TV Night: A wonderful film about a Soviet-era sanatorium | television

Storyville: Sanitarium

10pm, BBC4
A wonderful film recorded during the summer at the Koyalnik Sanatorium in Odessa. Despite the conflict in Ukraine, war is a background presence. Instead, this looks like a Wes Anderson movie: a vast, sprawling, anachronistic Soviet relic, surrounded by allegedly life-giving clay, and boasting the kind of equipment that would have been state-of-the-art 100 years ago. A piece of air that will remain in the memory. Phil Harrison

ambulance

9pm, BBC One
A surprisingly good start to the new series of the BAFTA award-winning ambulance show, as caller Ellie guides a man to deliver his wife’s baby. It’s in Yorkshire this time, and things quickly escalate in a Saturday night shift, with an 80-year-old man suffering a bad fall and a man having a mental health crisis. Holly Richardson

TikTok: The murder went viral

9pm on ITV1
After 17-year-old Charlie Couser was killed at a party in 2023, his father Martin turned to TikTok as an outlet for his grief. His initial videos reached millions, while the family’s charity, Charlie’s Promise, used social media to educate young people about preventing knife crime. A compelling defense of TikTok as a surprisingly effective tool for positive change. Ali Catterall

Murder before Evensong

As the ever-exasperated Reverend Canon Daniel Clement (Matthew Lewis) continues to ponder the various murder suspects in his village, the women in his life push the case forward, using classic convenient crime tactics.

Cinema club

10pm on BBC Three
Will film nerds Evie (Amy Lou Wood) and Noah (Nabhan Rizwan) get their happy ending? It’s the final double bill of Wood’s charming will-they-won’t-they comedy-drama, and Noah saying goodbye to Evie as he leaves for his new job. But fortunately, the dream team’s mother Suz (Suranne Jones) and sister Izzie (Liv Hill) are trying to make some sense of the pair. Human resources

In my own words: Frederick Forsyth

10.40pm, on BBC One
“If the bastards don’t get me with this, they’ll never get me.” So speaks the author of “The Day of the Jackal” in this posthumous interview programme, presenting the bullet that went through his hair during the Biafran war. It’s an entertaining journey through a life in which he was an RAF pilot, BBC correspondent, MI6 informant – and millionaire thriller writer. Alexey Duggins
