Tonight's TV: the dark secrets of Jersey come under scrutiny

This article is more than 3 years old

The story of how the island’s historical child sexual abuse claims split the community. Plus, the Repair Shop crew are back, fixing up a model ship. Here’s what to watch this evening

Dark Secrets of a Trillion Dollar Island – Garenne
10pm, BBC Four

The complex story of Jersey’s historical child sexual abuse claims is unpicked in this fascinating documentary. In 2007, a media frenzy was caused by the discovery of abuse on the island, drawing attention to its status as a possession of the crown and offshore tax haven. The scandal split the community into those who wanted to preserve Jersey’s reputation for investment purposes and those wishing to uncover the truth. This film follows the bloggers who kept at the story. Ammar Kalia

Allen v Farrow

9pm, Sky Documentaries

Opening episode of a four-part series from film-makers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, examining allegations of child sexual abuse levelled against Woody Allen by his former wife Mia Farrow.

Teen First Dates

There are many highlights, including Ryan who admits he’s “not very good with the ladies” and tells his date: “I was hoping you’d be a dentist.” Devon and Luke, meanwhile, seem like the perfect match.
