Ken Dodd: A Legacy of Happiness
9pm, BBC Two
A chunky documentary taking a deep dive into the life of the scouse comedy legend.

Phil Harrison

The Prestige, 10.30pm, BBC One
In between his first two Batmans, Christopher Nolan conjured up this tantalising Victorian-era mystery, adapted from Christopher Priest’s novel. It tracks the rivalry between two magicians in London – the great showman Angier (Hugh Jackman) and the more talented but less crowd-pleasing Borden (Christian Bale). There are secrets aplenty to be uncovered as Angier tries to figure out how Borden’s astounding trick the Transported Man is done (including a visit to inventor Nikola Tesla – a nice cameo from David Bowie) in a wonderfully twisty tale. Simon Wardell
Boxcar Bertha, 11.05pm, Sky Arts
Producer Roger Corman gave a leg up to many future stars of the movie business, including Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron. In 1972, he funded Martin Scorsese’s atypical second feature, a caper set in the deep south during the Great Depression about the adventures of crop-dusting pilot’s daughter Bertha (Barbara Hershey). While riding the trains, she joins up with a union man (David Carradine), her dad’s mechanic (Bernie Casey) and Barry Primus’s Yankee card sharp on a spree of bank robberies. A freewheeling yarn – violent, scrappy and sexy. SW
