The Unique Boutique
10pm, Channel 4
We have come a long way since the dark days of the body-shaming makeover shows of the 00s, such as 10 Years Younger and What Not to Wear. Rather than telling people how to dress, the hosts of this joyous new series invite people not served by the mainstream fashion industry into their boutique and ask them what they want from their clothing. Take Emma-Jane, who is going to an event and is looking for a posh frock that looks fabulous and is easy to wear in a wheelchair. Stylist Victoria, model Triple Minor, body confidence coach Natalie and celebrity stylist David get to work on what they call “dopamine dressing”. The results are tear-jerking, but in the most uplifting way. Hollie Richardson
Dreaming Whilst Black
10pm, BBC Three
Adjani Salmon created and stars in this six-part comedy, based on the hit 2018 web series of the same name. It follows Kwabena, a twentysomething who is fed up with the daily micro-aggressions he faces in the dreary recruitment office in which he works and dreams of a career in film-making. Each half-hour episode is sharp and funny, but also has a lot to say about what it is to be a Black creative. HR
Extraordinary Portraits with Bill Bailey
8.30pm, BBC One
You can see the thrill of inspiration in artist Jemisha Maadhavji’s face when she first meets her subject. Grace, an A&E doctor and wheelchair user, is exactly the kind of courageous spirit that Maadhavji loves to paint, and the pairing of these women makes for an especially moving episode of this always emotional show. Ellen E Jones
Gregg Wallace: The British Miracle Meat
8.30pm, Channel 4
The presenter investigates a cost-effective “new lab-grown meat” that has been created in response to the cost of living crisis. What exactly is it? Once he finds out, Wallace puts the “meat” to the ultimate test: serving a portion to Michel Roux Jr and getting the chef’s verdict. HR
The Sixth Commandment
9pm, BBC One
The gripping true-crime drama about an ingratiating shapeshifter who targets, exploits and murders vulnerable older people enters its final stretch. Thames Valley police are belatedly getting involved, but with a lack of concrete proof, will the chillingly self-assured Ben (Éanna Hardwicke) stay one step ahead? Concludes on Tuesday. Graeme Virtue
Long Lost Family
9pm, ITV1
If you have seen one Long Lost Family, you could be forgiven for thinking you have seen them all, but the emotional reactions are as profound as ever as Nicky Campbell and Davina McCall reunite more relatives. This week has two classic cases of children reluctantly abandoned, leading to half-siblings unaware of each other’s existence. Jack Seale
Film choice
Till (Chinonye Chukwu, 2022), Prime Video
The murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955 in Mississippi was a landmark moment in the history of racist oppression in the US – and it gets an appropriately furious treatment in Chinonye Chukwu’s fact-based drama. Danielle Deadwyler is passionate and affecting as Emmett’s mother, Mamie, whose fears about her bubbly, confident son leaving the safety of Chicago for the deep south, where racial tensions are more heightened, are tragically realised. The film skilfully shows how her grief and determination to get justice have to be weighed against the wider social impact, not least the political opportunity it offers for the Black civil rights movement.

Erin Brockovich (Steven Soderbergh, 2000), 9pm, Great! Movies
Julia Roberts rightly won an Oscar for her role in Steven Soderbergh’s 2000 biographical drama. As Erin, a hard-up single mother of three, she has an everywoman empathy and innate intelligence that sees her talk her way into a job with Albert Finney’s Californian law firm. Once there, she takes the lead on a case of industrial pollution by a gas and electric company, which led to health problems for hundreds of people. It’s the little folk v the big corporation, so it is easy to take sides, but there is plenty of wit and the thrill of the chase as Erin outsmarts the suits. SW
