The Town Taking On China
8pm, BBC2
Tony is a proprietor of two cushion factories: one in China, and one in his hometown of Kirby – one of the most depressed areas of Merseyside. Lately, Tony's been noticing that the overheads on his Chinese manufacturing no longer represent the value for money they once did. Unsurprisingly, this development has stirred his patriotic feeling and led him to get the TV cameras in to see if British workers can compete with their foreign counterparts. Not a game-changing doc, but one that at least puts names and faces to the dilemmas facing businesses. John Robinson
Celebrity Exposed
8pm, Sky Arts 1
Coming from a strict Jewish upbringing in Stoke Newington, Richard Young made for an unlikely celebrity photographer. Yet, from the moment he first laid his hands on a camera, this proto-papparazo showed a knack for snapping pics of 70s rock and movie stars at play that were vividly candid without being unflattering. His discretion and "Zen-like" gatecrashing abilities made him the one photographer who was welcomed into elite partying circles. Elton John, Peter York and Young himself pay testimony to his career.

Great Ormond Street
9pm, BBC2
In the oncology department at Great Ormond Street Hospital, doctors deal with children who have rare, tough-to-beat cancers. It's often heartbreaking work, with some of the hardest moments coming when debilitating treatments don't yield fervently hoped-for results. A fly-on-the-wall series that's tough to watch in places, such as when a young patient undergoes an operation to remove a tumour on his chest that's been constricting his breathing, but which ultimately leaves you in quiet awe of the sheer amount of courage and compassion on view.

Mad Men
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The suspicion at the outset of Mad Men's excellent fifth season was that Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and its employees would struggle with the dramatic cultural developments bubbling up around them. Thus far that notion has proven to be wrong, with Roger flourishing under the influence of mind-expanding hallucinogens, Don accepting his wife's input at work and at home, and Peggy boldly eschewing marriage in favour of more casual living arrangements. Matt Weiner's elegant drama has a habit for injecting a note of doom into proceedings so, as we edge ever closer to the season's conclusion, expect things to go characteristically awry.

More Sex Please, We're British
10pm, Channel 4
Lovehoney is a multimillion-pound sex toy business in Bath, receiving 11,000 orders a week for goods ranging from lingerie to erotic literature and games. In the returns department dozens of items arrive each day, often because they are "too big", while the bosses prepare for a takeover of high-end lingerie store Coco de Mer and an attempt to break into the US market. Be prepared for a few nudges and winks – it is a combination of Channel 4, sex and the British public, after all. Martin Skegg
Cardinal Burns
10pm, E4
This new comedy sketch show from Seb Cardinal and Dustin Demri-Burns is a mixed bag, both in the range of situations on show and in the variable levels of quality. The lower-sixth humour of vomiting policemen and zombie penis jokes is tedious, but there's more mileage in the scenes with the office flirt who has a new rival to contend with, and a profile of Banksy, who lives a dull life in the suburbs and buys art supplies in Homebase. Some amusingly offbeat stuff here – more please. MS
