Beyond Paradise

8pm, BBC One

It was a heartbreaking start to life in their new Devon paradise for Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) last week, and they are struggling to move forward after their loss. Things get worse for Humphrey, who is now taking on his most bizarre case yet: a family of four have vanished from their house, leaving their dinners half-eaten and the TV and lights left on.

Hotel Portofino

9pm, ITV1

For once it’s the Portofino’s staff, and not their imperious guests, causing the most trouble. At least that’s how it seems when Bella’s compromising letter falls into the wrong hands and a valuable painting goes missing, culminating in a showdown between Cecil and Jack. Ellen E Jones

QI

9pm, BBC Two

More amiable middlebrow panel show joshing as we revisit highlights from the 20th series of this trivia quiz. QI is very much a known quantity at this stage – but from very intimate locations for gun ports to the precise etymology of cattle, you’ll pick up a few diverting trivia titbits. Phil Harrison

Elvis (Baz Luhrmann, 2022), 11.35am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Austin Butler just bagged a Bafta for his turn as Elvis Presley, and he is the best thing in Baz Luhrmann’s flamboyant biopic of the rock’n’roller. Mastering the physical impersonation, Butler also gives a sense of Presley as an unresolved mix of mummy’s boy and sexual whirlwind, while the recreations of his stage performances are electrifying. The film looks at events through the eyes of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker – played uneasily with a prosthetic nose and sort-of Dutch accent by Tom Hanks – which foregrounds the financial aspect of their relationship and the what-ifs of a career Luhrmann sees as created but also hindered by Parker.
