TV tonight: Sienna Miller's slick and seriously nasty divorce drama

War, on Sky Atlantic at 9pm, is a slick, stylish divorce drama that could get seriously nasty. Sienna Miller plays film star Carla, who has her sights set on the fortune of tech mogul Morgan, played by Dominic West. As befits an extremely rich man, Morgan has a very expensive and ruthless legal team. Nina Sosanya's lawyer, Beatrice Ubosi, warns: "If they play dirty, we will be total and utter filth." Expect fireworks.

Play for Today: Village Idiot and The Walking Dead: Dead City

Play for Today: Village Idiot airs on Channel 5 at 9pm. When a high-speed rail project threatens her cottage, pensioner Barbara (Phyllis Logan) chains herself to the porch. Her grandson Peter (Max Harwood), now a nervous liaison officer for the corporate side, must try to resolve the situation. Unlike its HS2 inspiration, the results are cheap and cheerful.

The Walking Dead: Dead City on Sky One at 9pm turns into something like a fraught episode of ER, but not because of the undead. Two rival gangs flood the hospital with wounds they have inflicted on each other. Maggie and the others face a delicate ethical dilemma: can they just let them die?

Comedy and chat shows

Have I Got News for You returns on BBC One at 9.30pm for series 72. Paul Merton and Ian Hislop have plenty to discuss, from the rise of Andy Burnham to the bin-defeating triumph of Nigel Farage. Gyles Brandreth joins them, with Richard Ayoade in the hosting chair.

Live From the Lycett Arms on Channel 4 at 10pm is an unashamedly boozy event in a London East End pub, serving as a delivery mechanism for Joe Lycett's chaotic, raunchy energy. After variable efforts from previous guest bar managers Sara Cox, Lenny Henry and Mel Giedroyc, the question is how his celebrity supervisor fares this week.

The Graham Norton Show on BBC One at 10.40pm features another big-name lineup. Sylvester Stallone, Catherine Zeta-Jones, 50 Cent and Andrew Garfield join the sofa, with Garfield touting his lead role in Paul Greengrass's film about the peasants' revolt, The Uprising.

Film choices

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (Jane Schoenbrun, 2026) is on Mubi. In her previous two movies, indie director Jane Schoenbrun explored the uncanny spaces between the internet, TV and daily life. This dark, delirious drama looks at movies and their unsettling hold on us. Hannah Einbinder plays Kris, an up-and-coming queer film-maker hired to reboot Camp Miasma, a "problematic" Friday the 13th-style slasher franchise. She visits the original's reclusive star, Billy (Gillian Anderson), who lives in the film's abandoned summer camp location. As the women get closer, reality and the film's grisly fiction blur in a giddy, psychosexual blowout.

The Last First: Winter K2 (Amir Bar-Lev, 2026) is on Apple TV. The documentary covers the 2021 race to be the first to climb the world's second-highest peak, which resulted in five deaths. Copious interviews and footage focus mainly on the Icelandic/Pakistani trio of John Snorri Sigurjónsson and Ali and Sajid Sadpara. They reached base camp first but were joined by climber Nims Purja and a large commercial expedition of mostly amateurs.
