Billy Monger’s Big Red Nose Day Challenge

9pm, BBC One

It’s fair to describe racing driver Billy Monger’s 140-mile challenge as a gruelling one.

Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood, 1992) 9pm, TCM Movies
Clint Eastwood’s Will Munny, a gunman turned pig farmer, is tempted to do one last job. He sets out for Big Whiskey, where brutal Sheriff Daggett (Gene Hackman) rules with an iron fist. It’s a harsh, brooding western that questions the old myths and the genre itself. Paul Howlett
