How to Get Filthy Rich With Gary Stevenson
9pm, Channel 4
“If we don’t do anything about this system, very quickly the billionaires will own everything.” Gary Stevenson was born working-class and wanted to become rich; he was a finance whiz and a millionaire by his mid-20s. As this documentary shows, he now breaks down economics for audiences and campaigns to close the wealth gap – proposing a 2% annual tax on wealth above £10m. “Absolute populist claptrap,” one super-rich interviewee tells him about his mission.

My Summer of Love (Paweł Pawlikowski, 2004), 11.55pm, BBC Two
Emily Blunt’s big-screen debut boded well for the magnificent career to follow. She plays Tamsin, an alluring posh girl who hooks up with tomboy Mona (Natalie Press) over one sultry season in West Yorkshire’s Calder valley. Paddy Considine is Phil, Mona’s ex-convict brother, whose recent religious conversion seems to conceal a simmering propensity for violence. All in all it’s the modern-day lesbian Wuthering Heights of our dreams, with Bafta-winning direction from Paweł Pawlikowski, who just picked up his second best director award at this year’s Cannes. Ellen E Jones
