Prisoner
9pm, BBC Four
Seeing Sofie Gråbøl as a deeply compromised (albeit nuanced) villain in this gripping prison drama may come as a shock to fans of The Killing. But as Miriam is forced to act as a drug mule, Gråbøl inhabits her fear and trauma convincingly. Elsewhere, Benji puts the prison’s fragile equilibrium at risk by feeding Sammi insider information.

Poor Things, Disney+
A risk-taking performance from Emma Stone is at the heart of the latest, deeply weird yarn from Yorgos “The Favourite” Lanthimos. She plays Bella, a young woman who died but was revived with the brain of her unborn baby by the Frankenstein-esque Godwin (Willem Dafoe). As she learns to walk and talk, she yearns to discover more about life. Lothario Duncan Wedderburn (a hilariously louche Mark Ruffalo) has designs on being her svengali – but Bella has a mind of her own and a unique way of seeing the world. Adapted from Alasdair Gray’s novel and set in a stunning, not-quite-realistic Victorian era, it’s a delightful, disconcerting comedy. Simon Wardell
