Lenny Henry: One of a Kind
9pm, ITV1
“I can’t imagine anyone saying they don’t like Lenny Henry,” says David Tennant, setting the tone for a fond tribute. This film is a reminder of the sheer volume of Henry’s achievements: from his early days as an impressionist, through the (utterly bananas) Tiswas, Three of a Kind, his forays into music and acting and an incredible amount of charity work, he’s never stood still for long. A tonic. Phil Harrison
The Art of Film with Ian Nathan
8pm, Sky Arts
A thoughtful new series in which the film writer Ian Nathan explores the styles and sensibilities that have shaped cinema. He begins with a deep dive on the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, whose collaborations helped define the late 1940s in Britain. PH
Soldier
9pm, BBC One
Crawling through mud, hitting stuff with guns, screaming: the recruits are now halfway through their course, so it’s time to put them under even more pressure. Stretton and Hall-Beakhouse could crumble, so how will they cope with being out in the field without sleep and comfort? Hannah Verdier
Interview With the Vampire
9pm, BBC Two
The bloodsucking continues in this adroitly made adaptation of Anne Rice’s gothic horror novel. Daniel continues researching his scoop, as he’s given access to the diaries of a vampire: the little girl saved from last week’s fire, who may soon regret not perishing. Alexi Duggins
Taskmaster
9pm, Channel 4
It is not hard to elicit disgust from Taskmaster Greg Davies. He’ll curl his lip at the mildest infraction. But what Lucy Beaumont does this week manages to creep out everyone. Yes, even the peaceable Sue Perkins and the unshockable Julian Clary. Ellen E Jones
My Super-Rich Holiday
10pm, Channel 4
The comedian and Strictly contestant Eddie Kadi, who is British-Congolese, is our guide to the world of wealthy Ghanaians in this glitzy documentary. In the company of Guz Khan, he explores Accra’s deluxe hangouts, where you might bump into Afrobeats megastars and multimillionaire playboys. PH

Censor (Prano Bailey-Bond, 2021), 10.50pm, Film4
Prano Bailey-Bond’s hallucinatory drama delves into the “video nasty” panic of the 80s (Driller Killer, I Spit on Your Grave, etc), while cheekily mimicking those films’ low-budget, visceral horror aesthetic. A haunted-looking Niamh Algar stars as film censor Enid. She’s mostly inured to the (male) violence she sees in her job, until she watches a film that has echoes of the disappearance of her sister when they were kids. Fiction and reality blur as her belief that her sibling is still alive leads her into a surreal, Lynchian world of mystery and confusion. Simon Wardell
