Classic Movies: The Story of Great Expectations
8pm, Sky Arts
There has never been a more perfect marriage of director and material than David Lean’s 1946 adaptation of Great Expectations, says host Ian Nathan in this week’s deep dive into great films. He speaks with fellow experts and critics about the “visual novelist” and his work’s legacy. HR
The Neighbourhood
9pm, ITV1
Graham Norton is back to host more of this part reality show, part communal living experiment. This week, he throws a lovely cocktail party purely to help the contestants relax, with no ulterior motive … except for it being secretly observed by a new family who are about to join the contest.

Taskmaster
9pm, Channel 4
From a candid conversation about guinea pigs between Joanna Page and Alex Horne, to Joel Dommett having far too much fun with pots and pans – and Armando Iannucci causing complete outrage with an ostrich – it can only be the halfway point of Greg Davies’s bananas gameshow. HR
Prisoner
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The pace and implausibility of this thriller remain at optimum levels in episode two. Prison transport officer Amber (Izuka Hoyle) and stone-cold killer Tibor (Tahar Rahim) must escape from the villains’ dramatically lit lair, where something funky is going down involving 3D printers. They’ll have to punch their way out, which is tricky since they’re handcuffed together at the wrist. Jack Seale
Bergerac
9pm, U&Drama
After spectacularly falling off the wagon, Jim’s trouble isn’t letting up: he’s on the outs with his daughter and CCTV footage suggests he’s more intertwined with the murder case than he’d like to be. Meanwhile, suspicion falls on bride-to-be Monica (Lesley Sharp), whose first husband’s suicide might have been staged. Priya Elan

How to Have Sex (Molly Manning Walker, 2023), 9pm, Film4
The fraught territory of sex and consent among young people gets a working-over in Molly Manning Walker’s bruising, disquieting debut feature. Mia McKenna-Bruce stars as the achingly vulnerable 16-year-old Tara who, along with her best mates Skye (Lara Peake) and Em (Enva Lewis), goes on holiday to Malia in Crete. It’s party central for the teenage trio in a cycle of drink, dance, eat chips, sleep and repeat. But teaming up with older hotel neighbours Paddy and Badger (Ladhood’s Samuel Bottomley and Shaun Thomas) – and Tara’s uncertainty about losing her virginity amid the “anything goes” atmosphere at the resort – lead to jealousy, peer pressure and worse.
