Make That Movie
10pm, Channel 4
Created and written by Last One Laughing’s breakout star Sam Campbell, and directed by Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared’s Joe Pelling, this new comedy about a director who turns ordinary people’s movie ideas into reality is inevitably absurdist fun. First up is Mick, who pitches a man and a woman who can turn into snakes. Cue real snake auditions, a creepy intimacy coordinator called Sebastian and a great pan pipe theme tune. Hollie Richardson

Putin: In Ten Pictures

The return of the documentary that explores the lives of notable people begins with a look at Vladimir Putin. Observers and exiled former insiders psychoanalyse Russia’s tyrannical president with the use of 10 key photographs: Putin is described as an overlooked weakling who vowed to change how the world saw him. Everything else has been one long PR stunt. Jack Seale

One to One: John & Yoko (Kevin Macdonald and Sam Rice-Edwards, 2024), 9pm, Sky Documentaries
This sign-of-the-times documentary covers 18 months in the lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono after they moved to New York in 1971, and is a riveting snapshot of a febrile period in US history (Vietnam, Nixon etc). Pivoting around a benefit gig the ex-Beatle organised for institutionalised mentally ill children, it mixes home movies, contemporary TV footage and remarkable private phone calls to follow the couple as they dip their toes in political causes, fashion and a new life away from Britain.
