Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and Kate Adie: In Conversation
7.30pm, BBC4
Before a live audience at the Wales Millennium Centre, veteran BBC journalist Kate Adie interviews the contest’s patron, Kiwi soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. The focus is properly on Te Kanawa’s extraordinary career, from talent-show winner in New Zealand to performing in the great opera houses of the world, but the two women discover that they have more in common than you might think. Previously shown on BBC2 Wales as part of the coverage of the competition. Andrew Mueller
Conspiracy: The Lord Lucan Dossier
8pm, Channel 5
As long as there is a vague possibility that Richard John Bingham, the seventh earl of Lucan, is still alive, the conspiracy theories will trundle on. The career gambler disappeared following the murder of his children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, in 1974, leading to supposed sightings of him around the world. Some say he successfully evaded justice, while others believe he, too, was murdered. Other cases in this series include those of Jimmy Hoffa, and the kidnap and shocking murder of aviator Charles Lindbergh’s son. Ben Arnold
Rock’n’Roll America
9pm, BBC4
This new miniseries looking at the birth of rock’n’roll begins calmly enough in (very white) 1950s suburbia, before veering sharp left into a scene that would draw multiracial crowds in this incendiary era. “Send all the negroes back to the Congo,” musician-producer Allen Toussaint recalls hearing a protester shout. “All except Fats Domino.” On the horizon: Chuck Berry and Elvis, whose private parts, according to guitarist Scotty Moore, very noticeably jiggled in his pants when he waggled his hips, hence all the screaming.

Big Brother: Live Eviction
9pm, Channel 5
This year’s Big Brother has been so full of surprises that no one would have batted an eyelid if Sinitta rocked up dressed in her legendary palm-leaf bikini for the show’s recent 80s-themed stretch. Alas, tonight sees another live eviction in which Emma Willis has the thankless job of extracting gossip from the latest housemate to be given the boot. This bunch weren’t the easiest to love, but throwing in old favourites like Nikki “who IS she?” Grahame has made BB a lot more watchable. Hannah Verdier
The Legacy
9pm, Sky Arts
This fine Danish series about a family overshadowed by a vanished anti-matriarch – an artist whose eccentric life and legacy impact on her children long after she has died – continues to unravel pleasingly. Tonight, Emil is back at Grønnegaard following a stint in a Thai prison, full of vows to keep his nose clean. Signe receives a very nice review of her artwork – could she, of all the offspring, be following in her artist-mother’s footsteps? – but is forced to re-evaluate her life after a visit from an inspector to her farm.

Artsnight
11pm, BBC2
“There is no more sombre enemy of good art than the pram in the hall,” thundered cheery-sounding critic Cyril Connolly. Actor and model Lily Cole helms this edition of BBC2’s perky arts magazine, taking Connolly’s dictum as the starting point of an examination of the effects of procreation on creativity. Cole, who is pregnant herself, will be examining the work of sculptor (and mother of four) Barbara Hepworth and hearing from novelist Lionel Shriver, who extols the virtues of childlessness.

The Diary of Anne Frank: A Tale of Two Sisters
9pm, Yesterday
The story of Eva Schloss has many parallels with that of Anne Frank. She also went into hiding in Amsterdam, and was betrayed. But while Anne died at Bergen-Belsen, Schloss and her mother survived Auschwitz, as did Anne’s father, Otto. Subsequently, her mother and Otto married. In a moving tribute, Schloss shares her memories of the person who would have been her stepsister. The documentary also tells the story of the Franks’ time in hiding and details how Anne’s writing came to be widely known. Jonathan Wright
