The Day Mountbatte­n Died, 9pm, BBC2

FORTY years ago, Lord Mountbatte­n, the last Viceroy of India, was murdered by the IRA when his boat was blown up off the coast of Ireland. His grandson Nicholas and 15-year-old local boy Paul Maxwell were also killed. This powerful film relives that day through the moving testimony of those it affected, and remembers a man whose memory was honoured by the naming of Prince Louis in 2018.
