Jazz 625: The British Jazz Explosion
9pm, BBC Four
The BBC’s 1960s jazz programme returns for a one-off special celebrating the recent resurgence of the genre by a community of young Londoners, largely educated through grassroots organisations rather than conservatoire traditions. Presented by drummer Moses Boyd and DJ Jamz Supernova, the Jazz 625 studio hosts performances from saxophonist Nubya Garcia, groups Ezra Collective and Sons of Kemet, and singer Poppy Ajudha.

Icon: Music Through the Lens

Trackers
9pm, Sky Atlantic
The fast-paced South-African crime thriller continues, as ex-cop Lemmer (James Gracie) goes on the run. Meanwhile, Milla (Rolanda Marais) worries her relationship with Becker (Ed Stoppard) will compromise her standing at the PBI. It’s a familiar plot in an unfamiliar setting, slickly packaged.

Film choice
Robin and Marian (Richard Lester, 1976), 4.40pm, Film4
Lester’s wistful, elegiac account of the last days of Robin Hood is a fitting epitaph to the late Sean Connery. His aged, battle-scarred Robin returns from the Crusades to confront Robert Shaw’s sheriff of Nottingham, but it’s the outlaw’s poignant scenes with Audrey Hepburn’s Marian that make the magic.
