Once Upon a Time in Iraq
9pm, BBC Two
The film-maker James Bluemel, whose powerful 2016 series Exodus told the story of the European refugee crisis, turns his attention to documenting the legacy of the Iraq war. Told through first-person testimony, this series interviews Iraqi civilians, soldiers and journalists, who recount their histories of the war. We open with the story of Waleed Neysif, who was only 18 when the war began in 2003 and who initially supported it in the hope the country would be westernised. Ammar Kalia

9pm, Sky History
This US series shadows the treasure hunter John Casey as he seeks out a fortune buried in the Philippines by a Japanese general.

Macbeth (Justin Kurzel, 2015), 11.10pm, Film4
Kurzel’s gory telling of the Scottish play stars Michael Fassbender as a commanding Macbeth, a warrior would-be king slipping into a delusional netherworld; Marion Cotillard fascinates as Lady Macbeth, grieving for their dead child. There is a wild beauty to this classic tragedy. Paul Howlett
