The former MP tells her surprising story in a candid documentary. Plus, Nick Grimshaw’s chaotic show about dogs. Here’s what to watch this evening

7pm, BBC Two“This place is a farce. Absolute farce.” Last year, the SNP’s Mhairi Black – the youngest elected MP since 1832 – stood down as an MP, and swapped parliament for standup comedy (she was describing the former there). In this candid film, she talks about rising to prominence after the Scottish referendum, the anxiety she constantly felt as a young, gay, neurodivergent woman in politics, and her first show at the Edinburgh festival fringe.
