There are several royal family-related shows – ranging from Charles R: The Making of a Monarch to Frankie Boyle's Farewell to the Monarchy – more Kin, and the finale of David Copperfield . . .
Pick of the Day
Charles R: The Making of a Monarch, 8.00pm, BBC One
I'm as much against the concept of monarchy as anyone – I mean, it’s just a nonsense in this day and age – but this could be an interesting watch.
It’s the story of Charles III's more than seven decades as heir to the British throne, using archive material drawn from newsreels, home movies, interviews and documentaries.
He reflects on his formative years from life at home with his family, his singular education, early experiences as a fledgling working royal, his time in the military and the roots of the many passions and causes that have been a feature of his time as Prince of Wales.
Frankie Boyle’s show at 10pm on Channel 4 (see below) should be quite a contrast.
Don’t Miss
Frankie Boyle's Farewell to the Monarchy, 10.00pm, Channel 4
The Scottish comedian takes a look back at the darker side of the British royal family's 1000-year history. It's far from a fairytale.
Naturally, he wonders how generations of land-grabbing, child-murdering, wife-beheading, slave-trading, misogyny, violence and empire-building have shaped the royal soap opera of today.
Frankie looks back to the reigns of six key monarchs who not only had huge influence in their day, but still live long in the collective British memory - and finds troubling connections between their grim past and the present.
Kin, 9.30pm, RTÉ One
Streaming on RTÉ Player
The chaos created by Bren reaches its peak and the Kinsellas are driven to mayhem, while the Turks sew their own discord.

New or Returning Shows
The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, 8.00pm, Channel 4
The charity version of the popular baking show returns for a fourth run - and with Noel Fielding on paternity leave, Matt Lucas (below) is presenting on his own.
In previous editions, comedian Tom Allen has stepped in to co-present - but today he is showing off his baking skills as one of the contestants, alongside Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, comedian Rob Beckett and singer Alexandra Burke.
To impress Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, the celebrities serve up millionaire shortbread, a fruity tart and their pet hates in cake form in the showstopper.
The Windsors Coronation Special, 9.00pm, Channel 4
This is a one-off special of the sitcom, in which Charles prepares to finally ascend to the throne with all the pomp and ceremony he deserves.
Meanwhile, Wills tries to persuade him the ceremony should reflect the frugal times the nation is living through.
Meanwhile in California, Harry and Meghan are finally free of Windsor family politics to concentrate on their simple life. But can they really afford to miss the crowning moment?
Here's a reminder of what the show's like:
Hijacked: Flight 73, 7.00pm, Sky Documentaries & NOW
This epic new feature documentary tells the story of one of the most shocking hijackings of all time.
In 1986, Pan Am Flight 73 was stormed by Palestinian terrorists as it sat on the tarmac of Karachi Airport.
The 360 passengers of 14 different nationalities endured a terrifying 16-hour ordeal that resulted in 21 passengers being killed and many more injured.
Mixing drama and documentary, the film tells the story not just of the day itself, but how it led to one of the FBI’s biggest manhunts against the background of the simmering political tensions between the West and the Middle East, and an evolution in the tactics of terrorism.
Ending Today

Sunday Cinema
The Man with the Golden Gun, 6.10pm, RTÉ2
Arguably the lightest of the lighter Bond movies, starring Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland and Maud Adams. It’s an ideal way to dozily drift into a Sunday evening stupor.

The Wife, 11.15pm, BBC Two
The only time I’ve seen Glenn Close outacted was when an amazing Rose Byrne hit home runs galore in Damages.
She’s on the top of her game here though, alongside Jonathan Pryce and Max Irons.
Successful writer Joe Castleman (Pryce) is delighted to receive an early morning telephone call from Sweden informing him that he has won this year's Nobel Prize in Literature.
His steadfast wife Joan (Close) is equally delighted, but as she prepares to travel to Stockholm to support and encourage her husband, she reflects on her life from.
She looks back to when she first met Joe, her married literature tutor with whom she embarks on the affair which would change the course of their lives.
