Four kings

At 10pm on Channel 4

Over the course of a week in 1993, half a billion people tuned in to watch Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Frank Bruno and Lennox Lewis battle it out for boxing’s biggest prizes. In this compelling four-part documentary, the four men talk candidly about the golden age of British boxing – from the gore (tongue cuts, detached retinas) to the glory, the racism of the time and, of course, the rivalries. There are surprisingly heavy moments too, because they reflect what it all means. Holly Richardson

Great pottery throw

7.45pm, Channel 4

The great pottery toss continues as judges Keith Bremer-Jones and Rich Miller assign more diabolical tasks to the ten remaining potters in the house, fighting for the clay crown. This week’s tests involve making a ‘puzzle jug’ before taking on a second surprise challenge while blindfolded. Ali Catterall

Call your midwife

8pm, BBC One

It’s Easter in Poplar, and what better way to celebrate than with the community panicking about a possible rabies outbreak?

Ant & Dec Unlimited Win

8pm on ITV1

The biggest prize in a game show, because it’s limitless, is up for grabs once again. Loved-up couple Evie and Kevin are set to answer questions this week – and hopefully they’ve brushed up on their knowledge of Rihanna, Roald Dahl and Nirvana. Human resources

Night manager

9pm, BBC One

Something’s off if your six-part thriller needs four episodes to set up its premise, but by the end of this one, we’re finally there. Last week’s shocking development prompts the return of Olivia Colman as troubled horror Angela Burr. However, our hero Tom Hiddleston remains unemployed. Jack Seale

After the flood

9pm on ITV1

The first series of the climate crisis-adjacent police drama ended with a cliffhanger: will trainee detective Jo Marshall (Sophie Rundle) risk blowing up her life to expose police corruption? It has now been a year in Waterside, but no less tense, with the increasing threat of swamp fires and the discovery of another body under strange circumstances. Ellen E. Jones

Choose a movie

Harvey, 11 a.m., movie 4

“For years I’ve been smart. I recommend having fun.” James Stewart’s affable qualities are at the forefront of Henry Koster’s 1950 warm-hearted comedy. He plays Elwood P Dowd, a harmless drunkard who hangs out in bars with a 6-foot-tall invisible white rabbit/fairy spirit named Harvey. Or is his addiction to alcohol causing him hallucinations? The townspeople either keep their distance from him or play games with him, but his sister Vita (a terribly confused Josephine Hall) is at the end of her rope. Despite his potential mental health issues, Elwood’s spirit of enjoying all that life has to offer is a compelling one. Simon Wardle

She may be half his age, but Audrey Hepburn’s partnership with Cary Grant in this 1963 crime thriller was almost perfect in Paris. Experts in quick wit and effortless romance, they navigate Stanley Donen’s thriller, set in the French capital, about a widow (Hepburn), her recently murdered husband who stole $25,000, and the bad guys who want to know his whereabouts. Grant is the helpful stranger with secrets of his own. Donen, a veteran of the MGM musical, keeps things colorful despite the peril-laden plot. Southwest
