double-glazing salesmen. It’s set in the 80s, so the nostalgia is as thick and gloopy as a Starbar. If you like your dialogue from the Guy Ritchie school of verbose mockney geezerish, then you’re in luck, as their swaggering boss Vincent (Ed Westwick) forces it right down your throat every second he’s on screen. A truly punchable show. Ben Arnold
Public Enemy
10pm, Sky Atlantic
As suspicions grow that recently released serial killer Béranger might not be responsible for the murder of the young girl found at the church, Chloe helps put him in contact with his No 1 fan, leading to a fateful confrontation. Meanwhile, as opinion is divided at the abbey over Béranger’s continued presence there, testing their Christian values to the utmost, it is decided that he should be set a task to test his convictions.

Your Face or Mine?
8pm, Comedy Central
Jimmy Carr and Katherine Ryan are the hosts in this vacuous couples’ challenge. While Ryan is warm and funny, Carr showcases his superior attitude, as if he has forgotten why he agreed to present the show. After the audience rank both celebrities and civilians from “hottest to nottest”, the couple in question must try to guess who they think is better looking. Even the most devoted watcher of shallow telly will find it uncomfortable. Hannah Verdier
Film choice
Nicholas and Alexandra (Franklin J Schaffner, 1971) 2.30am, Sony Movie Channel
This lavish historical epic chronicles the reign and demise of the last Russian tsar and his wife. Michael Jayston and Janet Suzman are touching as Nicholas and Alexandra, too preoccupied with their ailing son Alexis (Roderic Noble) to run the country properly. It’s a long haul to their execution in 1918, but the design is sumptuous, set-pieces grand and Tom Baker makes for a colourful Rasputin. Paul Howlett
