Do You Know This Man?
10pm, Channel 4
Drug dealer Martin Butler turned his house into a party venue and the kids of Ruislip gravitated towards it. As a result, several of them were raped. This bleak but stirring documentary tells, in unvarnished style, the story of Laura Hughes, Lauren Preston and Mary Sharp who, decades after the offences, joined forces to bring Butler to justice. Their testimony is extraordinary: the trauma is still evident but it’s matched by their guts and resilience. Phil Harrison
