The Last Anniversary

9pm, BBC One

Cold glass of Chardonnay and wraparound cashmere cardy at the ready: it’s another bingeable Liane Moriarty adaptation about wealthy women and family secrets, executive produced by Nicole Kidman. Sophie (Teresa Palmer) is a journalist who inherits the property of an ex-boyfriend’s relative. Off she heads to Scribbly Gum Island, where the mystery reason behind why Connie (Angela Punch McGregor) chose her and not one of the women in her own family slowly unravels. Hollie Richardson

Doctor Who

After an entertaining, politicised trip around the cosmos, the penultimate episode means serious franchise-lore business and a grand effort to tie this year’s themes and secrets together.

9pm, BBC Two

Liza Minnelli has lived a life straight out of a Hollywood script: she tells it herself with vim, candour and delicious wickedness. It starts with her showbiz parents (she cried for eight days when her mother Judy Garland died), then a life-changing meeting with Bob Fosse that led to Cabaret and an Oscar. HR

Harry: Can He Ever Be Forgiven?

9pm, Channel 5

His recent BBC interview was just the latest salvo in the war of words between Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace since their uncoupling in 2020. Have they passed the point of no return? A hastily convened crew of royal-watchers speculate. Graeme Virtue

Fake

10.10pm, ITV1

Asher Keddie is too good at straddling the fine line between hope and paranoia as she plays Birdie, a fortysomething journalist in a toxic new relationship. We all know she needs to run a mile from skin-crawling Joe (David Wenham) and his grand idea to buy a mansion called Eldorado. But she just wants to believe him so badly. HR

Guy Ritchie channels his inner Indiana Jones – by way of Lara Croft and The Da Vinci Code – in this light-on-its-feet adventure about the hunt for the mythical wrinkle-banishing spring. John Krasinski brings an amiable charm to Luke Purdue, an art thief with a grand plan that involves the reluctant help of his curator sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman) and the deep pockets of the “embarrassingly” rich but terminally ill Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson). There are coded messages in old master paintings, the raising of the Lusitania and, inevitably, ancient Egyptian tombs in their action-heavy global quest, with Krasinski and Portman sharp and funny as the bickering siblings.
