The Glastonbury Experience Live

8.30pm, BBC Two

It is sobering to remember that we should have been celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Glastonbury festival this weekend. But the BBC will be doing its best to keep our spirits up with a flurry of repurposed Worthy Farm archive footage. First, a compilation of unseen material from performers including the Rolling Stones, Lizzo and PJ Harvey. And across the weekend, look out for Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Oasis, Arthur Lee and Love, Elbow and many more. Phil Harrison

Jamie’s Quick and Easy Food

8pm, Channel 4

You’re never more than 10ft away from Jamie Oliver when watching TV, as this new show – hot on the heels of his lockdown rationing specials Keep Cooking and Carry On – proves. He kicks off with a speedy lamb curry, a harissa squash salad and pesto pasta with, you guessed it, a twist. Hannah J Davies

Celebrity Snoop Dogs

8.30pm, Channel 4

Most TV creatives will have grappled with ways of creating new content in lockdown and this series is one of the most endearingly daft. Kevin McCloud narrates as pooches rigged up with cameras wander their homes in search of treats. But can you guess the identities of their celebrity owners? PH

Kermode and Mayo’s Home Entertainment Service

8.30pm, BBC Four

This extension to the Kermode-Mayo empire finishes its initial run by offering another batch of useful steers through the jungle of streaming content. Although induced by lockdown, the comfy bonhomie between the hosts suggests the format could easily return. Graeme Virtue

The Other One

9pm, BBC One

The bonds of sisterhood remain strong in Holly Walsh and Pippa Brown’s sitcom. Even across the class divide and through the stress of moving house. Cathy (Ellie White) politely puts up with Marilyn’s (Siobhan Finneran) endless sexual TMI, but teaching Cat (Lauren Socha) to ride a bike? Ellen E Jones

My Brilliant Friend

9pm, Sky Atlantic

Season two of the beautifully realised adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels continues. Tonight, a party in the neighbourhood reveals that Lila and Elena are living increasingly separate lives. But the pair continue to haunt each other’s thoughts, and Lila comes up with a solution that brings them together. PH
