TV tonight: the addictive American Crime Story returns with Monica and Bill
Impeachment: American Crime Story
9:15pm, BBC Two
As the latest salvo in the addictive anthology strand that brought us The Assassination of Gianni Versace begins, Bill Clinton is nowhere to be seen. Instead, the focus is on the network of competing interests, fevered egos and general bottom-feeders that swarm around the US presidency. Among them are an enigmatic young intern, Monica Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein) and Linda Tripp (Sarah Paulson), a middle-aged civil servant with grudges. Great, trashy fun. Phil Harrison
Black Panthers of WW2
8pm, Yesterday
A fine one-hour history of the US army’s all-Black 761st tank battalion, whose heroism during the second world war was part of an arduous fight for acceptance. The Battle of Bamber Bridge, a race riot in Lancashire, is one of many vicious indignities the men had to endure before they, ultimately, prevailed. Jack Seale
Ashley Banjo: Britain in Black and White
9pm, ITV
“I didn’t set out to become an activist but somehow, here I am.” When Diversity performed a pro-equality routine on Britain’s Got Talent in 2020, Ashley Banjo found himself at the centre of a storm. This film sees him explore his identity with the help of the actor David Harewood, the historian David Olusoga and, officially representing “balance”, an unreconstructed Jim Davidson. PH

Murder Island
9:15pm, Channel 4
The part-drama, part-reality contest based around the killing of a young woman hasn’t exactly felt like the most sensitive bit of scheduling this year. As it trundles on, the amateur detective duos – all playing for £50,000 – receive another clue, as they learn that Murder Island may also be Drug Running Island. Hannah J Davies
How We Forgot to Save the Planet
10:15pm, Channel 4
Why haven’t we acted on the climate crisis? It’s arguably the question underpinning the current era – after all, humans are facing an existential threat with a terrifying degree of equanimity. Ahead of the Cop26 summit, Kieran Hodgson addresses the issue with the help of fellow comics Morgana Robinson and Simon Bird. But is this a laughing matter? PH
