Louis Theroux: The Settlers

9pm, BBC Two

Louis returns to form as he revisits the West Bank, where he first spent time in 2011 for his Ultra Zionists documentary. He now goes in the wake of the 7 October attacks, as a growing number of Israeli religious nationalists settle in the occupied Palestinian territory – with support from the highest levels of government. It’s a tense watch as the documentarian speaks with people from all sides, including Issa Amro, a Palestinian activist, who is not free to roam his own city of Hebron, and the aggressively outspoken “godmother” of the movement, Daniella Weiss, who in their parting conversation makes a bewildering point by physically pushing Theroux.

Det Supt Roy Grace (John Simm) has the Merchant in his sights – a high-level Brighton drug dealer with possible links to a puzzling double murder case.

This City Is Ours

High & Low: John Galliano, out now, Netflix

Starting with footage of the British fashion designer’s career-ending antisemitic outburst in a Paris bar in 2010, Kevin Macdonald’s fascinating documentary never shies away from the contradictions at the heart of its colourful subject. Proclaimed a “genius” by journalists and his industry peers, John Galliano rose rapidly from Saint Martins student to ruling the haute couture roost at Dior. But “fashion’s wild boy” was also an alcoholic and prescription drug abuser with an intense workload, leading to egotism, excess and a criminal conviction. Simon Wardell
