Will.i.am: The Blackprint
9pm, ITV
While this entry-level crash course in Black British history might feel a little basic, will.i.am’s frequent incredulity at the extent of historical (and current) British racism might well strike a few chords. He begins his documentary with slavery in Liverpool before visiting Peckham and Bristol and realising that, really, the main significant difference between race relations in Britain and the United States is the conflict accelerant that is the gun. Phil Harrison
Jerusalem
7.30pm, PBS America
One of the oldest cities in the world, Jerusalem looms large in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions. This documentary shadows three young local people – one from each faith – over the course of a year, while archaeologist Dr Jodi Magness provides historical context. Graeme Virtue
The Hairy Bikers Go North
8pm, BBC Two
Good luck getting a table at the Black Swan, Oldstead, after this: the kitchen-garden restaurant is the most impressive stop on a tour of North Yorkshire that celebrates hyper-local produce. Jack Seale
Taskmaster
9pm, Channel 4
Guz Khan composes a new song, Morgana Robinson covers herself in peas and Desiree Burch makes a political statement with jam. The peculiarly addictive, even oddly poignant affair, is back for a 12th series, as Greg Davies’s eponymous mad god puts the latest lost souls through their pointless paces. Ali Catterall
Myleene: Miscarriage and Me
9pm, W
A poignant one-off documentary in which broadcaster and musician Myleene Klass opens up about her four miscarriages.

Film choice
Millions Like Us (Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, 1943), 11am, Film4
It is possible that the messages to be gleaned from British second-world-war propaganda films such as this will have changed since Brexit, but Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat’s 1943 drama is actually a rewardingly multifaceted look at the jumbling of class and gender roles forced by a nation standing alone. Patricia Roc plays a young, working-class woman who does her bit by getting a job in an arms factory, alongside a cross-section of regional and social types – with a guest slot for upper-class twits Charters and Caldicott from The Lady Vanishes. Despite the “all in it together” theme, the horrors of war are not ignored. Simon Wardell
