TV tonight: things get nasty in War’s blockbuster divorce

9pm, Sky Atlantic
The naughty divorce drama – made even juicier by its casting of two huge stars, Sienna Miller and Dominic West, whose own eventful relationships have been under the press spotlight – picks up after actor Carla is served on the red carpet (inspired by a representative for Jason Sudeikis handing Olivia Wilde custody papers on stage). Things look even worse for her as eager junior solicitor Johnny starts his first day on her legal team – as a mole for her husband's side.

8pm, BBC Two

Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande

10.40pm, BBC Four

Black and white PR image of Cymande

Cult London collective Cymande were funk pioneers from the Windrush generation who found themselves marginalised in the racially charged UK of the 70s. But years after disbanding, their cosmic grooves inspired hip-hop hits in the US. This affecting film charts the group's origins, afterlife and resurgence.

Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger
With more sold-out dates next year, 90s rock blokes Oasis are sustaining the pomp and circumstance they generated with their 2025 reunion, the subject of this entertaining film. The two directors, with writer Steven Knight, document the tour from tense rehearsals to the warm glow of US acclaim – and, more interestingly, the thawing of relations between Liam and Noel Gallagher after 15 years of silence. The brothers' contrasting styles are endlessly fascinating: Liam, with his "big boy pants" on, is cocky and sharply witty, while a nervous Noel seems surprised at how well it's all going. The hatchet-burying takes a while but there's always a singalong hit to catch while you wait.

10pm, BBC Two

A woman stands with her back to a metal shuttered door that is flecked with blood stains

This is a film in which every shot is creepy. Whether it's a weird angle, shadowy lighting or just some pale yellow walls (as seen in Backrooms), there's an ever-present dread that something bad is going to happen – and it very often does. Osgood Perkins' nerve-shredding horror follows a series of crimes in which fathers murder their families, then kill themselves. Left at each scene is a letter in code, signed "Longlegs". Maika Monroe's intuitive FBI agent Lee takes the case and becomes increasingly haunted by it, while Nicolas Cage gives a suitably out-there cameo as her nemesis.
