War and Justice:
The Case of Marine A
9pm, Channel 4
“I don’t think I am a murderer. I don’t think I was a murderer. I’m not a murderer.” Al Blackman – the former British solider convicted for the murder of a Taliban insurgent in 2011 – is the subject of this forensically produced documentary. He tells his version of events, along with the soldiers on duty with him and those who were involved in his case. Using recently recovered combat footage, this controversial film pieces together what happened – looking at how Blackman’s conviction was eventually changed to manslaughter. Hollie Richardson

Murder in Provence
8pm, ITV
“Cycling up Montagne Sainte-Victoire, how is that humanly possible after the amount of champagne we drank last night?” Antoine’s (Roger Allam) hangover is quickly disregarded in the final instalment of this Provençal three-parter, as the team ponder whether a young woman’s body in nearby Éguilles is linked to an old woman’s corpse discovered in a vineyard.

Nerdy, gormless Idaho teenager Napoleon (Jon Heder) has little to recommend him, aside from stubbornness in the face of daily humiliations. But finding a friend in new boy at school Pedro (Efren Ramirez) and a possible girlfriend in Tina Majorino’s Deb gives him purpose. Director and co-writer Jared Hess apparently based the film on his own experiences growing up, which slightly boggles the mind as this brilliantly deadpan comedy seems to exist in an eccentric world all of its own.
