Strictly Come Dancing
6.40pm, BBC One
And so, after all the unwelcome headlines of the past week, Strictly seeks to draw eyeballs back towards the dancefloor as the remaining couples perform Latin and ballroom routines.

Black Hollywood: “They’ve Gotta Have Us”
9pm, BBC Two
Simon Frederick retains the elegantly lit interview set-up of his previous series Black Is the New Black for this stirring history of black artists in cinema, starting with those who fought for the first seats at Hollywood’s top table. Harry Belafonte and Diahann Carroll discuss their roles in groundbreakers Carmen Jones and Claudine, Sidney Poitier’s trailblazing is lauded, and Laurence Fishburne leads an appreciation of Spike Lee. Other interviewees include Barry Jenkins and David Oyelowo. Jack Seale

Snowfall
10.45pm, BBC Two
Perilous times for Franklin tonight. Tied up in a basement and menaced by Teddy with a cattle prod, he’s forced into some quick thinking. Teddy’s brother Matt seems more easygoing, but is it wise to employ a man who drinks while flying for a drug-running operation? Plus, a turf war turns ugly. DS
