TV tonight: blind fanaticism, conspiracy theories and a fatal attack on the Capitol

Four Hours at the Capitol

9pm, BBC Two

“I believe that Donald Trump was anointed by God,” says one of the insurrectionists who besieged the Capitol building on 6 January 2021. This level of blind fanaticism helps to explain the extraordinary events meticulously detailed in Dan Reed’s documentary. It’s excellently sourced and skilfully assembled. However, it feels light on analysis, which has the effect of creating equivalency between various absurd conspiracy theories and other, more measured takes on the day’s events. Phil Harrison

Bump

10:35pm, BBC One

This drily funny Australian dramedy introduces a family in minor crisis, with Dad irresponsibly absent, Mum always frustrated, and their nerdy daughter Oly who goes into labour without even knowing she was pregnant.
