TV tonight: what happened when a Black broadcaster visited a âwhites-onlyâ town in South Africa? | TelevisionWhites Only: Adeâs Extremist Adventure10pm, Channel 4The Nigerian British journalist Ade Adepitan is impressively open-minded and curious when he becomes the first Black person to spend a week in Orania, a âwhites-onlyâ town in South Africa. Orania occupies a strange position in the country â despite regularly being viewed as an attempt to revive or preserve the poisonous ideas underpinning apartheid, it is largely ignored by the South African authorities. As Adepitan speaks to local people, visits a school (where he watches an excruciating play) and gets kicked out of the communityâs largest Afrikaner Protestant church, he asks the necessary but uncomfortable questions â and the hostility becomes increasingly palpable. Hollie Richardson Coma9pm, Channel 5Jason Watkins gives great ordinary-bloke-accidentally-turned-criminal in this drama, which is on throughout the week.

But then the boyâs âgangsterâ father takes him for a thank-you pint ⦠Outnumberedâs Claire Skinner co-stars.

HR 24 Hours in A&E9pm, Channel 4Another hectic day at Queenâs Medical Centre in Nottingham as staff assess the victim of a riding accident and comfort a girl who is stressed out by the clinical setting. Elsewhere, an affable hospital security guard reflects on how his job has changed, while a patient who is inseparable from his parrot sets tongues wagging. Graeme Virtue Curb Your Enthusiasm9pm, Sky ComedyTwo of Curbâs most rewarding tropes combine this week, as the final season continues. If there is one thing more likely to lead to strife than a passing acquaintance making what Larry deems to be an unreasonable demand, itâs other people trying to adopt Larryâs tricks for evading similar obligations. Nevertheless, Jeff and Freddy think they have a chance. Jack Seale Film choiceThe Long Good Friday (John Mackenzie, 1980), 11.10pm, Film4 Live sportSnooker: World Open, 6.30am, Eurosport 1.
