Vicky Pattison explores the murky world of deepfake pornography, Roddy Collins and Paul Howard visit Berlin, Sterling K Bown stars in Paradise, and there's a documentary about the classic novel Wuthering Heights . . .
Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape, 10.00pm, Channel 4
In what promises to be a powerful (and eye-opening) documentary, Vicky Pattison immerses herself in the world of deepfake pornography in the most personal and exposing way.
Embarking on a brave and risky experiment, Vicky creates and releases a deepfake sex-tape using her own image to shed light on one of the darkest uses of AI technology.
It’s also one, to her disbelief, that remains largely legal.
Having already been subject to online misogynist abuse, Vicky, bubbling with emotion, hears from a wide range of victims of deepfakes, including one person who’s still a child.
She also speaks with lawmakers and perpetrators and asking what the future holds and what can be done to protect women and girls from image-based abuse.
Storyville: Your Fat Friend, 10.00pm, BBC Four
This programme follows the rise of Aubrey Gordon (below), from an anonymous blogger to a best-selling author, whose aim is to promote a paradigm shift in the way society views fatness.
She had been anonymous but revealed herself in 2020 with the release of her first book.
This documentary is the result of six years of director Jeanie Finlay following Aubrey on her journey.
Wuthering Heights: Love, Hate and Vengeance, 8.00pm, Sky Arts
If you’ve ever read Wuthering Heights, you’ll know it’s a quite incredible story and an unforgettable experience.
Narrating the doomed romance of Heathcliff and Catherine, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights also contains a powerful critique of British society, denouncing its oppressive and colonising system.
This documentary explores the little-known and disturbing aspects of a cult book that was first published back in 1847.
Great British Menu, 8.00pm, Channel 4
As the show returns for its 20th run, four chefs from the north-west of England cook canapes, starters and fish dishes, celebrating great Britons of the past for a banquet at historic Blenheim Palace.
Dishes include a scouse pie, in honour of Anne Williams and her campaign to obtain justice for those who died in the Hillsborough disaster.
There’s also a poetically inspired Wordsworth confit trout with sauce barigoule, marigold oil, nasturtiums and a butterfly tuile.
Paradise, Disney+
This new drama stars Sterling K Brown (who was brilliant in This is Us), so that's as good a reason as any for checking it out.
Reason number two: it was created and written by Dan Fogelman, who wrote This is Us.
Here Brown he plays Xavier Collins, the lead protection agent for the US president.
It's set in a serene community inhabited by some of the world's most prominent individuals. But this tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds.
The city of Berlin, packed with energy and edge, is the destination for former football player and then manager Roddy Collins alongside comedy writer Paul Howard, who is also his biographer.
To describe Roddy as a bit of a character would be an understatement. This will be fun.
On the high road, the privileged celebrity enjoys a personalised fragrance workshop, while on the low road, the other celebrity takes part in a bike tour of Berlin's best bits.
Both parties get to drive a classic Trabant car and visit the David Hasselhoff Museum.
The Fear Clinic: Face Your Phobia, 8.00pm, Channel 4
More patients with extreme phobias check in for treatment at a unique clinic in Amsterdam.

London-born Jenny suffers from a phobia of rats and has had nightmares about them ever since she was a young child and saw one in her home.
Jamaican-born Devereaux discovered he had a phobia of dachshund (aka sausage) dogs when he moved to the UK and feels like his fear is holding him back.
Inside the Factory, 8.00pm, BBC One
Paddy McGuinness (below) and Cherry Healey visit the Clays book factory in Suffolk, to learn how they produce three million books every week.

Meanwhile, historian Ruth Goodman discovers the story of Louis Braille.
Going Straight, 8.00pm, BBC Four
Here’s the first ever episode of the sequel to Ronnie Barker’s Porridge, also starring Barker (below) and Fulton Mackay as criminal Norman Stanley Fletcher and Principal prison officer Mr MacKay.

While travelling home he bumps into Mr Mackay, and as the two reconcile their differences over a drink or two they soon find themselves caught up in the nefarious activities of two crooks sharing their train.
Manhunt, 9.00pm, Channel 4
