Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen
9pm, BBC Two
“Agatha Christie’s childhood is haunted by a sinister phantom – a gunman, an imaginary figure stalking her dreams and her home … evil is an ever-lurking presence.” Lucy Worsley certainly knows how to rope you in with a great historical tale. In this three-part series, she brings her recent biography of the enigmatic and elusive queen of crime to the screen, through dramatisation, interviews with experts and an infectious passion for the writer.

For the Gaza Strip’s underground artists, simply staging a play or going to the cinema can be horribly risky due to Hamas censorship. Reporter Jonathan Miller meets a man who is bravely determined to renovate an old cinema to its former glory – even as the Palestinian enclave’s cinemas are being branded “dens of pornography” and burned down. Ali Catterall

Film choice
Meet Cute, Prime Video
Alex Lehmann’s new film is less of a romcom and more of a romdram, as Kaley Cuoco’s suicidal Sheila uses a time machine to relive her perfect first date with Gary (Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson in straight-man mode) and stave off her despair. There are notes of Before Sunrise and It’s a Wonderful Life as the story shifts uneasily between black comedy and sadness. But you should really watch this for the immensely likable Cuoco – on a roll after The Flight Attendant – who brings a zesty, slightly acidic humour and chippy vulnerability to her character.
