12.05am, Channel 4 The average deposit for a house in the UK is £53,000 . This, along with extortionate rents, has made home ownership a distant dream for many without the financial help of parents. The hardest hit are Black people, with only 32% across all ages groups owning their own place.

Irvine Welsh’s Crime
9pm, ITV1 This crime thriller thrives thanks to the glowering intensity of Dougray Scott’s lead performance. As we reach the penultimate episode, Scott’s Lennox is reckoning with the consequences of his actions as the killer’s targets get uncomfortably close to home. He is pondering their origins, too, as a violent incident on New Year’s Eve 1992 emerges as a root cause. Phil Harrison
Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story
9pm, BBC Three For the British model Chloe Ayling, being abducted and held captive for six days in Italy in 2017 was just the start of her ordeal. This second double bill of this true-life drama begins with her release, but the local authorities soon latch on to an inconsistency in her story that will dog her for months. Her bewilderment is palpable. Jack Seale
