Adam Lambert: Out, Loud & Proud
9pm, ITV1
American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is on tour as the lead singer of queen for more than a decade. Here, he looks at the history of LGBTQ+ stars in music – from the boldly queer to the more secretive mainstream – and asks: is the evolution of pride slowing down? He has a great line-up of interviewees: Brian May and Roger Taylor remember Freddie Mercury, and he talks candidly with singers like Skunk Anansie’s Skin and Erasure’s Andy Bell, as well as Pose star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. Holly Richardson

Alaska Daily
21:00, Alibi
You may know this show’s writer and creator Tom McCarthy best from season five of The Wire, in which he played a morally suspect reporter. It’s a far cry from the noble journalistic ethics on display here, as Hilary Swank’s Eileen further investigates the murders of Indigenous women and Austin (Craig Frank) exposes political corruption.

Remembering the cops
10pm, BBC Four
Cast members Katie Kavanagh-Juppe and John Henshaw look back on a drama that won two Baftas and moved police shows into the 21st century, but has rarely been repeated or discussed since. However, this mini-documentary is followed by the explosive first three episodes that debuted in 1998. Jack Seal

10.45pm, ITV1

Movie selection
Adams Family (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1991), 7.05am, Sky Cinema Greats
Tim Burton turned it down, but director Barry Sonnenfeld still puts a Burton-esque gothic sheen on this darkly comic yarn. Raúl Julia and Anjelica Huston are perfectly cast as the sinister, crazy Gomez and Morticia Adams, but are constantly overshadowed by Christina Ricci’s insanely sadistic daughter Wednesday. Christopher Lloyd’s Gordon, the man portraying Gomez’s long-lost brother Fester, has a friendlier level of weirdness. Addams’ superb Family Values, with Joan Cusack exuberant as a “black widow,” follows right after. Simon Wardell
