PICK OF THE DAY

ASHLEY BANJO: BRITAIN IN BLACK AND WHITE 9PM, ITV

★★★★

The dancer and choreographer became an accidental activist after his Black Lives Matterinspired routine on Britain’s Got Talent attracted a record number of complaints – and a torrent of ugly online abuse. Now, Ashley (right) wants to use his platform to engage people in a debate about race, talking to people on all sides, from protesters to police. But his most startling interview comes when he sits down for a chat with the comedian Jim Davidson and challenges him on his views on race and racism. It doesn’t end well…

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? 9PM, BBC1

★★★★★ It’s an absolute joy to see the great Judi Dench going in search of her family tree in one of the best episodes in the genealogy show’s 17-year history. She begins her journey by trying to find out how her father won his gallantry medals during the First World War, before her investigations take her to 16th-century Denmark.

IMPEACHMENT: AMERICAN CRIME STORY 9.15PM, BBC2

★★★★

1,000 YEARS A SLAVE 10PM, CH5

★★★★

It’s impossible not to be appalled by the details of the slave trade that are revealed in this new series. In part one, the actors David Harewood and Hugh Quarshie explore how it worked from both sides of the Atlantic, and the way Africans were treated like animals in the way they were transported and housed.
