The Centenary Of The Battle Of The Somme
7am, BBC1
One hundred years ago today, nearly 20,000 British soldiers were killed, and twice that many again wounded, on the first day of a battle that haunts history as a symbol of hubristic, profligate waste of life. Zero Hour at 7am marks the start of the first-world-war battle, with Huw Edwards reporting from Thiepval, northern France, and Kirsty Young from Westminster Abbey. Followed at 9.15am by coverage of the memorial service. Andrew Mueller
Gogglesprogs
8pm, Channel 4
The junior version of Gogglebox, in which young viewers watch TV shows, current news items and classic films, continues. This week, the youngsters have to grapple with Simply Nigella, The Lion King and Made In Chelsea. We look forward to the children’s blistering honesty on such subjects as doe-eyed foodie gurning, and the eerie glossiness and vapidity of some of those who work, rest and play in SW3.

Dicte – Crime Reporter
9pm, More4
Walter – he who curates and presents the Channel 4 Euro drama strand – certainly has eclectic taste. As much lowbrow as high, he’s served to liberate perceptions of subtitled TV as the sole preserve of melancholic policemen. Duly, the Danish Dicte isn’t noir but vaguely trashy: a combination of bed-hopping, explosions and mild suspense. Tonight, a puff piece on mayoral candidate Francesca Olsen takes a surprising turn.

Mock The Week
10pm, BBC2
The 15th series of the panel show perennial continues. With the hardcore crew reduced to just Dara Ó Briain and team captain Hugh Dennis, the combative atmosphere of previous seasons has receded even further. If the flurry of punchlines used to feel like comedic mixed martial arts, now there is more of a swingball vibe. Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Ed Gamble, Zoe Lyons and Rhys James are the guests putting topical events through the wringer in search of zingers. Graeme Virtue
The Last Leg
10pm, Channel 4
Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker continue their eighth series. Last week they had their plates overflowing, after the EU referendum result, so this week’s instalment will doubtless be dealing with the fallout/relief, depending on how our nation of economic experts has decided to determine our collective future. Additionally, viewers can get stuff off their chests using the #isitok hashtag too, always something of an added bonus. Ben Arnold
The Graham Norton Show
10.35pm, BBC1
Norton introduces some of his favourite moments from the past 14 shows in this series closer, featuring the usual roster of A-listers; the likes of Helen Mirren, Russell Crowe and Samuel L Jackson. Given his guests’ extraordinary willingness to bare their souls and more, we may well be treated again to Dame Joan Collins opening up about her late sister or Hugh Grant breezily revealing how many of his leading ladies couldn’t stand him.

Trailblazers: Electronic Music
9pm, Sky Arts
Sky Arts’ all-encompassing documentary strand sets its focus on the world of bleeps, whirrs and moody folk standing behind synthesizers. How the genre – which now dominates the charts more than ever before – developed through the 1970s and 80s is thoroughly explored, featuring talking-head contributions from synth jockey-turned-stunt pilot Gary Numan, alongside Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys from OMD.

Regression
(Alejandro Amenábar, 2015)
12.50pm, 11.30pm, Sky Movies Premiere
A less successful exploration of the supernatural from the director of the creepy The Others. Emma Watson stars as a teenage girl in a 1990 Minnesota town who is apparently the victim of satanic ritual abuse; Ethan Hawke’s decent cop and David Thewlis’s psychologist investigate. But it’s a very long way from Rosemary’s Baby, and rather wastes a fine cast. Paul Howlett
Taxi Driver
(Martin Scorsese, 1976)
12.40am, Film4
The definitive Scorsese movie, this potent drama charts a descent into the abyss of a squalid New York. Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle is one of his finest incarnations, a taxi driver seemingly inured to the seamy underworld around him until involvement with a teen hooker – stunningly played by Jodie Foster – sparks extreme violence. From the fun of “You talkin’ to me?” in the mirror to Mohican-haired menace, De Niro exudes a demonic force. PH
