Sharp Stick, 10.45pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Writer-director Lena Dunham digs down into the messy stuff of life again with this frank but sweet-natured coming-of-wisdom tale. Kristine Froseth plays winsome 26-year-old virgin Sarah Jo, a trainee carer for a child with special needs – the son of Josh (Jon Bernthal) and a heavily pregnant Heather (Dunham). She initiates an affair with Josh but is soon out of her depth emotionally, mistaking her failure for a lack of sexual expertise. Her subsequent education in erotica is eye-opening and often very funny. Simon Wardell
The Importance of Being Earnest, 12.30pm, BBC Two
This 1952 film is notable for the mic-drop moment of Edith Evans’s Lady Bracknell exclaiming: “A handbag?” However, courtesy of the original play’s author Oscar Wilde, Anthony Asquith’s elegant adaptation is full of other deliciously quotable lines. Michael Redgrave and Michael Dension play the upper-class friends who both assume the identity of “Ernest” in pursuit of the women they love (the ever delightful Joan Greenwood and Dorothy Tutin, respectively), causing a great deal of polite confusion when they all congregate at a country manor.

Children of Men
Part biblical allegory, part mythical quest, part dystopian action movie, Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 thriller just gets better with age. In a near-future (2027, to be exact) when all humans are infertile and the UK is a crumbling, anti-immigrant dictatorship, bureaucrat Theo (an impressively careworn Clive Owen) finds himself helping renegade activists protect Clare-Hope Ashitey’s refugee Kee – who is, miraculously, pregnant. In brilliant extended takes, Theo guides Kee towards safety through a rubbish-strewn, violent landscape of fear and bigotry. SW
