Waiting for the Out

Dennis Kelly’s prison drama, the first must-watch show of the year, passes its halfway point.

New Zealand’s Best Homes With Phil Spencer
5.25pm, Channel 4
“Tell you what: the Kiwis are very serious about their indoor-outdoor living,” says Phil. Today he visits a trio of homes with endless gardens and river views, from the paradisical Stables House in Waikato to Crinkle Cut, an open-plan oasis.

More variety show hijinks with the crowdpleasing comic. This week, YouTuber turned entrepreneur KSI has his phone hijacked, but will Idris Elba and Dua Lipa answer his suggestive texts?

Film choice
The Zone of Interest Saturday, 9.45pm, Channel 4
Other awards-garlanded films may come and go, but this drama will inspire awestruck discussion for decades to come. Christian Friedel – unrecognisable from his role in The White Lotus – stars as Rudolf Höss, the Auschwitz commandant who lived with his wife (Sandra Hüller) and children in an idyllic country home adjoining the notorious concentration camp. For the Höss family, domestic life continues as normal, while the screams of industrial-scale murder are often audible just over the garden wall. Jonathan Glazer’s film is an immersive historical drama, but it also makes chilling comment on our present moment, and humanity’s capacity to carry on as genocide takes place. Ellen E Jones
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Disney+, out now
Prestige TV’s two favourite Jeremys – Jeremy Allen White from The Bear and Jeremy Strong from Succession – are united in this solid Golden Globe-nominated Bruce Springsteen biopic. White stars as the Boss during a downbeat period of his life when he was holed up in his Colts Neck, New Jersey home, reflecting on his childhood trauma and fiddling about with the demo that would eventually evolve into 1982’s low-fi, bedroom-recorded album, Nebraska. Strong plays Jon Landau, the loyal manager and producer, who has always got Bruce’s back with the label. EEJ
