Pete Doherty: Stranger in My Own Skin

9pm, Sky Documentaries

Following his strange encounter with Louis Theroux, here is a feature documentary about Pete Doherty created by his film-maker wife Katia de Vidas. She started to record the singer-songwriter when they first met a decade ago, and it follows him from his darkest hours to attempting sobriety. We see him start a family then head back on tour and into the studio with the band that catapulted him into the spotlight, the Libertines. Hollie Richardson

Film choice

Full Time, 9pm, BBC Four

Laure Calamy is probably best known to British audiences as office gossip Noémie in Call My Agent. With that in mind, she is nothing short of a total revelation in Éric Gravel’s 2021 drama. Calamy plays a newly single mother who teeters on the edge of nervous exhaustion as she ricochets around the city fulfilling a frenetic daily schedule to keep her head above the water. There’s work, there’s a general strike to navigate, there are children to keep happy, there’s a job interview to attend. Relentlessly naturalistic in tone, this is a masterful panic attack of a film.

Roland Emmerich has made a career out of terrorising the world. In Independence Day it was aliens. In The Day After Tomorrow it was an ice age. In 2012 it was variously earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and mega-tsunamis. However, these were mere warm-ups for the bananas Moonfall, in which Earth discovers that the moon is a) hollow, b) a military electromagnetic pulse device designed billions of years ago to fend off an alien swarm, and c) wildly off its orbit. There are few words to describe how relentlessly stupid Moonfall is – and that’s a compliment. SH
