Secrets of the Bayeux Tapestry: Inside the Museum<\/p>\n
9pm, BBC Two
State guests can only dream of the sort of welcome the Bayeux Tapestry has received in London. No wonder one of the French conservators in this documentary was having nightmares about its \u201ctreacherous journey beneath the channel\u201d. Michael Palin narrates the events of its move to the British Museum, while historians such as David Olusoga and Janina Ramirez help tell the story behind the stitches, with Rory Stewart also explaining why some call it a \u201cdodgy dossier\u201d.

Epstein: Money, Power and Abuse<\/p>\n
8pm, BBC One
How did Jeffrey Epstein get away with it for so long? This report explores the paedophile and sex trafficker\u2019s network of contacts among the super-rich and looks at his related cashflows. Clearly, this is a story with implications that remain important \u2013 so how much information still remains hidden? Phil Harrison<\/p>\n

After a three-year time jump, the superb Aussie romcom has seen its central couple Ash (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall) settle down with other partners. But does a frisson remain?

10pm, Channel 4
This new series sets itself apart from most fly-on-the-wall UK cop documentaries by shadowing Newcastle\u2019s neighbourhood policing unit. These public-facing bobbies and auxiliary street rangers remain remarkably upbeat as they deal with unpredictable incidents ranging from Lurpak heists to drunken brawls. GV<\/p>\n
Lubaina Himid: This Cultural Life<\/p>\n
10.30pm, BBC Four
John Wilson interviews Turner prize-winner Lubaina Himid, in a televised version of a programme previously broadcast on Radio 4 earlier this year. Their conversation is wide-ranging but \u2013 naturally \u2013 hinges on this feted British artist\u2019s pioneering place in the Black arts movement, and her bold mixed-media works with a satirical bent.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Kevin Reynolds, 1991) 5.35pm, Sky Cinema Greats
This month two entirely different films are out in cinemas, offering alternative takes on the legendary, wealth-redistributing outlaw. But neither the mortality-contemplating Hugh Jackman one, nor the mud-splattered Andrew Garfield one, can compete with this Kevin Costner-starring 90s classic. Alan Rickman was a deserved Bafta-winner for his definitive take on the Sheriff of Nottingham, but the real villain was that Bryan Adams theme song. Ellen E Jones<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the all-time great gangster films, offering a peer down the sidestreets and back alleys of late-60s Newcastle, plus Michael Caine in his charismatic, menacing prime. He plays Jack Carter, the titular hardman who returns to his home town after years spent in London\u2019s underworld in order to investigate, then avenge, his brother\u2019s death. Writer-director Mike Hodges cleverly incorporated aspects of real-life local crimes into his script, especially the notorious \u201cone-armed bandit murder\u201d of 1967, helping to usher in a gritty new era of realism for British crime drama.
