Urban Myths: Les Dawson’s Parisienne Adventure

Steve Pemberton’s series based on the dramatic reimaginings of the most infamous and salacious stories to come out of the worlds of art, culture and celebrity begins its fourth season with the tale of comic Les Dawson in 1950s Paris. John Bradley stars as Dawson, a young man leaving Manchester with the hopes of becoming a novelist in the French capital, following in the footsteps of his existentialist heroes Sartre and Camus. Yet, he soon finds himself playing the piano in a brothel. Ammar Kalia
The Savoy
9pm, ITV
The hotel doc continues; rendered poignant by the looming shadow of Covid-19, laying in wait for the industry. Tonight, though, it is Valentine’s Day and romance is in the air for some, but for the staff it is mainly just a hard slog. Elsewhere, restaurant director Thierry is still reeling after Gordon Ramsay’s visit. Phil Harrison

Fading Gigolo (John Turturro, 2013), 2.45am, Channel 4
In this wry sex comedy-come-middle-aged male fantasy, character actor Turturro directs himself as a gigolo, lusted over by the likes of Sharon Stone and Vanessa Paradis. It’s all rather charming and wistful, with an entertaining turn from Woody Allen as Turturro’s friend and occasional pimp. Paul Howlett
