Stewart Copeland’s Adventures in Music
9.30pm, BBC Four
The former Police drummer dissects his six-decade-long fascination with music in this three-part series. This part tackles how music has the power to unify, from the release of oxytocin while listening to vocalist Bobby McFerrin’s belief in innate musicality and the DJ Honey Dijon’s channelling of “shamanic sexual energy” during her club sets. Copeland is an affable and enthusiastic host, even enlisting his old bandmate/rival Sting for a chat. Ammar Kalia
