Gaza: Doctors Under Attack

10pm, Channel 4

Last month, the BBC said it was no longer airing a documentary about Israeli military attacks on hospitals in Gaza because it risked creating “a perception of partiality” over the broadcaster’s coverage of the conflict. Channel 4 is now showing it instead. Ramita Navai investigates the allegations of the targeting of doctors and healthcare workers in Gaza’s 36 main hospitals – which the film says have all now been attacked by Israel. Hollie Richardson

Can’t Sell, Must Sell

8pm, Channel 4
“Oh God, they’ve got the Live, Laugh, Love wallpaper – that needs to go.” In a slightly more bearable new property series, expert siblings Stuart and Scarlette Douglas help couples who are struggling to sell their properties. First up, a seriously cluttered cottage in Wales and a terrace with too much pink personality in Liverpool. HR

Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace

9pm, ITV1
Long Lost Family often reveals the devastating impact of last-century attitudes to things like out-of-wedlock pregnancy, but this week tells the story of Sarah, the show’s youngest-ever foundling, who was left in a Surrey car park in 2001. Also featured is Chris, who was dropped off at a childminder’s 62 years ago and never collected. Ellen E Jones

Britain’s Most Expensive Houses

9pm, Channel 4
Llwynhelig House in the Vale of Glamorgan is a Grade II-listed manor with a log cabin and shepherd’s hut in case the house itself isn’t big enough – but can agents Sorcha and Jemma flog it for £2.2m? More than seven times that price will secure Sunningdale Manor in Jersey for one lucky buyer. Down in Flushing in Cornwall, meanwhile, big local noise Ian spots the chance to trouser more commission on a house he has sold twice before. Jack Seale

Mary Earps: Queen of Stops

10.45pm, BBC One
There might be a tear of pride in your eye while watching one of the best goalkeepers in the world tell her story – from “being in pieces on the kitchen floor” after not making the England squad to a meeting with Sarina Wiegman that would lead to her helping the Lionesses become the 2022 European champions. It hits even harder given that she retired from international football in May. Jill Scott, Alessia Russo and Ella Toone chip in, too. HR

Heads of State (Ilya Naishuller, 2025), Prime Video

Strongly in the running for the most gleefully preposterous film of the decade, Heads of State is a movie about the American president and the British prime minister. What’s preposterous is that they are respectively played by John Cena and Idris Elba. Even more preposterously, it’s an action buddy comedy by Ilya Naishuller, the director of Nobody. Did the world need a film where the leaders of the western world are stranded in the middle of nowhere and have to machine-gun their way out in a whirlwind of quips? Absolutely not. But the most preposterous thing of all is that it somehow works. Stuart Heritage
