Save My Child
8pm, Channel 4
A paean to the NHS – when it isn’t overstretched – and to the power of crowdfunding, this documentary follows two families as they fundraise in their communities for life-changing surgery for their children. Six-year-old Pranav needs £100,000 to pay for an operation that could enable him to walk despite his cerebral palsy, while in Northern Ireland, 15-year-old Mia is trying to raise £32,000 for surgery to correct the curvature of her spine. Heart-warming and heart-rending in equal measure. Ammar Kalia

The Trouble With Naipaul
10pm, BBC Four

8 Days
10pm, Sky Atlantic

Film choice
Locke, 1.30am, Film4
Not your average road movie: Steven “Peaky Blinders” Knight’s gripping 2013 drama is set entirely inside a BMW on the motorway. The camera is fixed on construction manager Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy), whose air of calm control is slowly eroded by a series of phone calls from his wife, Katrina (Ruth Wilson), and panicked work colleagues.
