The Deuce
10.20pm, Sky Atlantic

After three seasons, David Simon’s saga of the American sex trade bows out with sorrow and style. Abby and world’s worst brothel owner Bobby sell up, while others stick around.

Film choice

Waterloo (Sergei Bondarchuk, 1970), 1.30pm, TCM Movies
This epic 1970 reconstruction, by Sergei Bondarchuk, of the momentous battle stars the superb Rod Steiger as Napoleon, twitching between genius commander and raging bully, and finally meeting his match in Christopher Plummer’s coolly aloof Wellington. The finale is a stunning hour-long set piece. Paul Howlett
