Kathy Burke: Growing Up
10pm, Channel 4
“I don’t dye my hair and I’ve not got any grey – I put that down to no kids, no dicky and plenty of marijuana.” Ahead of turning 59, Kathy Burke is once again a wonderfully frank host in this uplifting documentary about getting older. In the first of two episodes (the second is on Thursday), she speaks to Jennifer Saunders (“How do you feel about being an old twat?”), Bill Bailey, who was Strictly’s oldest winner, a pensioner with a dominatrix side-hustle and a 76-year-old model who considers joining a co-housing scheme with a group of sprightly ninetysomethings. In doing this, Burke shows the reality of people who often feel “invisible” and lambasts the “crock of shit” anti-ageing industry. Hollie Richardson

Amulet (Romola Garai, 2020), 11.10pm, Film4
Romola Garai’s debut as a feature writer-director is a far cry from her usual period drama roles. It’s an eerie horror film in which Tomas (Alec Secareanu), a former soldier living on the London streets, is lured by Imelda Staunton’s nun into staying with Magda (Carla Juri) in her mouldy, creaky house. But there’s also Magda’s old mother, locked in the attic … The film’s off-kilter menace – from Tomas’s fevered memories of his time at a forest checkpoint to the meaty stew Magda serves – is exquisitely manifested in a tale that twists the male urge to protect vulnerable women to fiendish ends.
