Ross Kemp’s friendship with Barbara Windsor adds a very personal dimension to his two-part look at dementia – the first in a new run of his series about social issues in the UK. Barbara was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014, and Ross finds out from her husband and carer Scott what impact the condition is having on them. He also stays with former actor Jerry Beckman, who was diagnosed with dementia in middle age and is being cared for by his wife Louisa, the family’s sole breadwinner...

You Are What You Wear, 8pm, BBC1
We’ve always loved a good makeover show! This new one, originally due to start in March, sees Rylan Clark-Neal introduce ordinary folk to professional stylists, who aim to transform their wardrobe and boost self-esteem. From Chris, who only wears black, to Karen, who lives in her work clothes, Rylan helps people who need a little nudge, with a few tips for us, too. Pacy, fun and friendly, this is exactly the telly we love.

Best box set to watch
The White Princess, one season, UKTV Play
Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer steps back in time for this epic historical drama based on Philippa Gregory’s 2013 novel of the same name. Comer stars as Elizabeth of York, whose 1486 marriage to Henry VII (played by Jacob Collins-Levy) unites the houses of Lancaster and York and effectively ends the War of the Roses. However, their union sets the scene for power struggles, love, betrayal and political clashes – particularly among the mothers.
Best film to watch on TV tonight
Amy, 10pm, C4
Asif Kapadia really came to the forefront of cinema with his excellent documentary work, kicking off with Senna. His next subject was Amy Winehouse, and here he paints a heart-wrenching portrait of the singer from north London, who blazed into popular culture before being knocked down by depression, addiction and outrageous paparazzi intrusion, resulting in her death at just 27. Kapadia is unafraid to highlight Amy’s complexities and inconsistencies, delivering a searing look into the dark heart of fame.
