Rebekah Vardy: Jehovah’s Witnesses and Me

10pm, Channel 4

A world away from the glossy drama of Wagatha, Rebekah Vardy tells her story of growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness and says the religion failed to support her after sexual abuse. Vardy speaks with former Jehovah’s Witnesses, the mother of a man who killed himself after being expelled and an ex-member who has gathered thousands of secret documents. Hollie Richardson

The Greatest Auction

8pm, Channel 4

A rare pinball machine signed by the pinball wizard himself, Elton John, and a fork from Saddam Hussein’s palace are just two of the (very kitsch) items our millionaires and private collectors will be battling to get their hands on, egged on by host AJ Odudu. Plus, who’ll be taking home a vintage “fly-o-plane” fairground attraction? Ali Catterall

Forensics: The Real CSI

9pm, BBC Two

Knowing the horrifically low number of convictions in rape cases in the UK makes this first episode of the latest forensics series more poignant. A 21-year-old woman has been raped in a derelict house in Birmingham – will the team find enough evidence to catch the perpetrator? HR

Colin from Accounts

10pm, BBC Two

TV’s most excruciating birthday dinner party is also one of the funniest in this week’s episode of the Aussie romcom. Ashley takes Gordon to her unbearable mother Lynelle’s house for the dreaded occasion, where Darren Gilshenan earns barks of laughter with his turn as Lynelle’s creepy partner Prof Lee. HR

Perry Mason

10.05pm, Sky Atlantic

The rebooted period drama starring Matthew Rhys as lawyer Mason continues. This week, there are unnerving echoes of the modern United States as the justice system conspires against Mason’s clients, the Gallardos, who go in front of a judge who appears to have made up his mind already. What can Mason’s team conjure up? Phil Harrison

Rain Dogs

10.40pm, BBC One

Costello has a book deal (“basically Oliver Twist but with big tits”) but there’s still a long way to go until she finally feels her head is safely above water. She needs to take a council house in Somerset, where she attempts to become a debt collector. Look out for a guest appearance by Karl Pilkington. HR

Moonlight (Barry Jenkins, 2016), 11.15pm, BBC Two
A triple Oscar winner (sorry, La La Land), Barry Jenkins’s drama takes a tale of repressed sexuality in a sinkhole of drugs and violence and crafts something tender and beautiful. The coming of age of Miami boy Chiron is portrayed in three episodes – as a kid with a crack-addicted mother (Naomie Harris) and a father figure in local drug lord Juan (Mahershala Ali), a bullied teenager, and a muscle-bound criminal adult. His heartbreaking failure to be true to himself is all-pervasive. Simon Wardell
