Unreported World

7.30pm, Channel 4
This documentary strand may be a bleak testimony to the amount of misery the world is capable of generating, but it remains as essential as ever. Krishnan Guru-Murthy is in Sudan exploring the horrific facets of the ongoing civil war: about 30 million people need humanitarian assistance, certain regions are experiencing famine and the conflict rumbles brutally on – bombings, executions and sexual violence are rife. Phil Harrison

The last subject for this moving modern portrait series is 20-year-old student Millie, who has Down’s syndrome and is campaigning for equal abortion laws. Currently, abortion is legal up to the 24th week of pregnancy in most cases, but where a disability is detected, it is permitted up until birth. Hollie Richardson

One Question

8pm, Channel 4
Claudia Winkleman’s takeover of light entertainment continues apace with this deceptively difficult quizshow in which contestants have to answer a single question. It’s the turn of retired Cardiff couple Terry and Angela and Yorkshire uncle-and-nephew team Peter and Jamie to try their luck. PH

Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job

8.30pm, BBC One
After months of renovation, Amanda Holden and Alan Carr have almost finished transforming a run-down Granada townhouse into a B&B. Their final challenge? Design a bar. That means a boozy research trip to Jerez and working out how to make an onyx countertop “glow like ET’s fingers”. Graeme Virtue

Death in Paradise

9pm, BBC One
The penultimate episode of the sun-kissed Caribbean whodunnit starts with a flashback to the last movements of DI Mervin Wilson’s mother before she was murdered. Back in the present, Mervin (Don Gilet) has reopened her case and there is one very fishy prime suspect – but why can’t the detective collar him? HR

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One, 11am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

With its creator and star Kevin Costner anticipating three more chapters, the first tranche of his epic western has a definite scene-setting mood. It revolves around the nascent Arizona frontier settlement of Horizon at the start of the civil war. Folk for whom the dream of a town could become a reality – though the local Apaches have their own views on it – include Sienna Miller’s homesteader, Costner’s horse trader and a wagon train led by Luke Wilson’s trail boss.

Medusa Deluxe, 11.05pm, BBC Two

Thomas Hardiman’s one-camera whodunnit roams around backstage at a regional hairdressing contest where one competitor has just been murdered. As the stylists and models come to terms with the death, gossip and rumour swirl in the air alongside copious clouds of hairspray. The suspects include the dead man’s main rival Cleve (a marvellously angry Clare Perkins), Darrell D’Silva’s event organiser Rene, and Kendra (Harriet Webb), who may or may not have fixed the result. The single-shot technique keeps things bubbling, while the hairdos are suitably outrageous. SW

The French Dispatch, 11.20pm, Film4

Arguably the most Wes Andersony of all Wes Anderson’s films, this whimsical doll’s house of a comedy dramatises the contents of a fictional American magazine based in Ennui-sur-Blasé, France. Sections include Tilda Swinton’s art critic celebrating Benicio del Toro’s jailed killer turned painter, Frances McDormand’s reporter taking in a May 68-style student protest, and Jeffrey Wright’s James Baldwin-like food writer being caught up in a kidnapping. Gently satirical, with nods to the Nouvelle Vague, Jacques Tati and the New Yorker, it’s a feast for the eyes. SW
