Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar
9pm, BBC Two
When Elizabeth Taylor was 12, she put herself on a protein-rich diet in an attempt to gain enough inches to be cast in National Velvet. This story speaks of a single-mindedness that is evident throughout this three-part series, executive produced by Kim Kardashian. From taking on the sleazy Louis B Mayer to bridling at being screen-kissed by adult men at 16, this is a portrait of a woman who always fought her corner and knew her own value. Phil Harrison
Our Lives: The Omagh Hum
7.30pm, BBC One
An odd little tale from Northern Ireland: in Omagh, a humming noise has been disturbing locals for months. Journalist Emmet McElhatton joins repairman Jamie Ryan to try to get to the bottom of the mystery, but conspiracies and rumours have begun to cloud the facts within the community. PH
Funny Woman
9pm, Sky Max
This wish-fulfilling fantasy of a show excels in the series finale, with several triumphant payoffs – but there’s plenty of grit here, too. Barbara (Gemma Arterton) faces a reputational threat, and industrial action looms at the department store. The faultless cast bring it home. Jack Seale
The Chateau Murders
9pm, More4

This follow-up sees her back on home turf, investigating a killing at the gorgeous Hôtel Château Frontenac. As the case continues, Céline and newbie Daphné (Naïla Louidort) have two new suspects.

First Dates
10pm, Channel 4
Dating apps are over, both bus driver Tommy and his dinner date Luke agree. But that doesn’t make finding love the old-fashioned way – with Fred in the First Dates restaurant – any easier. This week they’re joined by fortysomething single parents Stephen and Rachel, and twentysomething over-sharers Charlie and Benj. Ellen E Jones
The Graham Norton Show

One Life (James Hawes, 2023), 10am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
On the eve of the second world war, young stockbroker Nicholas Winton (Johnny Flynn) goes to Prague to get involved in the rescue of 669 mostly Jewish children from the Nazis, who are about to invade Czechoslovakia. But he also has to battle British state resistance to get them all to the UK. This unlikely real-life hero gets his dues in James Hawes’s skilful tearjerker, with the older Nicholas (Anthony Hopkins) regretting his failures in the Kindertransport, rather than celebrating the lives he helped save. That is, until Esther Rantzen hears about him. Simon Wardell
Lola (Andrew Legge, 2022), 11.15pm, Film4
Andrew Legge’s found-footage film is a gripping counterfactual drama and a brilliant editing and visual effects job, seamlessly splicing modern actors into footage from the 1930s and 40s. A cache of home-movie reels found in a Sussex country house tells a story from 1941, about bright young things Martha (Stefanie Martini) and her sister Thomasina (Emma Appleton), who has invented a machine that shows broadcasts from the future. Their predictions about German attacks change the course of the war, but the unintended consequences are far-reaching. SW
