Nick Cave: This Much I Know to Be True
10pm, Sky Arts
“In time we find out we are not in control. We never were. We never will be.” This intoxicating and existential film follows Nick Cave and collaborator Warren Ellis as they record tracks from their Ghosteen and Carnage albums in London and Brighton. Cave also talks about writing open replies to letters from fans via his website The Red Hand Files and takes us inside his studio where he creates sculptures depicting the life of the devil.

WW2: Women on the Frontline

It wasn’t just Rosie the Riveter. In the final episode of this three-part history series we hear about women in battle, such as rule-breaking reporter Martha Gellhorn, who stowed away on D-day, and sniper Lyudmila “Lady Death” Pavlichenko, who is said to have killed 309 Nazis in less than a year’s service.

9pm, ITV1
The reviews for this police academy sitcom from the minds behind Green Wing have mostly been scathing. But the penultimate episode – with the trainees grappling with interrogation techniques – has verbal absurdity and daft slapstick to spare, while also setting up some actual emotional stakes for the finale.

Jackpot!, Prime Video, out now
Bridesmaids director Paul Feig has said that Jackie Chan’s work was a touchstone for his latest film. And this breezy action comedy offers up a big dose of Chan-style slapstick stuntwork, brought to life by the smart pairing of Awkwafina and John Cena. In a near-future Los Angeles, the populace are legally allowed to kill the winner of the state’s billion-dollar lottery and claim the prize themselves – but they only have one day to do it. Awkwafina’s new-actor-in-town Katie is the latest target and soon requires the services of Cena’s nice-guy bodyguard Noel. The two make a witty double act – think a kinder, gentler DeVito and Schwarzenegger – and the plot speeds along with minimal schmaltz. Simon Wardell
Prizzi’s Honor, 9pm, Comedy Central
John Huston was at the heart of Hollywood’s classic studio era and this 1985 New York mafia comedy – his penultimate film – is an endearing throwback to those times. Jack Nicholson’s stolid hitman Charley and his desirable, devious love-at-first-sight Irene (Kathleen Turner) could easily have been played by Bogart and Bacall back in the day. Their affair – and Irene’s theft from the Prizzi family – causes friction and resentment, not least from Charley’s former flame, Maerose (a superbly sly Anjelica Huston). Beware the daughter of a mob boss scorned … SW
Predator, 11.05pm, Film4
In the middle of an increasingly popular run of pumped-up, quip-ready action hero movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger made what may be his purest attempt at the form. John McTiernan’s 1987 sci-fi adventure sees Arnie play Vietnam veteran Dutch, whose band of paramilitaries (including Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura) are stalked by a near-invisible extraterrestrial trophy hunter while on a rescue mission in a Central American rainforest. The interplay of tension and action is well done, while Arnie and his muscles are put through their paces. SW
