Living Wild: How to Change Your Life

A Hard Day’s Night, 3.05pm, BBC Two
Richard Lester’s freewheeling 1964 musical featuring the Beatles is a wonderful snapshot of four lads revelling in their newfound fame. There is scripted dialogue and a vague plot about the recording of a TV show, but it’s shot with so much vivacity, and the band are such naturals in front of the camera, that it feels more like an off-the-cuff documentary than a comedy caper. Wilfrid Brambell brings sitcom chops as Paul’s errant grandfather, and Ringo shines in his solo scenes, but the film’s winning combination of slapstick, scouse wit and pop hits is a team effort.

The Macaluso Sisters, 9pm, BBC Four
The ties that bind and the changes time brings are the concerns of this tender Italian drama. We meet the five sisters, all teenagers or younger, living by themselves in a rundown flat in Palermo and surviving by renting out homing pigeons for events. After a tragedy, the film shifts through the decades, as sibling relationships cohere or fracture amid the ghosts of the past. Emma Dante’s film reveals its origins as a play in the focus on domestic detail but takes flight through the ever-present pigeons – which symbolise both the dream of escape and the pull of home. SW
Assault on Precinct 13, 11pm, HorrorXtra
A loose adaptation of Rio Bravo, John Carpenter’s taut, low-budget thriller relocates the western to the mean streets of LA. Austin Stoker is the police lieutenant assigned to oversee the closure of a ghetto police station who finds himself besieged there by a cabal of street gangs, trapped with a traumatised father, two female clerical staff and a couple of convicts en route to death row. It’s a film of concentrated suspense – silencers give a spooky intensity to the gunfire, the dialogue is to the point and Carpenter’s own propulsive synth score adds to the menace. SW
