Michelle de Swarte’s semi-autobiographical take on her materialist former life is a gleeful romp. Plus: war arrives in Westeros – and how! Here’s what to watch this evening

10pm, BBC TwoModel turned standup comic and actor Michelle de Swarte is a naturally magnetic performer (she was excellent in 2022’s horror comedy The Baby), so this is a very exciting writer/director/star debut. Inspired by De Swarte’s real life, Spent follows Mia, a model pushing 40 who flees the US after declaring bankruptcy because, after growing up with nothing, she cannot resist the finer things in life. She returns to Brixton, where her friends and family don’t exactly welcome her with open arms and her agent (Peepshow’s Super Hans actor, Matt King) only has one gig for her – dog sitting.

10pm, BBC TwoModel turned standup comic and actor Michelle de Swarte is a naturally magnetic performer (she was excellent in 2022’s horror comedy The Baby), so this is a very exciting writer/director/star debut.

She returns to Brixton, where her friends and family don’t exactly welcome her with open arms and her agent (Peepshow’s Super Hans actor, Matt King) only has one gig for her – dog sitting.

It picks up 24 hours after Catherine (Elle Fanning) realised she hadn’t killed her husband, Peter III (Nicholas Hoult) – she accidentally murdered his double, Pugachev, instead.

In Cornwall, 76-year-old Ros has spent decades searching for the baby daughter she was forced to give up as a teenager; while in west London, Tegan wants her long-lost little brother to know he was always loved.

Last week, Ser Criston (Fabien Frankel) set off with his army, while Daemon (Matt Smith) conquered Harrenhal and Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) sent off her little ones.

Escape Room, a surprise 2019 hit, had a premise so good you wondered why nobody had thought of it before: “Saw, but with more attractive people and fewer liquidised pig intestines.” A sequel was inevitable.
