Gazza
9pm, BBC Two
Seared into the public psyche for the tabloid headlines he generated as much as his footballing prowess, Paul Gascoigne is a figure deeply, and somewhat dangerously, tied to his celebrity. This engrossing two-part documentary begins with the birth of “Gazza” the megastar, after his move to Tottenham Hotspur in 1988 for a record transfer fee. Now firmly in the public spotlight, his tears at the 1990 World Cup semi-finals give birth to what the Sun dubs “Gazzamania”, piling pressure on the young star. Ammar Kalia
Secrets of the Museum

Almost certainly the only programme this week to feature Minnie the Minx and Derek Jarman, here’s how costume designer Sandy Powell’s suit (auctioned to raise money for Jarman’s cottage) ends up at the Victoria and Albert Museum; and we meet the first female Beano artist, Laura Howell.

Raised By Wolves
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Despite its acidic oceans and funky flora, planet Kepler-22b is supposed to be a cosmic garden of Eden where androids and computers can rebuild the human race. Except that there is now a huge flying snake snacking on alarmed colonists. It certainly livens up this visually dazzling but abstruse sci-fi drama. Graeme Virtue

Funny Cow, (Adrian Shergold, 2017), 1.30am, Channel 4
Ostensibly a rags-to-riches story, this intense drama about a standup comedian reflecting on her early life is more of a psychological dissection of its lead character than a paean to female empowerment. The great Maxine Peake gives no quarter as “Funny Cow”, raised amid poverty and violence but with the determination to find an escape through the northern working men’s club circuit. It’s a harsh world where the (invariably male) comics are rude and racist. Director Adrian Shergold and writer Tony Pitts (who also plays her boyfriend) pull no punches in showing her struggle.
