Hatton Garden: The Great Diamond Heist
10pm, Channel 4
“This will not be their first rodeo.” That was the reaction of one forensic expert upon surveying the aftermath of the audacious jewellery theft in London’s Hatton Garden in 2015. This entertaining documentary explores the theft and the aftermath: the picaresque characters and unspooling underworld intrigue bear more resemblance to a Guy Ritchie film than to anything real.

Beyond the Brush
8pm, Sky Arts
Two more pivotal moments in art history. Ignored at the time, it took centuries before Botticelli was recognised for his romantic (and shocking) visions of female beauty, epitomised by The Birth of Venus. The Last Supper, meanwhile, was Leonardo Da Vinci’s masterpiece of psychological intrigue and technical wizardry. Priya Elan
A Woman of Substance
9pm, Channel 4

Chauvet: Humanity’s First Great Masterpiece
9pm, BBC Four
It is, says one contributor to this documentary, “the Sistine Chapel of paleolithic art”: the Chauvet cave in France’s Gorges de l’Ardèche, revealed to modernity for the first time in 1994, has more than 1,000 paintings on its walls, preserved by a landslide 20,000 years ago. Who did the daubs, and how best can they be protected now? Jack Seale
The Comeback
9pm, Sky Comedy
Even with the likes of The Studio covering similar ground, the final season of Lisa Kudrow’s Hollywood-skewering sitcom remains fresh. This week Valerie is heartened to hear that some humans (played by Abbi Jacobson and John Early) are involved with her AI sitcom – only to be disappointed again when they meet. Hannah J Davies
Captive Audience: A Real American Horror Story
11pm, BBC Two
A kidnapped son returns home safe after seven years, rescuing another young abductee in the process: it sounds like a happy ending. But 14-year-old Steven Stayner became the centre of a relentless media circus in the 1980s, as episode two of this lavishly assembled true-crime three-parter reveals. Graeme Virtue

Hard Target (John Woo, 1993), 9pm, Great! Action
Director John Woo’s first attempt to bring the stylistic flourishes of Hong Kong action cinema to American audiences is a mixed bag. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as an out-of-work, homeless Cajun merchant seaman and ex-Marine (which explains the weird accent – sort of). The script, based on Richard Connell’s frequently adapted 1924 short story The Most Dangerous Game, is weak in a way that’s only highlighted by Van Damme’s wooden delivery. Still, Woo crams in enough slo-mo shootouts and absurdly loud car explosions to justify your time. A curious cult classic. Ellen E Jones
