The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son
9pm, BBC Three
A documentary that goes beyond the boxing, and follows Chris Eubank and his son Chris Eubank Jr in behind-the-scenes footage and candid interviews filmed over the course of a year. They talk about rivalries in the ring, modern masculinity, living with grief after the death of Eubank’s other son, Sebastian, in 2021, and rebuilding a strained relationship with each other.

“Vast, remote and brutal” is Stephen Mangan’s accurate summation of Cape York, Australia. He attempts to navigate its roads alongside a perfect stranger: comedian Lara Ricote. It’s a classic, sparky odd-couple road-trip dynamic. Ali Catterall
