Tonight's TV highlights

Horizon: Science Under Attack 9pm, BBC2 An invigorating polemic by Sir Paul Nurse , Nobel medicine laureate and recently anointed president of the Royal Society. This is Nurse's attempt to understand why, in a world built by science, so many beneficiaries of those advances promote denialist agendas about climate change, HIV, GM foods and vaccines. Nurse's amiable inquisitions of sceptics are models of enlightening disagreement, whether with qualified physicist (Fred Singer) or Happy Shopper Littlejohn (James Delingpole). Terrific stuff, from someone who should be on TV every night were he not doing something a bit more important. AM One Born Every Minute 9pm, Channel 4 A heavily dilated woman is wheeled in from the car park, clinging to a trolley and about to deliver. It's an incredible start, like letting off all the big fireworks first. Meanwhile, Julia has seven weeks to go and is expecting with a man she met a couple of weeks before conception. She suffers heart problems, so is being monitored closely. And Donna's a second-timer but finds labour terrifying due to her "control issues". A more graphic episode than usual, but no less beautiful for it. JNR Episodes 10pm, BBC2 Beverley and Sean sit down for the first table read of "Pucks" and it's not as horrific as they predicted. But Matt and Beverley continue their sexually fraught banter over a plot point. And Matt lets Sean drive his sports car before taking him on a jolly to Vegas. Greig and Mangan are wonderful but it stops short of ever being truly clever. There are so many good performances but, overall, Episodes does gently insult your intelligence with its desperation to include too broad an audience. JNR Laura Hall: My Battle With Booze 9pm, BBC3 Just 21, but arrested some 40 times for being drunk and disorderly, Bromsgrove's Laura Hall was the poster girl for young, alcoholic Britain: banned from every pub, club and off licence in her region, her pasty, blotchy face was splattered all over the tabloids. One judge described her as "despicable and rotten", to her indignation. We follow her over seven months, filmed while drunk on various occasions including at a bowling alley, before she enters a 12-week rehab programme. DS Glee 9pm, E4 It's hard to top last week's Britney spectacular in terms of the sheer showbiz razzledazzle of it all, so Glee opts for an emotional episode this time instead, as the appearance of Jesus in Finn's grilled cheese sandwich causes various New Directions to question their beliefs. Kurt's father has a heart attack, leading to much discussion of God and faith, although Sue objects to the new theological direction the glee club is taking (sadly, with good intentions). Bring a hankie, but you won't need it for the best moment, which is saved, as usual, for Brittany: "Is God an evil dwarf?" RN Storyville: Sex, Death & The Gods 10pm, BBC4 Gripping but depressing film, in which Beeban Kidron – director of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit and one Bridget Jones film, among much else – visits India to illuminate the illegal but still practised cult of the devadasi. Shrouded, like so much abuse of children, in holy gibberish, devadasi is essentially a legitimised system of trading girls as indentured concubines. It is difficult to overstate the wretchedness of the interviews with people whose poverty is so complete that selling their daughters into sexual slavery has become an option. AM
