The Way Out<\/p>\n
9pm, U&Dave<\/strong> Ian Fleming and the Curse of Bond \u2013 The Spy Who Killed Me<\/p>\n 9pm, Sky Arts<\/strong> This Is a Bomb: The Nevada Casino Heist<\/p>\n 9.45pm, BBC Two<\/strong> Berlusconi: Condemned to Win<\/p>\n 10pm, BBC Four<\/strong><\/p>\n The second part of Sam Blair\u2019s astonishing documentary takes a look at Berlusconi\u2019s reign over AC Milan. A confluence of 80s ambition, football\u2019s cultural dominance and a new era of playing style places him at the centre of its boom time. Or as one talking head puts it: \u201cHe was like the pope or something.\u201d Priya Elan<\/p>\n Wrestling With Trump<\/p>\n 10pm, Channel 4<\/strong><\/p>\n In the ring \u2026 Munya Chawawa inWrestling with Trump on Channel 4.

<\/strong>Mel Giedroyc hosts this cheerful gameshow in which teams of comics are placed in themed rooms that, via physical and deductive tasks, they must race to escape. The contestants (who include Ed Gamble, Lou Sanders, Nish Kumar and Chloe Petts) get their sea legs with a fishing challenge, complete with pungent seaside smells and oysters to shuck. Their general ineptitude constitutes most of the fun. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Ian Fleming may be among the most impactful authors of all time but, as this documentary shows, that didn\u2019t make him happy. \u201cHe hated Bond in the end,\u201d recalls his assistant, Clare Blanchard. The film flits between Europe and Jamaica with Ralph Fiennes and Marlon James among those pondering a contested legacy. PH<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Lush cinematic reconstructions give this account of a 1980 extortion plot a pulpy energy that complements the twists in its tale. Episode two picks up 14 hours after a \u201cbuilding-killer\u201d bomb has been smuggled into a Lake Tahoe casino. Will the FBI go along with a $3m ransom drop-off plan? Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Comedian Munya Chawawa travels to the US for what sounds like a lighthearted stunt of a documentary, but has a lot more to it. His brief is to investigate the links between Donald Trump and wrestling. Chawawa finds that Trump\u2019s demagoguery owes a lot to wrestling\u2019s theatricality, and that for fans of both there\u2019s a mass suspension of disbelief. Jack Seale<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Richard Gadd\u2019s claustrophobic character study jumps to 1993. Ruben\u2019s work with kids at a community centre is giving him stability and Niall is trying get into Oxford. But Niall\u2019s mother asks him to tell a lie about Ruben in court, the consequences of which could be massive.
