Patrick Marber Remembers… After Miss Julie
10pm, BBC Four
Writer Patrick Marber was once best known for comedy such as Alan Partridge, so it was an unexpected turn when he reimagined Strindberg’s 1888 play After Miss Julie in 1995. Before it airs (at 10.15), he talks about making it, and working with Kathy Burke and Phil Daniels. HR

Tin Soldier (Brad Furman, 2025), Prime Video
Well, this is a weird one. Tin Soldier is a film where Scott Eastwood attempts to infiltrate a cult and overthrow its leader. What makes it odd, however, is how heavily this is overshadowed by its supporting cast. Robert De Niro features in a typically underpowered late-stage role as a kind of military adviser. But even he recedes into the shadows next to Jamie Foxx, playing the aforementioned cult leader. He has huge hair. He has silly glasses. He has questionable facial hair. His name is The Bokushi. None of it makes any sense. It’s sort of incredible. Stuart Heritage
Emma (Autumn de Wilde, 2020), 11pm, BBC Two
This 2020 Jane Austen adaptation was the directorial debut of photographer Autumn de Wilde, who brought all the experience of her old career to the table. The story of a wealthy woman who attempts to act as a matchmaker, with far-reaching consequences, has been told over and over again. What sets this version apart are the lively performances – from Anya Taylor-Joy, Josh O’Connor and Bill Nighy – and visuals that are modern enough to cut through all the period stuffiness. SH
