TV tonight: Northern Ireland’s dangerous motorcycle pilgrimage

Ride Or Die

10.40pm, BBC One
Why do more than 100 motorcycle road racers from around the world make the pilgrimage to Northern Ireland every May to take part in the North West 200 – a dangerous race that involves competitors riding at speeds in excess of 200mph? This documentary speaks to the people doing it – including five-time winner Lee Johnston and trailblazer Maria Costello – whose reasons range from religion to gaining a sense of purpose.

Interior Design Masters With Alan Carr

8pm, BBC One
Another cohort of interior designers face a new set of challenges as this slight but watchable show reaches its sixth series. It begins with a tricky assignment in the Lake District – youth hostel bunk-rooms don’t offer much space but, as judges Michelle Ogundehin and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen soon find out, there’s still plenty of room for things to go wrong.

Nick Grimshaw’s dog school takes in bulldog Bobby, who either can’t walk or won’t walk. There’s also Harley and Jack – two pooches who refuse to get along with each other. And miniature dachshund Milo has quite the yap, but is it only because he’s anxious? HR

Devious thriller … Daisy Ridley and Hiba Ahmed in Magpie. Photograph: Rob Baker Ashton/Signature Entertainment

Magpie (Sam Yates, 2024), Paramount+
This devious psychological thriller about a marriage is based on an original idea by Daisy Ridley and written by her husband, Tom Bateman, so it’s possible the couple are working out some stuff here. Ridley plays Annette, whose daughter Matilda (Hiba Ahmed) wins a role in a movie. However, it’s her writer spouse Ben (Shazad Latif) who gets to chaperone the child on location – and lust after its Italian star – while Annette is stuck at home with their new baby. Latif is on point as a self-entitled, sexist fool, while Ridley is mesmeric and edgy as the vengeful Annette. Simon Wardell

Fantastic Planet (René Laloux, 1973), 10.45pm, Sky Arts

Far out … Fantastic Planet Photograph: Courtesy of the Criterion Collection

A product of the hippy era in the same vein as Yellow Submarine, French director René Laloux’s extremely trippy 1973 cartoon feature follows the Draags, blue-skinned, red-eyed inhabitants of the planet Ygam. They have taken humans, who are tinier than them, from Earth to use as pets – but the “Oms” have escaped and now constitute a wild population to be controlled and culled. An allegory of our treatment of animals, the film’s principal pleasures come from the weird and wonderful flora, fauna and far-out fashions on display, rendered in exquisite cutout animation. SW

Radical (Christopher Zalla, 2023), 11.40pm, Film4

Unconventional methods … Eugenio Derbez in Radical.

Christopher Zalla’s “inspirational teacher” drama leaves the likes of Dead Poets Society in the dust – not least because it’s set in a Mexican border town mired in poverty, corruption and gang violence. Eugenio Derbez is Sergio Juárez, who takes over a sixth-grade class at an institution nicknamed Punishment School. The kids are nonplussed by his unconventional methods – as is the head – but they quickly become engaged and reveal their hidden potential. Based on a true story, the film’s setting guarantees heartbreak as harsh realities intrude on them all. SW
