Pick of the night: Film - The Hoax, RTE1, 9.35pm.

Drama, based on the true story of Clifford Irving, a struggling author who, in the early 1970s, managed to convince a publisher that Howard Hughes had personally hired him as a biographer. Banking on the reclusive billionaire being too publicity shy to contradict his claims, Irving offered the rights to the book for a million dollars. But keeping up the deception demanded an ever more complex web of lies. With Richard Gere, Alfred Molina, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden.
