The Stones and Brian Jones

9pm, BBC Two

“He was the heart and soul of the Stones, yet most people today haven’t even heard of him.” For his latest documentary, Nick Broomfield delves into the life of the Rolling Stones founder and lead guitarist Brian Jones, who died when he was just 27 years old. Broomfield uses plenty of archive footage released for the first time, which really brings the buzz of the 60s to life. Hollie Richardson

Panorama: Private ADHD Clinics Exposed

8pm, BBC One

Increasing numbers of British adults believe they have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). With the NHS struggling to cope, private clinics have stepped in and, what do you know, some might be more interested in money than accurate diagnoses. Rory Carson poses as a patient to investigate.

Steeltown Murders

9pm, BBC One

This bleak but well-handled drama is based on the real story of three young women who were murdered in Port Talbot in 1973 – and whose killer wasn’t known until pioneering DNA evidence was used almost 30 years later. The mystery unfolds over four episodes, with an impressive cast that includes Philip Glenister (Life on Mars) and Steffan Rhodri (Gavin and Stacey) as the detectives who reopen the case. HR

Without Sin

9pm, ITV

Previously streamed on ITVX, this four-parter harnesses all the conventions of the classic ITV thriller. Vicky McClure plays Stella, a brittle woman dealing with a dark personal tragedy and occasionally sleeping with her ex. Cliches aside, the denouement of episode one – with its mystery element – might just get you hooked. Hannah J Davies

Succession

9pm, Sky Atlantic

Anyone else physically wince at Tom’s nasty jibe about Shiv not being meant to be a mother last week? Ouch. After juggling fire since Logan’s death (that is, all the dumb but powerful men she’s up against), it feels as if everything is about to go up in flames for her. But there’s no time to pause: it’s election night. HR

Barry

9pm, Sky Comedy

After an audacious mid-season reset, the hitman morality tale starring Bill Hader is now gathering momentum as its ultimate finale looms. Characters beloved and feared are coming out of the woodwork, with Barry himself headed back to LA after an unexpected furlough. His first stop? A gun shop (never a good sign in this show).

Marathon Man (John Schlesinger, 1976), 10pm, Sky Cinema Greats
“Is it safe?” Probably best to skip this movie if you’ve got a dentist’s appointment, as Laurence Olivier’s most-wanted Nazi war criminal Szell wields his surgical drill in search of information. The “patient” is Dustin Hoffman’s New York history student Babe, drawn into a conspiracy involving his secret agent brother Doc (Roy Scheider). John Schlesinger’s 1976 film came out when paranoia thrillers were all the rage, and it digs fruitfully into worries about the ways we are governed – and how history can come back to bite us.
