Storyville: Inside Kabul
10pm, BBC Four
Raha and Marwa are two young women who, when the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, exchanged voice notes about their separate journeys. Raha stayed in Kabul where she was surrounded by violence, while Marwa left with her husband and found a refugee camp in Abu Dhabi. This beautifully animated documentary by Caroline Gillet and Denis Walgenwitz uses these voice notes to illustrate their experiences of the crisis. Hollie Richardson

Perry Mason
10.05pm, Sky Atlantic
The 30s-set legal reboot continues its second run, with Matthew Rhys as our titular PI turned lawman. As conspiracy theories mount, unsavoury new evidence forces Perry to reconsider the Gallardos’ version of events in the Brooks McCutcheon case – and to blow off some serious steam. HJD
Rain Dogs
10.40pm, BBC One
It’s the finale of Cash Carraway’s plucky comedy-drama and Costello has lost the book deal. Her well-meaning neighbour doesn’t exactly offer comforting words: “Most books are shite anyway.” As she continues on a downward spiral of booze and self-loathing, we’re given an ending that heavily hints a second series is on the cards.

Victim/Suspect (Nancy Schwartzman, 2023), Netflix
A damning indictment of US police work, Nancy Schwartzman’s documentary follows journalist Rae de Leon’s investigation into women who reported sexual assaults – and were then accused of lying about their attacks and prosecuted. Her four-year search turned up 200 such cases, and it’s shocking to hear and see – from police interview tapes – how vulnerable young people can find the tables turned on them. Detectives wedded to stereotypes are shown neglecting the basics of their job; they’re even legally allowed to lie (they call them “ruses”) to encourage victims to retract. The film focuses on the women’s lives damaged as a result but De Leon’s devotion to justice brings hope that times are changing. Simon Wardell
