Hacks

9pm, Sky Atlantic
The acidic, Emmy-winning showbiz drama has taken a bit of a hit in its final season but, really, it’s still a mess. In this double bill, Deborah (Jean Smart) falls in love with an AI inventor, before she and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) lean into their romantic side when they are mistaken for a couple. Hannah J Davies

St Denis Medical

A well-crafted piece of what’s on the rise is this week’s first episode of the US mockumentary. Nurse Alex tells the evil doctor Ron that she and her husband don’t hide from each other, which is embarrassing for everyone. In the second part, Joyce feels that nurses don’t appreciate Nurse Appreciation Week enough. Jack Seale

Film selection

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (Simon Curtis, 2025), 7.55am, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

After 52 episodes and two movies, if you haven’t fallen for Upstairs Downstairs what’s going on in the Crawley family, then this third and final movie probably isn’t for you. For the rest, the biggest scandal that took the minds of all the nobles is the divorce of Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery), which in 1930 prevents her from being presented to the prince and giving awards at the provincial ceremony. There’s also a tense discussion about money involving Cora’s brother (Paul Giamatti), and a guest appearance by Noël Coward. Spiffing. Simon Wardell
