Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – Horror Channel – 9pm
With two movies from filmmaker Kenneth Branagh now in cinemas – Belfast and Death on the Nile – perhaps now is the time to revisit his take on the classic horror novel.

Taken 3 – Film4 – 9pm
The last and probably worst Taken movie.
Magnum Force – Turner Classic Movies – 9pm

Get Carter – Turner Classic Movies – 11.35pm
Our pick for tonight, this ’70s crime thriller sees cold-blooded London gangster Jack Carter (Michael Caine) travel to Newcastle to investigate after his brother dies under mysterious circumstances.
