The Real Mo Farah
9pm, BBC One
Earlier this week, Mo Farah – the most successful British track athlete in Olympics Games history – made the shocking announcement that he was trafficked to the UK as a child and forced into domestic servitude. Farah – who reveals here his birth name was Hussein Abdi Kahin – had previously said that he came to the UK with his father as refugees when he was eight-years-old; the reality was that his father was killed in civil violence in Somalia. In this landmark documentary, the gold medalist tells his extraordinary story, with an aim to challenge public perceptions of trafficking and slavery. Hollie Richardson

“Not many people are lucky enough to say they have the shortest commute in Peterborough and still get to live with their dad.” In this funny three-episode ode to the British high street, affable and earnest loser Russell (People Just Do Nothing’s Hugo Chegwin) is made manager of the Sports Depot he has worked at for nine years. With a vacuum-tight comedy script, he deadpans his way through new responsibilities while managing his motley crew of staff, played deftly by Big Zuu, Francesca Mills and Lucia Keskin. A storyline about sexting – taking saucy selfies in a changing room with a dirty nappy in the background – is enough to bring out some barks of laughter by itself. HR

The third season opens with typical comic melancholy: Paul (Martin Freeman) is staying at his mother-in-law’s after a fight with Luke, watching his family through their security cameras. Will a reunion dinner ease tensions? Well-timed (and needed) jokes lighten this fraught family drama. Henry Wong
