The first of a three-part series about the former prime minister’s path to power. Plus, the Fukushima catastrophe 15 years on. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, Channel 4“Never lose your temper. Except on purpose.” Tony Blair’s advice on negotiation to his chief of staff Jonathan Powell is a neat insight into the man in general. This three-part deep dive shows Blair as a calculating communicator, but an insubstantial political thinker whose greatest achievements were founded upon being all things to all people. What fuelled his insistent will to power? From his constituency of Sedgefield to the horror of Iraq, this singular political journey is tracked but never quite explained. Phil Harrison
