Storyville: Inheriting the Castle

10pm, BBC FourJustina, 60, has lived and later worked as a maid in a crumbling, eccentric mansion in rural Argentina since she was five.

Peacock

9pm, BBC Three

Perhaps the pre-workout energy drink championed by Kara (Saffron Hocking) is the answer? EEJ

Film choice

Brighton Rock (John Boulting, 1948), 2.20pm, Talking Pictures TV

Still the best film adaptation of a Graham Greene novel. A 25-year-old Richard Attenborough is on lacerating form as the gangster Pinkie Brown, trying to cover up a murder in the gaudy seaside resort that, in Greene’s hands, becomes a postlapsarian nightmare stewing in fleeting pleasures and Catholic damnation. The jury is still out on whether the new “happy” ending concocted by Greene to dodge the censors is a cop-out – or even more cynical than the novel itself. Phil Hoad
