Following last year's English-language adaptation starring Jeremy Irons and Sam Claflin, a new four-part French-language version of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel airs tonight. The series splits the 2024 movie into episodes, with the first instalment ending as hero Edmond Dantès attempts a prison break.
Elsewhere, Bradley Walsh hosts another low-scoring edition of the vintage word-matching quiz, with celebrity helpers including Joe Marler and Sue Perkins proving of little use. Explorer Lucy Shepherd continues her Tanzanian journey, encountering hippos for the first time and trekking past dangerous lion prides to a sacred volcano.
The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood hosts the latest episode of Saturday Night Live UK, with music from Meek. Meanwhile, the documentary Spinal Tap II: The End Continues airs on Sky Cinema, following the band's reunion concert in New Orleans with cameos from Paul McCartney and Elton John.
Film highlights include Fred Zinnemann's Oscar-winning drama From Here to Eternity, set on a Hawaii army base in 1941, and the 2021 French thriller Black Box, about an air-crash investigator who uncovers a conspiracy.
