Frankie Boyle’s Farewell to the Monarchy
10pm, Channel 4
As an antidote to the BBC’s bumper coronation buildup, Frankie Boyle takes a caustic swipe at the monarchy with this whistlestop tour through its 1,000-year history and plenty of fist-biting jokes (barely two minutes pass before a Prince Andrew gag makes you spit out your tea). From William the Conqueror to King Charles III, he learns the “lessons” each monarch has given the nation. If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. Hollie Richardson
Charles R: The Making of a Monarch
8pm, BBC One
He’s the nation’s new king, but who is he really? This documentary offers insight into King Charles’s perspective and his seven-decade apprenticeship.

Great Expectations
9pm, BBC One
Magwitch circle: Steven Knight’s atmospheric but divisive Dickens adaptation reaches its finale, closing the time loop on its arresting opening scenes of Pip (Fionn Whitehead) preparing to throw himself off a bridge. That stormy sense of emotional turmoil sets the stage for a highly charged showdown at Satis House. Graeme Virtue
Malpractice
9pm, ITV1
The hospital thriller grows thick with tension and lies this week. After accidentally pushing her dodgy acquaintance in front of a car, will Lucinda (Niamh Algar) stick around for the ambulance or scuttle off? Put it this way: she’s soon giving a champagne-fuelled speech for the award her hospital department just won. HR
The Windsors Coronation Special
9pm, Channel 4
It has only been three years since the royal spoof last aired – but boy is there a lot of ground to cover in this hour-long coronation special. With Harry Enfield as Charles, Ellie White as Beatrice, Hugh Skinner as Wills and Haydn Gwynne as Camilla (or should that be Cruella de Vil?), it’s silly if ever so slightly obvious fun. HR
Ruby Wax: Cast Away
9pm, Channel 5
The comedian is on her fifth day of being marooned on a desert island. “I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die,” she cries in her tent after 24 hours of torrential rain. Luckily, she doesn’t – and is soon hunting coconuts and making friends with Spartacus the hermit crab. HR
Film choice
Beatriz at Dinner, 12.30am, BBC One
Miguel Arteta’s edgy drama could be seen as a dry run for its writer Mike White’s future TV hit, The White Lotus. There is the same interplay of insouciantly wealthy capitalists and those who serve them, though here there is less satire and more sadness. The focus is on Salma Hayek’s Beatriz, a Mexican alternative healer who finds herself stuck at the California mansion of a client, Kathy (Connie Britton), who is entertaining her husband’s colleagues. Among them is John Lithgow’s smug developer, the catalyst in drawing out the despair in Beatriz’s normally placid soul. Simon Wardell
