Hijacked: Flight 73
9.30pm, Sky Documentaries
“The first thing I heard was shouting – then automatic fire.” On 5 September 1986, Palestinian terrorists stormed Pan Am Flight 73 as it stalled on the Karachi Airport tarmac. This gripping drama-documentary explores what happened over the next 16 hours, including the death of 21 passengers, in a day that would change terrorist operations for ever. Ali Catterall
The Essex Murders
11.10pm, Sky Documentaries
It’s the final part of the documentary about the deaths of drug dealers “the Essex boys” in 1995 and it picks up in the present day, with private investigators re-examining the case by meeting with “an underworld source” in a hotel room. “You’re trying to get to the truth of the murders … and this is the truth,” he tells them. Buckle up for a bumpy ride as he continues to talk. HR

In With a Shout
7pm, ITV1
Joel Dommett hosts the frantic gameshow that takes Catchphrase’s “say what you see” and runs with it, requiring contestants to blurt out answers over themed video montages so banal they sometimes tip into the surreal. This week, families from south Wales and Essex jockey for a chance to win up to £20,000. Graeme Virtue
Pointless Celebrities
7.35pm, BBC One
Standup comics Helen Bauer and Sunil Patel, actor Tamzin Outhwaite and Sex Education star George Robinson are the most recognisable names in this celebrity version of the general knowledge show. As they plough on through series 15, are they running out of people they haven’t featured? Alexi Duggins
Lost: Those Who Kill
9pm, BBC Four
The slow-burning but gripping Danish thriller concludes with another double-header. This time, it’s explosive as criminal profiler Louise Bergstein tries to get closer to Jon and pushes her luck too far. Like all TV criminal profilers, Louise is almost as messed up as her subjects but as with Robbie Coltrane’s Cracker, isn’t that half the attraction? Phil Harrison
Film choice
Peter Pan & Wendy, Disney+
With the tweak to its title, David Lowery’s new version opens up the JM Barrie play as a proper coming-of-age tale. Ever Anderson plays Wendy, unhappy about going to boarding school and losing touch with childhood joy. Cue the forever youthful Peter Pan (Alexander Molony), who whisks her and her young brothers away to Neverland for adventures with the Lost Boys (and girls) and piratical peril from Captain Hook (a menacing Jude Law). Amid the swashbuckling and airborne action, there is a hint of melancholy in a world where nothing and nobody changes. Simon Wardell
Lantana, 9pm, AMC
The lives of a group of Sydney residents overlap casually, then tragically, in Ray Lawrence’s superb drama. Anthony LaPaglia’s cop Leon is cheating on his unhappy wife, Sonja (Kerry Armstrong), who is seeing Barbara Hershey’s psychiatrist Valerie. Valerie and her academic husband John (Geoffrey Rush), in turn, are drifting apart while grieving their murdered daughter. The lovely but knotty lantana shrub – in which a body is discovered – echoes the tangled web of relationships and emotions on show, traversing class and gender boundaries. SW
Greta, 11.40pm, BBC One
The peerless Isabelle Huppert is horrifically watchable in this 2018 New York-set thriller, which probes the dark side of city life. Chloë Grace Moretz is the unfortunate Frances, who returns a handbag left on the subway and is lured into the life of its owner, French widow Greta (Huppert). Director Neil Jordan skilfully ratchets up the tension as Greta plays on Frances’s friendliness and loneliness, while Frances realises her new “surrogate mother” is certifiably clingy – and may have history with kind-hearted young women … SW
Apocalypse Now: Final Cut, 11.55pm, BBC Two
This is Francis Ford Coppola’s preferred version of his Vietnam war story, featuring slightly less material than the Redux release. It’s still a behemoth of a film, with the journey of Martin Sheen’s Willard into the heart of darkness a bravura mishmash of set-piece action, surreal comedy and psychological trauma. Marlon Brando’s rogue soldier Kurtz is the end point of Willard’s mission, but Coppola mixes in the likes of colonial history and US military misadventure in bold fashion. SW
