David Frost Vs
9pm, Sky Documentaries
Of all David Frost’s TV interviews, his 28 hours with disgraced former president Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal was his most watched and most important. The inside story is told here, opening a series that revisits Frost’s work (later subjects are Elton John and the Middle East). Contributors include his son Wilfred, Nixon insiders Frank Gannon and Ken Khachigian, and Ron Howard and Michael Sheen (the director and star of the 2008 film Frost/Nixon). Hollie Richardson
The Great House Revival
7pm, BBC Two
If there was ever a gap in the market for TV shows exploring property renovations, there certainly isn’t now: here is another small variation on a familiar theme. It begins in a derelict Georgian cottage, which mental health nurse Mary-Claire and carpenter Sully hope to turn into a modern home. Phil Harrison
Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr

8pm, Channel 4
Another new series of Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp’s property behemoth. When this show began, £375k would have bought luxury. Now, as sisters Amoke and Ines find out, it might just about get you a London flat. Meanwhile, in a very different part of the country (north Wales), Rachel and Leo have £400,000 for a family home.

Race Across the World
9pm, BBC One
The four remaining teams set their sights on the sacred Hindu city of Varanasi in northern India. There is more on the personal struggles that brought them to the race, before a thrilling dash that tests everyone’s patience – and the integrity of Melvyn’s wheelie case. Hannah J Davies
I, Jack Wright
9pm, U&Alibi
The family inheritance drama continues, and alibis once thought solid are unravelling thanks to DCI Morgan (Harry Lloyd). The tension is cranking up – especially for Britpop casualty Gray (John Simm) – but there is still space for quirks such as Morgan demolishing a packet of Party Rings. Graeme Virtue

Garbo: Where Did You Go? (Lorna Tucker, 2024), 9pm, Sky Arts
Lorna Tucker, who directed Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist, delves into the life of another grand cultural figure in this beguiling documentary. From a childhood in a Stockholm slum to becoming the most famous female star in Hollywood, Greta Garbo’s upward trajectory was giddy – but the film suggests that she lost a part of her soul along the way. Using her own letters, plus contemporary news stories and interviews, a picture emerges of a reluctant celebrity who really did just want to be alone. Simon Wardell
