Storyville: Inheriting the Castle
10pm, BBC Four
Justina, 60, has lived and later worked as a maid in a crumbling, eccentric mansion in rural Argentina since she was five. When Justina’s socialite employer died, she left her the property, with one stipulation – she must not sell it. Is she the owner or still a servant? This fascinating and emotionally complex documentary follows Justina, an Indigenous Argentinian, and her grownup daughter, Alexia, who wants out. Hollie Richardson

Another life-or-death dispatch from the Royal Marsden hospital, where 30-year-old Lauren’s ultra-rare cancer presents two challenges: removal; and providing assurances that it won’t come back.

The Baby Scandal That Shocked the World

In the early days of the internet, a desperate mother in Arkansas put her twin babies up for adoption with an agency named Caring Heart.

Gym bro Andy (Allan Mustafa) thinks low testosterone might be the root of his problems (“I haven’t been into football as much recently … and I haven’t punched a wall for years”), but his sensible GP (Ghosts’ Kiell Smith-Bynoe) isn’t convinced and won’t prescribe pills. Perhaps the pre-workout energy drink championed by Kara (Saffron Hocking) is the answer? EEJ
The Rest Is Politics: Election Special
11.05pm, Channel 4
Two days before all hell breaks loose, Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell present their Election Special grand final, cheerfully picking over the shambles of a government on death row – while anticipating, at the very least, a semantically accurate “change”. Dear God, please. Ali Catterall
Film choice
Brighton Rock (John Boulting, 1948), 2.20pm, Talking Pictures TV
Still the best film adaptation of a Graham Greene novel. A 25-year-old Richard Attenborough is on lacerating form as the gangster Pinkie Brown, trying to cover up a murder in the gaudy seaside resort that, in Greene’s hands, becomes a postlapsarian nightmare stewing in fleeting pleasures and Catholic damnation. The jury is still out on whether the new “happy” ending concocted by Greene to dodge the censors is a cop-out – or even more cynical than the novel itself. Phil Hoad
