The Five-Star Weekend 9pm, Sky Atlantic This glossy drama about wealthy women who head off on a girls’ weekend is the perfect chaser for anyone who raced through Two Weeks in August . After her husband dies, celebrity cook Hollis Shaw (Jennifer Garner) organises a bougie trip with four friends: the school mom, the college bestie, the sort-of sister and the fan who reached out on social media. But everyone has a secret – and one is an absolute shocker. Gemma Chan, Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall and D’Arcy Carden star. Hollie Richardson Property Brothers: Under Pressure 8pm, U&W Carin and AJ have been living in temporary accommodation since their longtime home burned down in LA’s wildfires.

Priya Elan The Chase Around the World 9pm, ITV1 Bradley’s back – along with all six preposterously monikered chasers (the Menace, the Vixen, the Beast etc) in a picture-postcard global spinoff.

Kim Novak, in Kim Novak’s Vertigo. In 1958, Kim Novak starred in one of the greatest films of all time, Vertigo, but less than a decade later she had essentially retired from acting. To illuminate a life of great highs and lows, Alexandre O Philippe’s documentary features an unusually candid interview with the then 92-year-old. She opens up about her colourful upbringing, being groomed for stardom, her fight for control of her career in a misogynistic industry – and that Hitchcock picture. Novak proves to be a bullish, witty subject, and her body of work deserves a reappraisal; to start that process, Vertigo follows straight after.
