Garbo: Where Did You Go? (Lorna Tucker, 2024), 9pm, Sky Arts Lorna Tucker, who directed Westwood:

Punk, Icon, Activist, delves into the life of another grand cultural figure in this beguiling documentary. From a childhood in a Stockholm slum to becoming the most famous female star in Hollywood, Greta Garbo’s upward trajectory was giddy – but the film suggests that she lost a part of her soul along the way. Using her own letters, plus contemporary news stories and interviews, a picture emerges of a reluctant celebrity who really did just want to be alone. Simon Wardell
