Ithaka: The Fight to Free Assange
10.20pm, ITV1
“Torture is a tool used to send a warning to others. It is most effective when it is inflicted in public.” The words of Nils Melzer – the UN’s special rapporteur on torture from 2016 to 2022 – open this remarkable documentary about Julian Assange’s arrest in 2019 and his time in prison awaiting extradition to the US for one of the largest ever leaks of government secrets. His father John Shipton and wife Stella Assange share the family’s complex journey. Hollie Richardson

Did the fentanyl that killed Eva Owusu come from the very hospital where she was treated and died?

Depp v Heard

The Man Who Played With Fire
9pm, Sky Documentaries
“You can get $2m dollars if you kill Olof Palme.” The second instalment sees warnings of a CIA hit fall on deaf ears. Yet journalist Stieg Larsson deemed the hypothesis plausible. But one theory linked to the 1986 assassination of Sweden’s PM, a truly remarkable classified CIA file found in his possession, could change everything. Danielle De Wolfe

Loveless, 1.15am, Film4
Andrey Zvyagintsev followed the biting Leviathan with this sombre but moving tale. One snowswept autumn, a Moscow couple (Maryana Spivak and Aleksey Rozin) are preparing to separate but, with new partners already lined up, neither wants custody of their 12-year-old son. When the boy goes missing, and a volunteer search team get involved, they are forced to confront their self-centred, emotionally stunted ways. Despite being an intimate film, it’s not a stretch to view the pair’s empty lives as a microcosm of Russian society. Simon Wardell
