Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True, Channel 4, 9pm

There's nothing like an authored documentary to really get a debate started, so it's to be hoped that this opinionated and hard-hitting programme will prompt some answers to the questions it poses. The "author" in question is broadcaster, writer and sometime politician Trevor Phillips, also a former head of the Commission for Racial Equality. Here, Phillips unflichingly tackles a range of racial stereotypes, talks to UKIP leader Nigel Farage about whether it was Britain's attempt to embrace multi-culturalism which gave rise to his party in the first place, and asks Tony Blair what happened to New Labour's attempts to bring more diversity and equality to British life.

Shame, Film 4, 11.10pm/In The Mood For Love, Film 4, 1.15am

A double bill of sorts turning on sex, adultery and passion, first in present day New York, where Michael Fassbender plays a sex-addicted executive in Steve McQueen's cold and uncompromising 2011 film, and second in 1960s Hong Kong where things are altogether more sumptuous in Wong Kar-Wai's emotional drama from 2000. It follows the platonic-but-only-just relationship which develops between a man and a woman whose respective spouses are having an affair. It was shot by the great cinematographer (and regular Wong Kar-Wai collaborator) Chris Doyle and stars Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, who would meet again two years later in Zhang Yimou's masterful 2002 swordplay epic, Hero.
