Better Off Dead?
9pm, BBC One
“Gosh, if I was like you, I couldn’t go on, I’d rather be dead.” It’s a comment that actor and disability rights activist Liz Carr, who was born with arthrogryposis, has heard from people – including strangers – all her life. In this powerful documentary, she makes a case for why we shouldn’t legalise assisted dying, speaking to people on all sides of the issue. She is very clear, though, that she won’t be changing her mind. Hollie Richardson

The Fallen Idol (Carol Reed, 1948), 3pm, Film4
Based on one of Graham Greene’s short stories, this engrossing, tragic drama from Carol Reed takes a child’s-eye view of tangled adult relationships. Neglected ambassador’s son Phillipe (a very natural Bobby Henrey) dotes on the embassy’s butler Baines (Ralph Richardson), who is unhappily married to Sonia Dresdel’s housekeeper. But one day, Phillipe discovers Baines’s secret liaison with secretary Julie (Michèle Morgan) and he is drawn into grownup situations he is barely capable of understanding. His attempts to balance truth and lies only make things worse. Simon Wardell
