Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70
9pm, BBC One
A portrait of Prince Charles on his 70th birthday and 65th year as heir apparent. It is a curious position to be in, akin to waiting at the door for an Asos order for more than half a century, and here documentary film-maker John Bridcut captures 12 months of Charles’s state of permanent impermanence by following him at work and speaking to those who know him best, including Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and heir to the heir: Prince William. Gwilym Mumford
WWI: The Final Hours
9pm, BBC Two
A century after the end of the first world war, this documentary explores the diplomatic accord with which it concluded, as representatives of Britain, Germany and France thrashed out the armistice. This is a reminder of the vengefulness and mind games that resulted in a deal ending one war but setting the scene for the next. Phil Harrison
The First
9pm, Channel 4
After last week’s explosive start, The First picks up the pieces of the crew’s mission to Mars with a Senate hearing. Laz Ingram is struggling to get the politicians to sign off on another mission and has to convince former right-hand man Tom to rejoin and impress the politicos with his earnest interplanetary space chat. Lanre Bakare
Berlin Station
9pm, More4
The talky, German-set US spy saga is essentially about office politics, all the more so this week as a full audit – which is to say an investigation into a sensitive leak of information – begins. Richard Jenkins does solid work as the beleaguered manager angling for promotion while placating his mistress/secretary. Jack Seale
The Russell Howard Hour
10pm, Sky1
Who better to satirically scythe through the US midterms and Brexit than Russell Howard? Well, thousands of people, actually – but in their absence, expect another truckload of undercooked topical gags and the odd celebrity guest in this returning series, which is recorded close to broadcast. GM
Women on the Verge
10pm, W
While lacking the vulgar blunt force of her other show, Catastrophe, this Sharon Horgan-created series is more agreeably scabrous than most primetime comedy. In tonight’s penultimate episode: mild criticism at a team-building event sends Laura into a shame spiral, and Alison reacts badly to news of her partner’s low sperm count. GM
Film choice
The Charge of the Light Brigade 1.40pm, Film4
Tony Richardson’s swinging 60s account of the battle of Balaclava in the Crimean war overruns the unquestioned valour of the cavalry charge with political satire: this is very much about horsemen led by donkeys. David Hemmings, fresh from the success of Blow-Up, is a rebellious Captain Nolan. Paul Howlett
