Inside Our Dyslexic Minds

9pm, BBC Two
“Like a slippery fish you’re trying to grab hold of. And you can’t.” This is how Suiki describes her dyslexia as Chris Packham’s two-part series concludes. He has a particular connection to this form of neurodivergence as his stepdaughter, Megan, has dyslexia. But what becomes clear is that the experience of dyslexia affects people in different ways. Packham is engaging and empathetic, helping Suiki explain her dyslexia to her brothers, and making builder Lee the star of his own musical. Phil Harrison

Penguins, Led Zeppelin and the plays of Tom Stoppard are among the specialist subjects in the final of the Clive Myrie-hosted quiz show as contestants battle to be the 2025 champion.

The Last of Us

In the penultimate episode, Tommy and Ellie have some reckoning with the past to do – if they can get a minute between fending off the Seattle-strain spores, that is.

Malcolm X, 11pm, BBC Two
As ever when that wrecking ball of creative energy, Spike Lee, goes historical, the present-day resonances are clear and central. His biopic of political activist Malcolm X (a charismatic Denzel Washington) starts with footage of the beating of Rodney King and ends with a cameo from Nelson Mandela, but there is plenty in the personal experience of the robber turned Black nationalist leader to excite interest and anger. A story of idealism nurtured then thwarted, whether you agree with Malcolm’s views or not it is a fitting tribute to a major figure in US history. Simon Wardell
