Who Do You Think You Are?

9pm, BBC One
This popular long-running genealogy series has a way of making you count your blessings: one thing that’s usually evident is how few generations most of us are from grinding poverty. That’s true of this week’s adventurer into the past, former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm, whose Liverpudlian family’s journey involves a workhouse, incredibly bleak manual work and a hasty flight from the great Irish famine of the 19th century. She is also fascinated to learn that her fourth great-grandfather was a campaigner for improving working men’s lives and rights. Phil Harrison

Interview With the Vampire

11.05pm, BBC Two

As the interview takes an intriguing turn (involving the arrival of a handsome young man, just in time for vampire Armand’s lunch break), Daniel has a realisation about his 1973 encounter with Louis, in which Armand was circumstantially involved. Perhaps a recording will offer some clues? A clever and sensuous treat. PH

This Ain’t Pretty Woman

12.05am, Channel 4
Cinema has, historically, been perhaps too interested in portraying sex work, and not interested enough in doing so accurately. This lively 10-minute film meets a group of real sex workers who rate famous films and, as the debate heats up, start to imitate their fictional counterparts. Jack Seale
