Harry: The Interview

9pm, ITV 1

He’s his mother’s son, alright. Following the Netflix documentary and just before the memoir’s release, the Duke of Sussex is giving this in-depth interview. It’s a strategy that’s previously gone awry for royals (see The Crown), but Harry will be speaking with close friend Tom Bradby. Nothing hard-hitting, then, but intimate insights aplenty.

Spector
9pm, Sky Documentaries

In 2009, reclusive music producer Phil Spector was convicted for the 2003 murder of actor Lana Clarkson. This major four-part documentary opens with the recording of Spector’s driver telling emergency services that he found his boss standing over Clarkson’s body with a gun in his hand. It goes on to speak with the likes of Spector’s daughter Nicole, Nick Brown – who was the last journalist to interview him – and Dolores “LaLa” Brooks from the Crystals, to tell the story of what led to that night.

Who’s been taking Ryan (Rhys Connah) to see his very bad dad in prison? Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) is about to find out – and hell hath no fury like this brilliant woman scorned. Meanwhile, dodgy prescription drugs continue to wreak havoc among Calderdale residents from all sides of the track. HR

The Kardashians: Billion Dollar Dynasty
9pm, Channel 4

Love them or loathe them, the Kardashians’ trajectory to world domination is astonishing. As journalist Kelley L Carter – one of the many talking heads in this fascinating Kardashian deep dive – puts it: “To have a reality star whose career was launched by a scandalous sex tape sit down and discuss policy and prison reform with the sitting president – that only happens in America”.

His Dark Materials
7pm, BBC One

The emotionally literate and frequently head-spinning adaptation of Philip Pullman’s fantasy trilogy continues. As the endgame approaches, there’s a sense of the main players converging. Lyra and Will have reached the outer limits of the Suburbs of the Dead. Meanwhile, Mrs Coulter turns up at the Magisterium with a plan to save her daughter. Phil Harrison

Romantic Getaway
9pm, Sky Comedy

This comedy-drama starring Katherine Ryan and Romesh Ranganathan as a couple dragged into illegal realms as they attempt to fund their IVF treatment is a slightly uneasy mixture of existential sadness and light-hearted crime caper. Tonight, Allison and Deacon find themselves dragged deeper into the criminal underworld as a text makes them vulnerable to blackmail. PH

Film choice

Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994), 10pm, Channel 4

Royale with cheese. Ezekiel 25:17. That syringe. If Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 crime caper sometimes feels like a string of bravura set pieces rather than a coherent narrative, it’s still a triumph of stylish film-making. From John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson’s hitman double act and Bruce Willis’s loved-up boxer to Uma Thurman’s mob girlfriend and Harvey Keitel’s underworld fixer, Tarantino and co-writer Roger Avary have created a host of memorable characters, spouting comically profane dialogue and backed by a soundtrack of neglected gems.
