The Murder Line
10pm, ITV1
Minnie Driver is a gun-toting criminal with an impeccable bob in this Canadian thriller (previously titled The Borderline). In his riverside town, cop Henry Roland (Stephen Amell) discovers that a childhood friend is linked to a drugs operation, which leads him to cross paths with crime family matriarch May Ferguson (Driver). Throw in a double murder and we have a juicy drama. Hollie Richardson
Secret Africa: Into the Wild

This immersive travelogue sees up-for-it explorer Lucy Shepherd embark on a six-week trek through Tanzania.

World’s Most Secret Hotels

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, 11.50am, 6pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Kogonada’s beguiling fable pushes two damaged people together through a fantastical meet-cute, then traces their fraught quest for peace of mind. After being introduced at a wedding, David (Colin Farrell) and Sarah (Margot Robbie) end up in the same mysterious rental car. Nudged by a matchmaking GPS, they stop off at a series of magical doors and revisit scenes from their pasts to work out how they got to be the sad singletons they are now. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Howl’s Moving Castle, Before Sunrise – pick your own filmic reference – come to mind as the pair reassess memories of heartbreak, loss, betrayal and, occasionally, love. Simon Wardell
Sabrina, 12.50pm, Sky Arts
Not a biopic of the Espresso hitmaker, sadly, but an old-school romance from Billy Wilder about love across the class divide. Audrey Hepburn, the epitome of stylish joie de vivre, plays the titular chauffeur’s daughter, who has a crush on David (William Holden), playboy brother of stuffy industrialist Linus (Humphrey Bogart). David barely notices her, until she returns from two years in Paris with a swish wardrobe and air of confidence. But he is promised to another as part of a business deal, so Linus plots to seduce Sabrina away from him, then dump her. SW
