David Bowie: Finding Fame
9pm, BBC Two
“He wasn’t lost; he just wasn’t found,” comments Bowie’s former muse Hermione Farthingale on his pre-fame years. This feature-length documentary about his formative influences traces the steps of how this clever young “jack the lad” with a Tony Newley fixation finally broke big. Superb, and often very funny. Ali Catterall
Safe Harbour
9pm, BBC Four
We all rolled our eyes when the ghost of Jim Robinson appeared in a Christmas bauble on Neighbours recently, but this beautifully shot yet morally murky four-parter ably demonstrates the real quality and ambition of current Aussie TV drama. The climactic double bill burrows even deeper into exactly what happened five years ago on an ill-fated yachting trip that entwined the lives of middle-class Brisbanites and a group of desperate refugees; submerged secrets bubble up into anger and violence in the present day. Graeme Virtue
The Voice UK
8pm, ITV
Comfortably eclipsing primetime rival The Greatest Dancer in the ratings, it seems a very long time ago that The Voice was regarded as something of a flop among the many TV talent contests. Here, it enters the penultimate set of blind auditions, with some more unseen hopefuls seeking to get in under the wire before the Battle stage begins in two weeks’ time. Gwilym Mumford
Drain the Ocean: Egypt’s Lost Wonders
9pm, Channel 5

Having explored second world war wrecks and doomed steamships, this week the series looks at the Nile and the “mega-forts” lying at its bottom. GM

Film choice
Stand By Me, 9pm, True Movies
Working from Stephen King’s rite-of-passage story, Rob Reiner created a classic Huck Finn-ish adventure in a 50s US backwater. Four pals are trekking through the woods one summer in search of a corpse; they are captured perfectly on the point of adolescence, between innocence and experience. Paul Howlett
