1968: A Year of War, Turmoil and Beyond

10pm, Sky 1

The year in which the sanguine, idealistic hippy spirit of the previous 12 months seemed to go up in flames; one of political confrontation, with the barricades set up in Paris in May, as well as the Tet offensive in Vietnam. There were two major assassinations in 1968: Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, whose murders cast giant shadows across the prospects for a better America. This documentary examines this year of horror, turmoil and beauty in detail. David Stubbs

BBC Proms 2018

7.30pm, BBC Four

Twenty-three-year-old singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier has already collected two Grammys for his home-recorded 2016 debut LP In My Room. Here, he teams up with conductor Jules Buckley and his Metropole Orkest in a collaboration that promises new material and special guests. Mike Bradley

Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning

8pm Channel 5

More self-parodically inconsequential celeb silliness as Colin Baker, Sherrie Hewson, Todd Carty, Tony Blackburn and Sonia arrive in Askrigg, North Yorkshire. Shepherdess Alison shows them around the beautiful landscape and Tony and Sonia eat some curd tarts. Not without its daft charm. Phil Harrison

Dicte: Crime Reporter

9pm, More4

Dicte’s marriage to Bo becomes strained in the wake of his kidnap ordeal in Lebanon. Now she is sought out by Johan’s wife, who wants to know what happened the night the pair escaped from their captors – the same night her husband died. Soon Dicte has a homicide story on her hands. Electric Danish drama. MB

Stan Lee’s Lucky Man

9pm, Sky1

The drama about detective Harry Clayton and the magic bracelet that keeps him safe from harm returns. This time we’re in Hong Kong, where he encounters a new enemy who will stop at nothing to capture his lucky charm. Thrill-a-minute fare with its tongue placed firmly in its cheek. MB

The Big Narstie Show

11.05pm, Channel 4

Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan’s anarchic chemistry continues to grow as the late-night chatshow continues. Narstie’s charm means he gets away with more than most and guests hoping for an easy time promoting their latest gig get more than they bargained for. So far, they’ve been good-humoured in the face of this onslaught. Hannah Verdier

Film choice

Thor: Ragnarok 12noon, 8pm, Sky Cinema Premiere (Taika Waititi, 2017)

Chris Hemsworth’s thunder god shelves the bickering with tricky brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) to team up against sister Hela, goddess of death (Cate Blanchett), who has returned to lay waste to Asgard. It’s the humour that triumphs, director Taika Waititi seeing the funny side of the twilight of the gods. Paul Howlett
