Dame Vera Lynn: Happy 100th Birthday
9pm, BBC2
From her teenage days on the East End working men’s club circuit to entertaining British troops in Burma and becoming the oldest living artist to have a UK No 1 album, Dame Vera has had a remarkable career. This necessarily nostalgic tribute combines gentle armchair promptings of the almost-centenarian by her daughter with archival footage and interviews with Sirs Macca and Barry Humphries, plus emotional veterans.

Britain at War: Imperial War Museums at 100
7.30pm, BBC2
The establishment of the Imperial War Museums while the first world war raged seems an act of extraordinary optimism, a belief that such barbarism would surely be consigned to history. A century later, the exhibits have kept coming to the extent that IWM has expanded to five sites. Simon Weston introduces this terrific film, in which an assortment of guests (Kate Adie, Al Murray and more) each reflect on a particular item in the collection. Andrew Mueller

This week, Gogglebox personality and I’m A Celebrity… winner Scarlett Moffatt is teaming up with mini light-entertainment kings Little Ant and Dec for some host-ribbing fun.

Follow the Money
9pm, BBC4
With both well-made and improvised plans going awry, events are getting complicated as the Danish financial drama continues. For Claudia, this means dealing with the increasingly erratic behaviour of coke fiend – and apparent manic-depressive – Amanda. Elsewhere, Alf and Mads have a new boss and a new lead, and Nicky finds the step up to being an A-list enforcer is fraught with peril. A much more assured and tightly plotted series than first time around. Jonathan Wright
Walking the Amazon
9pm, Quest
The intrepid Ed Stafford heads off on a quest to become the first person to walk the entire length of the Amazon river. It’s a sturdy task, which finds him starting his 4,500-mile journey in Peru with chum Luke and their native guide Oswaldo. But things come to something of a head three months in, when his travelling partners get mutinous at the prospect of traversing a dangerous area known for drug trafficking and Ed contemplates going it alone. Ben Arnold
Discovering: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
7pm, Sky Arts
We’re riding on the Baby Boomer Express… a profile of the revered country-rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, all of whose members had the remarkable good fortune not to picked off by the performance-enhanced Grim Reaper last year (especially Crosby; that’s some good going). Neil Young gets an extra, separate documentary all of his own, too, with music critics exploring the life and times of the impossibly influential Canuck. Ali Catterall

Lucy, (Luc Besson, 2014), 9pm, Channel 4
With its trashy concept, assured action and ferocious heroine, this is like a return to his Nikita days for Luc Besson. Scarlett Johansson makes the most of her Avengers workouts as Lucy, who ingests a weird new narcotic and can suddenly access phenomenal cerebral powers: messing with time and the cosmos, terminating drug dealers – that sort of thing. Paul Howlett
True Grit, (Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, 2010), 10.45pm, BBC2
The Coen brothers’ remake of True Grit is darker, more complex and more satisfying than the rightly admired John Wayne original. It returns the feisty teen hero of Charles Portis’s novel – Hailee Steinfeld’s Mattie – to the centre, her inner strength, intelligence and resolve driving drunken marshal Rooster Cogburn and upright Texas ranger LaBoeuf (Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon, both excellent) to avenge her father’s murder. It’s a sombre, wintry western, shot with fine gallows humour. Paul Howlett
My Brother the Devil, (Sally El Hosaini, 2012), 12.10am, BBC1
Initially, director-writer Sally El Hosaini’s highly promising debut feels overly familiar, with James Floyd and Fady Elsayed as Rashid and Mo, the sons of an Egyptian-born bus driver who get involved in east London gangs and drug dealing. But the action heads off in an unexpected direction in this energetic, street-smart drama. Paul Howlett
