DISPATCHES, C4, 10pm

ANY documentary about Trump is bound to be gripping. He makes for great TV, but I’d still gladly trade all these excellent programmes for a sensible, boring US president.

This episode focuses on his relationship with Russia, and Matt Frei visits Washington and Moscow to try to find the truth about his alleged collusion with America’s Cold War enemy.

Trump says such investigations are part of a “witch hunt” against him, but we all saw the gleeful scenes inside the Russian parliament when they learned Trump had won. If they wanted him in power so badly, is it beyond the imagination that they helped him? If so, did Trump know about it?

Frei presents the evidence that has been uncovered so far, and looks at everything from the notorious “kompromat” to allegations that Trump’s own family colluded with Russians in the run-up to the election.

THE APPRENTICE, BBC1, 9pm

TONIGHT the teams have to sell robots, and Lord Sugar warns he intends to be the Terminator.

They’re each given a little white robot that can dance “Gangnam Style” on the desk. They have to select a target market, brand it and pitch it to retailers. Whoever gets the most orders wins.

One team pitch their robots at pensioners, with the idea that they’ll be lonely around the house and might welcome a tiny, terrifying, dancing robot. The other team choose kids. With robot names like Stan and E-Bot, and grammatical errors aplenty, it’s clear the teams are not at ease with artificial intelligence – or even basic intelligence.

The women can’t stop arguing, usually because of Siobhan, and Karen warns “bad blood in this team is costing them”.

And no wonder some are struggling when they try to flog their robot with the brilliant claim: “You can pick it up, you can put it down.” I’m sure that’s true of all toys except those made of lava.
