My Insta Scammer Friend
9pm, BBC Three
In 2019, the internet couldn’t stop talking about Caroline Calloway. The original Instagram influencer was the subject of a viral long read penned by her former friend Natalie Beach for New York Magazine’s The Cut. This documentary hears from Beach about her claims that Calloway is a phoney shrouded in lies and scandals, and examines how Calloway publicly dealt with the aftermath. It also speaks with the “followers” who paid money to attend workshops held by Calloway, which they went on to criticise. Hollie Richardson
Big Oil v the World

What happened when a former oil executive became the president of the US, one of the biggest offenders in the climate crisis, in 2000?

The Undeclared War
9pm, Channel 4
It’s the penultimate episode of this slightly ponderous cyberdrama. The peculiar election results have caused civil disorder but that’s almost the least of it – the collapse of watertight firewalls suggests that GCHQ has been compromised. At the heart of it all, Saara (the excellent Hannah Khalique-Brown) faces a race against time. Phil Harrison
The Baby
9pm, Sky Atlantic

The Lazarus Project
9pm, Sky Max
Amid all the time-hopping, apocalypse-averting and romantic-gesturing, George (Paapa Essiedu) has forgotten about something important: what does his girlfriend Sarah (Charly Clive) actually want? Now that poor, framed Shiv (Rudi Dharmalingam) is closing in, with “checkpoint night” (when the timeline resets) following close behind, George must be wondering why he bothered. Ellen E Jones

Only You (Harry Wootliff, 2018), 11.10pm, BBC One
A meet-cute in a Glasgow taxi on New Year’s Eve rapidly leads to a fine romance for 35-year-old Elena (Laia Costa) and 26-year-old Jake (Josh O’Connor). But this involving film is more interested in what comes after, when having a baby puts a huge strain on their nascent relationship. Elena’s frustrated desire to be a mother and worries about the couple’s age gap engulf her and alienate Jake. It’s a messily human drama, superbly performed in what is essentially a two-hander, while the handheld, closeup camerawork gives events a restless energy. Simon Wardell
