The Three Kings of 1936

9pm on Channel 5

The loss of one king can be seen as a misfortune; Missing two is like negligence.

This film revisits that turbulent year through archival footage and insight from royal watchers. Graeme Virtue

Worldbreaker, available now, Prime Video

In a post-climate collapse future, humanity is under attack by the Breakers, insectoid creatures that have emerged from beneath the Earth’s surface and have infected or killed most of the population, with men particularly vulnerable. Luke Evans and Billie Bullitt play a father and his 15-year-old daughter hiding out on an island while her mother (Milla Jovovich) fights with her all-female army. Thanks to a limited budget, director Brad Anderson focuses on the coming-of-age angle, with Evans’ Welsh ballad giving a cold feel to the survival story. Simon Wardle

A Brief History of the Family, 10.40pm, BBC4

Lin Jianji’s delicious Chinese psychological drama has hints of Parasite, but this tale of a cuckoo in a middle-class family’s nest is far more disturbing and mysterious. Xilun Sun plays Yan Shuo, a reserved boy who befriends his athletic but less academically gifted classmate Tu Wei (Muran Lin). Wei’s mother (Keyu Guo) and father (Feng Zu) see in Shuo the son they wanted – attentive, cultured, and intelligent – but is his rising presence in their lives merely an attempt to escape a seemingly abusive father or something more sinister?
