Hatton, 9.00pm, Sky Documentaries
Streaming on NOW
This is billed as a definitive portrait of Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton - a pretty unique, working-class hero, and a hugely popular boxer.
The documentary, which features access to the man himself as well as previously unseen archive footage, charts his impressive journey.
He went from the Hattersley estate near Manchester to headlining on the strip in Las Vegas and this promises to be an emotional insight into a brilliant but flawed sporting hero.
The documentary also showcases this cautionary tale and inspirational story of a man forced to navigate a path through fragile relationships and broken dreams as he attempts to make sense of a life that appeared destined for a happy ending.

Classic Movies: The Story of The Third Man, 8.00pm, Sky Arts
In this six-part series, critics and cinephiles dissect the stories behind half-a-dozen of cinema’s most iconic and acclaimed films.
It begins with Carol Reed’s film noir classic starring Orson Welles, The Third Man. Considered by many to be a near-perfect work with its instantly recognisable zither-based soundtrack by Anton Karas, a great cast and a stellar script by Graham Greene.
The film follows American writer Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) as he chases his old friend and agent of corruption Harry Lime (Welles) through the ruins of a divided post-war Vienna.
Graham Greene may have provided the superbly witty screenplay, but its most iconic moment is thanks to Orson Welles, who delivers his career defining (and self-penned) ‘cuckoo clock’ speech aboard the Wiener Riesenrad.
