    Aces of Tennis: The ATP No 1 Club

    10pm, Channel 5
    Just in time to get you in the mood for Wimbledon, this four-part series explores the careers of the only 29 male players who have made it to No 1 in the ATP rankings. It begins in the 1970s (arguably the liveliest era in tennis history) with the controversial but charismatic figure of Ilie Năstase, a Romanian with a sweet backhand and a bad boy reputation. Phil Harrison

    Dover 24/7: Britain’s Busiest Port

    8pm, Channel 4
    From a car spotted without an appropriate seat for a small child to detaining a man who escaped a France-bound lorry, it’s all systems go during an overnight shift at the Dover port. Later on in the upbeat docuseries, there’s excitement as the Galeón Andalucía, a stunning replica 17th-century ship, docks at the major English border crossing for the first time. Nicole Vassell

    The Brokenwood Mysteries

    That’s not Neapolitan sauce on Ray Neilson’s apron, when he opens up Romano Ray’s Porky Piccione restaurant one morning. Trudy is dazed and covered in claret – and fellow patron Betty Reynold is lying dead in the next booth. Mike, Kristin and co soon discover that quite a few people wanted the latter out of the picture. Ali Catterall

    24 Hours in A&E

    9pm, Channel 4
    More medical mishaps from Nottingham in this formulaic but reliably cheering series. This time, painter and decorator Philip finds himself in A&E after plummeting from a ladder on to some concrete. There’s also young Jonah who has sustained a pulled elbow while playing with his mum. Ouch. PH

    House of the Dragon

    9pm, Sky Atlantic
    In the aftermath of last week’s brutally explosive season opener, the fallout from the Dance of the Dragons continues. Setting the tone for a highly emotive third season, Queen Alicent Hightower is inconsolable while her son Aegon is going all Little Caesar, throwing things and screaming at everyone in earshot. Priya Elan

    Secrets of the Celebrity Sex Tapes

    11.05pm, Channel 4
    This series has its cake and eats it: analysing the phenomenon of celebrity sex tapes while guiltily relishing them. This time round it’s Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee: how did their tape become public, how did they try to stop it spreading, and what did the lionisation of Lee say about the gender politics of the 90s? PH

    Film choice

    A Foreign Affair (Billy Wilder, 1948), 12.55pm, Film4

    The great Hollywood director Billy Wilder famously stretched love-is-blind tolerance to absurdity with the “Nobody’s perfect!” closing line of the 1959 classic Some Like It Hot. But, there’s overlooking a few foibles in the name of true love, and then there’s an American GI taking up with a Nazi cabaret singer (Marlene Dietrich) in postwar Berlin. That’s how Captain Pringle (John Lund) carries on in this satirical screwball comedy from the early cold war period. And, all the while, an adorable Iowa congresswoman (Jean Arthur) looks on in heartbroken dismay. Ellen E Jones
