The Peter Sheridan-directed Peter O'Toole: Along the Sky Road to Aqaba lands on Sky, Champions League Live features Manchester City and Bayern Munich, and there's Channel 4's contentious Naked Education . . .

Pick of the Day

Peter O’Toole: Along the Sky Road to Aqaba, 10.00pm, Sky Arts

Streaming on NOW

This documentary looks pretty unmissable.

Directed by Jim Sheridan, it’s about legendary actor Peter O’Toole who brought a touch of danger to his art and a stroke of madness to his life yet inspired a generation of movie makers.

Reflecting O’Toole's theatrical legacy, this film is structured into four acts each introduced by a quote about O’Toole that encapsulates his life during a specific period.

Each act expands into a holistic narrative addressing questions such as his self-belief, his alcoholism, his relationships with women, his belief in socialism and his selective embrace of Irishness.

While O’Toole's words (gleaned from hundreds of hours of archival interviews) act as a narrator of his own journey, Jim Sheridan further explores the story through interviews with O’Toole’s family, artists, actors and directors that knew him well.

Champions League Live, 7.30pm, RTÉ2

Streaming on RTÉ Player

The quarter-final coverage begins with Manchester City v Bayern Munich (KO 8.00pm).

Darragh Maloney (below) presents all the action from the first-leg tie at Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

The English club thrashed Bayern's compatriots RB Leipzig 8-1 on aggregate in the previous round, with Erling Haaland scoring five goals in a 7-0 second-leg victory at this venue.

But Bayern, who eliminated Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16, should prove to be a different proposition, even though they recently parted company with manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Plus, there are highlights from tonight’s other quarter-final game, in Lisbon between Benfica and Inter.

Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr, 8.00pm, BBC One

In the quarter-final of the competition the designers are split into teams of two to makeover two wooden lodges used as wedding accommodation on the banks of Rutland Water in the East Midlands.

Obviously that will ultimately depend on impressing interiors guru Michelle Ogundehin and guest judge Shayne Brady in order to secure a place in the semi-final.
