The Last Movie Stars
9pm, Sky Documentaries
The relationship of Hollywood golden couple Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward is brought to life in this curious six-part documentary series. Directed and hosted by Ethan Hawke, it uses hundreds of hours of transcripts from interviews commissioned by Newman for a biography that never materialised. Modern-day actors play the roles of old movie stars – with George Clooney as Newman and Laura Linney as Woodward – to tell the story of their glamorous lives. Hollie Richardson

State of Happiness
9pm, BBC Four
The late-70s North Sea oil rush is under way as this intriguing Norwegian drama returns for a second series. With opportunity, however, comes a great deal of risk: tonight’s opener begins with an ominous conversation about circumventing safety regulations. Expect politics, profiteering and tragedy to intersect explosively. Phil Harrison

The Secrets She Keeps
9.20pm, BBC One
“Better hope she doesn’t agree to a blood test.” Another deliciously dark wave of subterfuge is afoot, as Agatha (Laura Carmichael) triggers an internal prison investigation to uncover the father of her unborn child. But as Rhea (Jenni Baird) resurfaces with blackmail on her mind, Meghan (Jessica De Gouw) is preoccupied serving up stark ultimatums. Danielle de Wolfe

Witness for the Prosecution, 2.35pm, BBC Two
Billy Wilder meets Agatha Christie in court and the verdict is unanimously positive. The 1957 thriller, adapted from Christie’s play, is carried along partly by its twisty plot and partly by Charles Laughton’s twinkly-eyed turn as defence barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts. His interest is piqued by a watertight murder case against poor inventor Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) – and he won’t let a recent heart attack stop him taking the brief. Marlene Dietrich challenges him for star wattage as Vole’s wife Christine, who is strangely indifferent to her husband’s fate … Simon Wardell
Foxtrot, 12.30am, BBC Two
War affects two Israeli parents and their soldier son in different ways in a narratively bold drama. Michael (Lior Ashkenazi) and Daphna (Sarah Adler) are devastated after being told their son Jonathan (Yonathan Shiray) has been killed in the line of duty. We then see Jonathan at his desert checkpoint, where the mood is, initially, a bit Catch-22 – a squaddie foxtrots; the barracks slowly sinks into the sand; a camel saunters past. Samuel Maoz’s film encompasses both black comedy and searing grief, while his camera hovers like a military drone, monitoring events. SW
