When Sarah Adams (Aimee-Ffion Edwards, giving a bleak story real heart) takes a taxi after a mildly drunken night out, her driver seems pleasant. But John Worboys (Daniel Mays) had a regular modus operandi – a compliment, a few slightly intrusive questions, an offer of a (spiked) drink and, finally, rape. Jeff Pope’s drama mercifully largely blurs out the assault but the aftermath is barely less grim: a sensitively dramatised, step-by-step illustration of why only three out of every 100 rape and sexual assault reports proceed to charges. It’s a tale of suspicious male cops, undermining partners and an unwieldy legal system – which, in the case of Worboys, enabled more attacks. Phil Harrison

More charitable action from the tent. Can Adam Buxton’s edamame crumpets compete with Self Esteem’s beans on toast crumpets? It’s worth the price of admission to watch Buxton’s Paul McCartney parody song (“If you don’t like crumpets / You can lump it”). Priya Elan

The Iron Claw, 10pm, BBC Two
If this weren’t a true story, you’d be forgiven for scoffing at the implausibilities that pile up in Sean Durkin’s poignant biopic. Telling the tale of the Von Erich family of wrestlers in Texas, it is a parade of triumph and tragedy in a sometimes pitiless sport. The focus is on eldest son Kevin – a stunningly muscle-bound Zac Efron – who strives for success but finds his dad Fritz (Holt McCallany) grooming his brothers David (Harris Dickinson) and Kerry (Jeremy Allen White) for world title shots instead.
