Imagine: Habaneros – You Say You Want a Revolution?
9pm, BBC Two
Havana is literally falling apart. But, as Julien Temple’s film shows, that’s almost a default condition for this most turbulent of capital cities. Temple interpolates Cuba’s past and present; its myth and reality. The result is a history but an impressionistic one, implicitly emphasising that the future is unwritten and that Cuba’s violence and corruption have usually been matched by resilience and resourcefulness. Chaotic and thrilling. Part two airs tomorrow on BBC Four. Phil Harrison
Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule
7.30pm, ITV
A panel show that is almost logical once you completely accept its premise. Harry Hill presides over two teams, each tasked with saving planet Earth from alien invasion by finding clips, people or content funny enough to place in a capsule to persuade aliens that Earthlings are fun enough not to obliterate. Candice Carty-Williams
The Queen’s Birthday Party
8pm, BBC One
After standing for hours in the rain on her diamond jubilee, the Queen must by now be slightly wary of celebrating anything. This event, to mark HRH’s 92nd birthday, is at least indoors (at the Royal Albert Hall), where one will witness music from one’s subjects including Tom Jones, Alfie Boe and Sting. John Robinson
The Forest
8pm, BBC Two
Having it larch: the doc series cataloguing life in and around Galloway Forest Park in southern Scotland – the UK’s largest wooded area – continues with a busted crosscut stacker disrupting the local sawmill. Elsewhere, campsite owner James attempts to put on a comedy night. Mark Bonnar narrates. Graeme Virtue
Britain’s Most Historic Towns
8pm, Channel 4
Professor Alice Roberts visits Winchester, a town likely to prompt memories of GCSE homework. While modern developments have stymied some of the history, CGI helps restore long-lost Norman strongholds. Roberts also looks at how some once-revolutionary surgical procedures were carried out. Mark Gibbings-Jones
Salamander
9pm, BBC Four
A me-or-the-job ultimatum issued by an exasperated wife is just one of the cliches ticked off as Paul Gerardi continues to investigate a murder linked to state collusion in African corruption. Another is that cops getting too close to a conspiracy always have a headstrong teenage daughter. Jack Seale
Film choice
Predestination, 9pm, Film4
Ethan Hawke’s time-travelling agent, hunting serial killer the Fizzle Bomber in 1970 New York, meets a mysterious transgender character with a weird tale to tell – which is the precursor to an extraordinary, mindbending adventure around the “predestination paradox”. Paul Howlett
