The Abused
9pm, Channel 5
This devastating feature-length documentary about domestic abuse tells the terrifying stories of two women, Hazel and Kelly, (pictured) who were attacked in the same week in Norfolk. It considers the police investigations into the crimes and highlights the importance of Clare’s law, which allows people to ask authorities if their partner has a history of domestic violence. Followed by How to Leave an Abusive Partner Safely, in which experts outline steps that would “allow a victim of domestic abuse to prepare themselves emotionally and practically to walk away safely”.

The 15 Billion Pound Railway
9pm, BBC Two
The last time this series rumbled down Auntie’s tracks, engineers were looking forward to launching the Elizabeth Line in May … 2017.

Bite Club
9pm, Alibi
An Australian cop show with a cast of Home and Away veterans and a premise that beggars belief: a detective duo who survived a shark attack off a Sydney beach join forces to “hunt down a serial killer who is also hunting them”. Starring Dominic Monaghan, whose appearance as a hobbit in The Lord of the Rings trilogy must seem like a lifetime ago. MB
Pure
10pm, Channel 4
After last week’s shagathon, Marnie (Charly Clive) renews her pursuit of healthy balance.
