Tonight’s TV schedule: A deep dive into a complicated criminal case with Louis Theroux and his team.

Express your affection for me to them.

9pm, Sky Documentaries

This fascinating, nuanced film – made by Louis Theroux’s production company – is simultaneously personal and universal. Ostensibly, it tells the story of disabled man Derrick Johnson and his relationship with academic Anna Stubblefield. But it also touches on wider issues surrounding race, emotional manipulation and consent. When the previously non-verbal Johnson was able to speak via a keyboard and a method known as facilitated communication, his family were thrilled. But soon, the pair’s bond entered murkier realms amid accusations of exploitation and sexual abuse – and a deeply complex criminal trial followed. Phil Harrison

Señorita 89

9pm, BBC Four

One of the dramatic moments in this lively double feature of a Mexican drama about beauty pageants is a wedding where a man messes up the bride’s lipstick in the bathroom during the reception. Even after Isobel (Natasha Dupeyrón) endures her unhappy wedding day, the aftermath of her arranged marriage continues to have a strong impact. Jack Seale

Who will come out on top? It will take a few classic challenges (The Wall! Hang Tough!) to find out which contenders will bite the dust. Kayleigh Dray

Unsuccessful Songs on BBC

There were several songs that did not become hits in the BBC’s music collection.

When Johnny Cash’s song “Ring of Fire” was first released, it did not make it onto the charts in the UK. Similarly, Dolly Parton’s song about working in an office, “9-5,” did not even make it into the Top 40. As Dolly herself says, it can be maddening if you allow it. Here are some other major errors that have been collected.
