"They were forcing medications on her. This is about the right to refuse." Sony Pictures has debuted a new official trailer for an indie drama titled 55 Steps, telling the true story of a woman named Eleanor Riese, a mental illness patient who brought a class action suit to give competent mental patients the right to have a say in their medication while they're in a hospital. The current title, 55 Steps, is a reference to the amount of steps in the hallway at the hospital. The film has also gone under the title of Eleanor & Colette in other countries.

Harry at 30: ITV, 8pm
The fourth in line for the throne hits the big three-oh later this month, and this documentary takes a look back at Prince Harry's tumultuous life thus far. The hour-long special examines the popular red-headed royal with new insight gained from interviews with friends, military colleagues, royal correspondents, and... Joss Stone.
Though it promises to cover the scandals (weed smoking, Nazi uniform and strip billiards among them), the programme will also follow Harry's current project: setting up an Olympics-style sports tournament for wounded soldiers.
In the Club: BBC One, 9pm
In the penultimate episode of the gripping antenatal drama, Jasmin (Taj Atwal) is in labour and in doubt over the father of her unborn child. Whether it's Dev (Sacha Dhawan) or Jack (Will Tudor), the baby's skin colour will soon reveal all.
Meanwhile, Kim (Katherine Parkinson) tries to patch things up with Susie...
