The Capture
9pm, BBC One
This political thriller about the intelligence service’s use of deepfake “correction” videos was ahead of the curve when it debuted in 2019.

When another attack happens, she is the only one who sees the perpetrator’s real face … Hollie Richardson

The Manchurian Candidate, 9pm, Sky Arts
Terrific thriller … Frank Sinatra and Janet Leigh in The Manchurian Candidate on Sky Arts. Photograph: Cinematic/Alamy
With the brainwashing of US soldiers in 50s Korea pictured early on, John Frankenheimer’s terrific thriller makes its central mystery not what happened to Laurence Harvey’s decorated war hero Shaw but why. Frank Sinatra plays his commanding officer Marco, whose recurring nightmares hold the key to a pan-communist plot against America. Steeped in a cold war paranoia that seems to bring out the main characters in cold sweats, it’s also a sly oedipal tale, with Shaw’s mother (Angela Lansbury) intent on involving her son in his senator stepfather’s rise to power.
