Mad Women
10pm, Channel 4
“Have you ever wondered how men would carry on if they had periods?” is a tagline that the trailblazing ad woman Barbara Nokes – a real-life Peggy Olsen from Mad Men – used for Dr White’s period products in the 70s. She went on to subvert the male gaze with her famed Levi’s launderette ad, in which a man strips off. This documentary celebrates women who revolutionised the advertising industry during the decade of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and beyond. Hollie Richardson
The Greatest Auction

Turkey: Empire of Erdoğan
9pm, BBC Two
From growing up in one of Istanbul’s poorest regions to being Turkey’s president for almost two decades, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s rise to power was fiercely supported by many – but this two-part documentary, which tells his story via insiders including the former president Abdullah Gül, also details how in recent years he has been seen more as a dictator.

Colin from Accounts
10pm, BBC Two
It wouldn’t be a romcom without the odd bedroom scene, but normally they don’t involve the female lead being dragged from her bed so it can be sold. As the low-key, charming tale of the burgeoning relationship between Ashley and Gordon continues, can the brewer convince his lover to return to his place? Alexi Duggins
Storyville: Blue Bag Life
10pm, BBC Four
Another documentary gem from Storyville – this time an award winner at last year’s London film festival. After the loss of her mother and her mother’s partner to heroin addiction, the artist Lisa Selby stitches together her “emotional hoarding” (smartphone videos, voicemails, photos) into a beautiful artefact of love and longing. Ellen E Jones
Perry Mason

The hard-edged LA noir full of smoky jazz trumpet and gorgeous 1930s period detail continues its second season, with our rumpled hero lawyer (Matthew Rhys) getting entangled in the violent murder of an oil company heir. When two young Mexican brothers are lifted for the killing, can Mason’s impoverished firm find a way to fund a defence? Graeme Virtue

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (Nathan Price, 2023), Netflix
Self-help books can fall victim to “delusional positivity”, says Mark Manson, but his 2016 bestseller – off which this pithy documentary riffs – is cut from very different cloth. Manson introduces us to its main tenets (learned via his personal history of failure) under headings such as You Are Not Special and Happiness Is a Problem. Featuring case studies as unusual as Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and a second world war Japanese soldier who never surrendered, he offers up his wisdom with a light touch. Simon Wardell
