Silenced: The Hidden Story of Disabled Britain

9pm, BBC Two

Cerrie Burnell fronts this incisive and moving documentary charting the history of British attitudes towards disabled people and their own campaigns against injustices. Talking through her experiences of discrimination when she was hired on children’s TV, Burnell then details how the Victorian segregation of disabled people instilled prejudicial attitudes. Finally, she meets Alia Hassan, who recounts her campaign for accessible public transport in the 80s. Ammar Kalia

The Architecture the Railways Built

8pm, Yesterday

Tim Dunn returns with his excellent series about train travel’s most magnificent bridges and buildings. His opening guide to how Wemyss Bay became the gateway to the Isle of Bute in the 1860s is typically clear and enthused. From there, he moves on to the finest stations of London and Porto. Jack Seale

Traces

’Til Kingdom Come: Trump, Faith and Money

9pm, BBC Four

Staged

9.45pm, BBC One

Michael and David’s relationship further deteriorates; as Georgia and Lucy grow weary of mediating – “Have you ever heard of the Bechdel test?” asks Georgia – the project is in real danger. Perhaps two potential cast members (Jim Parsons and Josh Gad) can offer a fresh perspective on these “characters”. Ellen E Jones

The Grudge (Takashi Shimizu, 2004), 12.55am, Horror Channel
Shimizu’s US remake of his Japanese haunted-house horror adds the genre conventions western audiences expect, but retains the original’s creepy intelligence. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a social worker who makes a house call on the wrong dwelling: it is possessed by a demonic spirit fuelled by past violence. Paul Howlett
