Rage Against the Regime: Iran
9pm, BBC Two
“I can’t have any opinions on this; it would be dangerous for me.” “I spit on this old man.” “The reason for all our miseries.” These are the reactions of three people living in self-exile from Iran (they could face imprisonment if they return under the current regime) when shown a photo of the country’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. Together they explain the mass anti-government protests that have erupted across Iran since 2009. Hollie Richardson

After the Party
9pm, Channel 4
This drama about an alleged sexual assault within a New Zealand family has an intensity that borders on uncomfortable. But it is worth persevering for the fine performances from Peter Mullan and Robyn Malcolm. Penny’s grief for her mother pushes her relationship with Simon into dangerous areas, while Phil is in a dubious position of trust again. Phil Harrison

Film choice
Manhunter (Michael Mann, 1986), midnight, BBC One
Five years before The Silence of the Lambs, Mann’s third film was the first on-screen outing for serial killer Hannibal Lecktor (as it was spelled in this version), but compared with Anthony Hopkins, this was a restrained performance from Brian Cox. Instead, all the prima donna attitude emanates from William Petersen’s FBI investigator, fretting about staring into the abyss as he chases down the Red Dragon psychopath with Lecktor’s help. Mann lords it up, too, in entrancing 80s style: the sequence when Tom Noonan gets a blind girl to pet a sedated tiger is a showstopper. Phil Hoad
