Ellie Simmonds: A World Without Dwarfism?
9pm, BBC One
“I’m pretty much against it,” Olympian swimmer Ellie Simmonds says at the start of this documentary exploring vosoritide, a drug that promises to make children with dwarfism grow closer to average height. “Is it changing being a dwarf? I’m not a fan of that.” But she’s open to all sides of the debate and meets families who say the drug could improve their lives. All the while, though, Simmonds asks if this is another way in which “the average-sized world is trying to change people like me rather than accepting us”. Hollie Richardson

99 Homes (Ramin Bahrani, 2014) 11.15pm, BBC Two
Ramin Bahrani’s plucked-from-the-headlines drama brings a personal touch to the statistics about the many Americans made homeless by the late-00s financial crash. The ever-relatable Andrew Garfield plays Florida construction worker Dennis, who is evicted with his family by real estate broker Rick Carver (Michael Shannon at his most cynical). In his desperation, Dennis ends up working for Carver, profiting from the misery of others in an unregulated, capitalist free-for-all. It’s a cautionary tale of gaining the whole world but losing your soul, à la Glengarry Glen Ross, viewed with a clinical eye. Simon Wardell
