A clear-eyed take on Trump, Biden and the looming US election
The Choice 2020: Trump vs Biden
7.55pm, PBS America
As the US elections loom and both candidates become increasingly embroiled in partisan spin, this clear-eyed documentary charts their characters and careers through formative moments in their histories. We gain insights into Trump’s privileged childhood and competitive nature, as well as Biden’s early battles with stuttering, before moving on to their politicisation with Trump developing reactionary stances and Biden’s tragic loss of his wife and child in 1972.

The Grand Party Hotel
8pm, BBC One
The docuseries following life at Liverpool’s brashly decorated Shankly Hotel continues. Despite a look at all the nasties found by the hotel’s cleaners, it’s a more emotive instalment, with cameras following preparations for the wedding of Kaylea, who has terminal cancer, and Mark. Hannah J Davies
The Truth About Your Sandwich
8pm, Channel 4
With Britain’s office commutes still on hold, this could be the end of our love affair with the humble pre-packaged sandwich. Adding insult to injury, presenter Helen Skelton heads up this special, investigating the less than appetising hygiene conditions at one sarnie factory. AK
The Apprentice Best Bits
9pm, BBC One
Another highlights package, this time focusing on the capitalist gameshow’s slightly less toxic celebrity spin-off. Key moments include the debut of future judge Karren Brady, Jack Dee and Jonathan Ross’s failed toy empire, and Rylan Clark-Neal’s unpredictable yet entertaining cabaret show. Jack Seale
Comedy Legends

First Dates
10pm, Channel 4
Much like sixtysomething ravers Meryl and Andrew, First Dates has still got it. The producers pull off matchmaking miracles, meaning some of these couples really might find love. Tonight, the cacophony of Aryeh and Jack’s shirts is deafening, but their souls are in harmony. Ellen E Jones
Film choice
John Wick: Chapter 2 (Chad Stahelski, 2017), 11pm, Channel 5
Chad Stahelski’s lean and mean original, in which Keanu Reeves’s hitman avenged his pup with terminal efficiency, gets a brutally compelling sequel. The new villain is Riccardo Scamarcio’s gang boss Santino, who sets umpteen stooges on Reeves’s lethal assassin, Wicks; only Ian McShane offers some peace. Paul Howlett
