Disturbing Disappearances
9pm, More4
A lively French crime thriller from the Walter Presents strand’s seemingly endless stream of foreign-language dramas. Small-time drug dealer Tony is horrified when one of his regular customers dies of an overdose. But when he decides to cover his tracks, he creates an even bigger problem for himself – soon, small narcotics deals are the least of his worries. Phil Harrison
Not Going Out
9pm, BBC One
Guest star Chris McCausland gives as good as he gets in this combative episode of the zinger-stuffed sitcom. To celebrate Lucy’s birthday, Lee and the gang ride first class on a steam train; the arrival of a blind stranger disrupts their habitual sniping, particularly when he accidentally bags Lee’s seat. Graeme Virtue
Riches
9pm, ITV1
Abby Ajayi’s glossy drama has a Succession-meets-Shonda Rhimes feel that only intensifies in this episode, as warring family factions attempt to convert shareholders to their way of thinking before a big Flair & Glory board meeting. What Riches lacks in Jesse Armstrong-style snark, it makes up for in enjoyably soapy twists. Katie Rosseinsky
Beethoven’s Fifth at the Proms
8pm, BBC Four
Beethoven’s Fifth comes courtesy of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, under the baton of conductor laureate Tadaaki Otaka. Plus, it is a Proms debut for Rachmaninov’s Five Études-tableaux, adorned with orchestration by Ottorino Respighi. Katya Adler presents. Ali Catterall
Then You Run
9pm, Sky Max
This adrenalised, slightly berserk crime caper continues to lean into its own ridiculousness and barrel along at great pace. The girls have given up on the Netherlands and fled to Germany by now, with Tara wondering if her mates might be safer without her. Meanwhile, twin blows for Reagan leave him even less composed than usual. PH
Queen of Oz
9.30pm, BBC One
Catherine Tate’s latest grotesque reaches the end of its run and the fun lies in the sheer lack of sympathy we are encouraged to have. It is Queen Georgie’s wedding day and the gravity of the moment finds Tate’s appalling monarch in an uncharacteristically gracious mood. But things soon fall apart. PH
Film choice
Babylon (Damien Chazelle, 2022), 9pm, Sky Cinema PremiereDamien “La La Land” Chazelle’s ambitious new drama revisits the 2016 film’s interest in fame, love and broken dreams in Los Angeles, but aims for a broader historical sweep. The story of Hollywood in the 1920s and 30s is embodied in three characters: Mexican immigrant Manny (Diego Calva); the woman he loves, would-be star Nellie (Margot Robbie); and Brad Pitt’s ageing lead actor Jack. Bravura set-pieces – from an orgiastic party at a studio boss’s mansion, complete with guest elephant, to a slapstick, all-action location shoot – give a sense of the fickle, intoxicating energy of the movie industry, while Pitt and the underused Robbie provide affecting portraits of the casualties that result.

They Cloned Tyrone (Juel Taylor, 2023), Netflix
Dipping into conspiracy theories about the secret state pushing drugs in Black communities, Juel Taylor’s stimulating movie adds a post-Get Out political edge to its Blaxploitation-style sci-fi caper. John Boyega’s drug dealer, Fontaine, joins forces with flashy pimp Slick Charles (Jamie Foxx) and Nancy Drew-reading sex worker Yo-Yo (Teyonah Parris) – a great comic double act – to investigate when he is shot multiple times but wakes up unharmed the day after. And what are they putting in the fried chicken and hair products that is making the neighbourhood folk so docile? SW
