Becoming Frida Kahlo
9pm, BBC Two
“Most of my friends grew up slowly; I grew up in an instant.” When bright, vivacious student Frida Kahlo was left seriously injured after a bus crash, it changed the trajectory of her life. She then became one of the most celebrated artists in the world, whose personal life was as colourful as her work. This first part of a lively three-part documentary series about her career paints her being creative as her way of winning. Hollie Richardson
Beyond Paradise
8pm, BBC One
The whole town being obsessed with a painting of a horse is the gently absurd premise for an impossible theft this week: the picture vanishes overnight despite being closely guarded in a locked room. DI Goodman (Kris Marshall) bumbles through a whodunnit with a short list of suspects. Jack Seale
Women Who Rock
9pm, Sky Arts
The series looking at female musicians who, well, rawwwwwk continues this week with the supremely self-assured Pat Benatar. “I threw many record company executives out of my house for being assholes,” says the woman who was the second-ever act on MTV. Ali Catterall
The Last Leg
10pm, Channel 4
The Last Leg lads return to swipe the week and are joined by the Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse, actor David Harewood and standup comedian Chris McCausland. Hopefully, at least one of the three can answer their ongoing “#isitok” hashtag. Ellen E Jones
The Graham Norton Show

Couples Therapy
11.05pm, BBC Two
This real-life therapy series is intimate to a fascinating, sometimes uncomfortable degree. This week’s focus is on race as Dr Guralnik is forced to ponder the power imbalance inherent in presiding over the struggles of black couples. It is made very clear when Dale links his anger issues to his daily treatment on the streets of the US. Phil Harrison
Film choice
Luther: The Fallen Sun (Jamie Payne, 2023), Netflix
Idris Elba’s brooding TV detective gets a movie makeover in Jamie Payne’s expansive noir thriller. With little time for subplots, the show creator, Neil Cross, dumps John Luther in prison, then quickly breaks him out so he can pursue a serial killer/criminal mastermind (played gleefully by Andy Serkis) in disgraced-cop-on-the-run mode. Reunited with his old Volvo and famous grey overcoat in a perpetually drizzly London, Luther and his old-school policing comes up against his target’s cyber expertise and Moriarty-like flair for a set-piece. A couple of fine Bond-like scenes show off the bigger budget, while Cynthia Erivo stars as the DCI on both their tails – and gives as good as she gets. Simon Wardell
