Pick of the Day
Stormy, 9.00pm, Virgin Media One
Here’s a documentary that should have you thanking your lucky stars you weren’t born in the USA.
It follows the story of the unlikely American icon Stormy Daniels, who reflects on receiving a secret payment as an incentive to stay quiet about a certain encounter with the former US President, Donald Trump.
She shares her experience of the fallout she's faced over the years and the ways she's reinvented herself, while still grappling with the bombshell that went off in her life.
The scandal involves an alleged one-night sexual encounter in 2006 between then businessman Trump and porn actress Daniels.
It subsequently led to a conspiracy on the part of Trump to cover up the story in the month prior to the 2016 US presidential election, and Trump's falsification of business records as part of the conspiracy.

She-Wolves: England's Early Queens, 9.00pm, BBC Four
Helen Castor (below) explores the role of queens in medieval and Tudor England, analysing how they evolved from being the wives of kings to powerful figures in their own right - but faced great struggles to impose their authority in a male-dominated society.
She begins by recalling the life of Matilda, the daughter of Henry I, who waged war against her cousin Stephen in the mid-12th-century in a bid to be recognised as her father's rightful successor.
The historian also charts the turbulent life of Eleanor of Aquitaine, the wife of Henry II, who played a major role in governing England during the latter half of the 12th century.
