Frank Skinner on Muhammad Ali
9pm, BBC1
From his modest Louisville childhood to becoming a civil rights champion and the world’s greatest boxer, Muhammad Ali lived without compromise. Frank Skinner presents a heartfelt tribute to Ali, visiting the people and locations that defined the fighter’s life and tracking his rise, fall, rebirth and ultimate descent. Skinner’s trademark wit makes way for intelligence, enthusiasm and obvious admiration for The Greatest. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Paula
9pm, BBC2
Despite her intention to do the right thing, Paula is still blighted by just about everyone around her as the tense thriller continues. As the investigation into Philip’s death focuses on James (Tom Hughes) and his past, might he snap under pressure? Not a moment is wasted in this enjoyably dark and tight drama and this week’s action is gripping. Denise Gough’s portrayal of Paula, whose life changed after one impulsive decision, remains solid and intriguing. Hannah Verdier
Catching a Killer
9pm, Channel 4
Anna Hall specialises in documentaries about the work of the police, from investigating sex gangs to domestic violence. This film follows their investigation into the disappearance of Natalie Hemming, a 31-year-old mother of three from Milton Keynes. With unprecedented access to police bodycam footage and to DCI Simon Steel, DI Stuart Blaik and their team, the film looks on as proof of life vanishes and the hunt for a missing person turns into a murder investigation. John Robinson
The Great Village Green Crusade
9pm, BBC4
In a cheering feature-length film described as “The Archers meets An Inconvenient Truth”, Robert “Kryten” Llewellyn embarks on a two-year mission to persuade his own chocolate-box Cotswolds village, Temple Guiting, to generate more power through renewable sources while taking inspiration from energy drives in (of all places) Las Vegas. Will the villagers come round, or just think he’s a meddling old smeghead? Ali Catterall
Kat and Alfie: Redwater
8pm, BBC1
Episode three of the brooding death-and-secrets saga set in Ireland, which has Kat and Alfie from EastEnders dropped into the middle. Kat (Jessie Wallace) bonds with her estranged son, although she’s lying about his father and he fails to mention being a murderer. It’s a drama powered almost entirely by pained staring: into the middle distance as a default, at each other when the grudges really flare. Jack Seale
The Wizard of Lies
9pm, Sky Atlantic
HBO lines up the big names as Barry Levinson directs Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer in a feature-length drama that deals with the spectacular fall of fraudster Bernie Madoff. The performances are strong, especially from Pfeiffer as Madoff’s wife, Ruth, shown as someone naive about her husband’s crimes. But despite the film focusing largely on Madoff’s family, it arguably under-explores his motives. Jonathan Wright
The Good Fight
9pm, More4
The Good Wife spin-off concludes with bi-annual reviews at law firm Reddick, Boseman and Kolstad. It’s good news for Lucca; for Maia, not so much. But, without entering spoiler territory, both will find themselves on a similarly sticky wicket come the credits. Meanwhile, Diane gets a call, informing her that love-rat husband Kurt has been in an accident. As a blackout hits Chicago, will they be able to move past his affair, or is it the final curtain for their marriage? Ben Arnold
Film choice
Ruby Sparks (Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris, 2012) 1.35am, Film4
This witty tale from the Little Miss Sunshine couple tiptoes along an intriguing line between Woody Allen-style comedy and disturbing, Stepford Wives sci-fi. Paul Dano plays lonesome novelist Calvin who, stuck with writer’s block, starts typing out a fantasy about his ideal woman. Lo and behold, the effervescent Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan, who also wrote and produced the film) steps into real life, prompting a relationship of some subtlety and poignancy. Paul Howlett
