91st Academy Awards
1am, Sky Cinema Oscars
Ever since it lost its original host, Kevin Hart, the 91st Academy Awards ceremony has been in trouble. Organisers have flip-flopped over a series of unpopular innovations and watched, helpless, as scandal threatened to engulf some of the best picture nominees. Anything short of total disaster on the night will now be considered a triumph. All of which augurs well for those of us watching from home. Grab some popcorn and settle in for the shambles! Ellen E Jones
Baptiste
9pm, BBC One
Writers Jack and Harry Williams ratchet up the tension tonight in a chilling chapter of their new detective drama, as ponderous Englishman Edward Stratton’s “niece” Natalie warns Baptiste: “He’s not what you think he is – not at all.” Cue a journey into the twilight world of sex trafficking, dark obsession and bodies in the basement. Mike Bradley
Africa With Ade Adepitan
9pm, BBC Two
Adepitan brings down the curtain on his series in southern Africa, travelling from the beaches of Mozambique, through South Africa and on to Zimbabwe. Along the way he encounters fears surrounding disability, the growing influence of the Chinese, and a worrying new form of apartheid. MB
Traitors
9pm, Channel 4
This intriguing, wholly relevant drama set in the aftermath of the second world war continues to twist and turn. Rowe’s driver Jackson dares to voice his suspicions about Feef, while Garrick takes an interest in her protege. On the global front, trouble is brewing – and the British are meddling – in the Middle East. David Stubbs
Pappano’s Greatest Arias
9pm, BBC Four
Conductor and music director of the Royal Opera House Antonio Pappano treats us to an enthusiastic explanation of the evolution of the operatic aria: the visceral expression of emotion that emerged 400 years ago in Italy. From Monteverdi to Mark Anthony Turnage, it proves inclusive and unsnobbish. Mike Bradley
Still Game
9pm, BBC Scotland
One of the highlights of tonight’s launch of the new BBC Scotland channel is the return of Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill’s gleefully uncouth senior sitcom. As the final series begins, codgers Jack and Victor belatedly get mobile phones after their pal Winston becomes an online hit. Martin Compston guest stars. Graeme Virtue
Film choice
Marguerite, 10pm, BBC Four
Meryl Streep starred in the more celebrated biopic of Florence Foster Jenkins, but Catherine Frot is a force to be reckoned with in Xavier Giannoli’s account, inspired by the off-key singer. The voice of the 1920s wannabe diva Marguerite is awful, but there’s something magnificent in the way she follows her star. Paul Howlett
