This Is Gay
9.45pm, BBC Three
A season of comedy mini-pilots begins with this patchy but periodically amusing, tongue-in-cheek exploration of what it means to be gay in modern Britain. Highlights include a singing fridge’s plaintive view of a failing relationship and a funeral disrupted by several unfortunate Grindr interventions. Asha Reid stars. Phil Harrison

Ten Pound Poms
9pm, BBC One
Life is not getting much easier for the postwar immigrants in Oz. While a kind turn gets Kate (Michelle Keegan) one step closer to reuniting with her son, Terry (Warren Brown) is digging holes for himself, both literal and metaphorical, when it comes to wife Annie (Faye Marsay) and their pregnant teenage daughter (Hattie Hook). Ellen E Jones
Gods of Tennis
9pm, BBC Two
“On some level, there were anger issues.” A masterly piece of understated self-analysis from John McEnroe, barely scratching the surface of the intensity with which he blazed across men’s tennis. The second episode of this entertaining series tracks his rivalry with Björn Borg, whose icy demeanour masked a comparably turbulent personality. PH

Clueless, 2pm, Channel 4
Amy Heckerling triumphantly transposes the Regency era of Jane Austen’s Emma to a Beverly Hills high school in her seminal 1995 romcom. Alicia Silverstone plays teenager Cher, privileged and cliquey but sweet and guileless. When she takes new girl Tai (Brittany Murphy) under her wing, she comes to realise that she doesn’t actually know what’s best for others – or even herself. It’s a terrifically funny film, with a spot-on performance from Silverstone as a girl at ease in her own bubble but comically out of place almost everywhere else. Simon Wardell
The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 10pm, BBC Two
“Let’s do the time warp again!” Feel free to indulge in some audience participation (costumes, callbacks, throwing toast) from your sofa as the rock musical with impeccable singalong credentials returns. A pastiche of 50s B-movie sci-fi horror, this Frankenstein revamp stars Tim Curry as Dr Frank-N-Furter, the archetypal mad scientist bent on creating his ideal man. Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon are sacrificial lambs Brad and Janet, suburban virgins drawn into his realm of malleable sexuality and legality, set to wonderfully catchy tunes by Richard O’Brien.
