Arcadia
9pm, BBC Four
Paul Wright’s remarkable collage documentary uses the BFI’s collection of films of rural Britain to weave a beautiful, funny and deeply disquieting narrative that eventually amounts to an alternative national history. It’s simultaneously expressionistic and polemical, asking questions about ownership, exploitation and our vexed relationship with nature, celebrating a strain of rebel Britishness that has manifested itself in everything from folk ritual to rave culture. Portishead’s Adrian Utley and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) provide the soundtrack. Phil Harrison
