Jamali Maddix: Follow the Leader

10pm, U&Dave

This new series sees comic Jamali Maddix spend time with marginal communities in the US. He begins in the grim and often bizarre world of paedophile hunters. The motivations are murky – while these people claim to be on a moral crusade, most are also making good money via YouTube channels and even live, in-person stings. Where does vigilantism end and grifting begin? Phil Harrison

M&S: Dress the Nation

8pm, ITV1

Marks & Spencer is often regarded as a slightly conservative sartorial choice. This series (presented by AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay) aims to change that perception as 10 amateur designers compete to land a job as a junior fashion designer for the chain. The series begins with a womenswear challenge judged by Mel B. PH

The events of 6 January 2021, when supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, have cast a shadow over the US presidential election: in the context of his attempted coup, might they try something similar again?

Where is Ashley? When his other half fails to show for dinner, this perfect Australian comedy sends Gordon (Patrick Brammall) on a wander around Sydney in search of her; then we see where Ashley (Harriet Dyer) went, and go on a second wild goose chase with her. It’s a chance for the show to feature one-off eccentrics alongside its roster of regulars. Jack Seale

Corridors of Power: Should America Police the World?

10pm, BBC Four

“I believe force can be justified on humanitarian grounds,” said President Obama in his 2009 Nobel peace prize acceptance speech. And yet, as this penultimate episode shows, the chaotic aftermath of the Arab spring uprisings, particularly in Libya, would give him pause – and four years later, lead him to reach instead for diplomacy in the face of Bashar al-Assad’s chemical warfare.
