Strictly Come Dancing: Celebrating BBC 100
6.40pm, BBC One
It’s a BBC centenary extravaganza tonight. James Bye, who plays Martin Fowler in EastEnders, will dance the foxtrot with Amy Dowden to the soap’s theme tune. Helen Skelton and Gorka Márquez, meanwhile, will do a charleston to the Blue Peter music. Watch to see the lucky pair dancing to … err, Casualty’s opening titles! Hollie Richardson
Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel
5.40pm, BBC One
Mr Marmite himself is back with his big wheel of celebrities and their chosen subjects to help contestants win big cash. Kicking off the series, tonight’s game has Anton Du Beke on musicals, Josie Gibson on the West Country, Iain Stirling on Love Island, Kadeena Cox on athletics, Nigel Ng on Asian food, Tony Blackburn on rock’n’roll and Emma Barnett on women. Except, the first spin sees Emma needing to help answer a question on Iain’s subject – a reality show she’s never seen before. HR
Gogglebox

Wisting

Phil Harrison
Later – With Jools Holland

Hipster dads in their 40s are well catered for as Holland welcomes Suede – whose rocked-up ninth album, Autofiction, regularly sounds like the Fall – and Hot Chip as headliners. They’re flanked by Billy Nomates, previously a Sleaford Mods collaborator but now solo, and two Later newbies: cellist Abel Selaocoe and singer-songwriter Debbie. Jack Seale

Queen of Katwe, 10am, BBC Two
Chess has long been used in fiction as a metaphor for life – The Queen’s Gambit being the most recent example – and in Mira Nair’s compelling fact-based drama it is set against the hard-scrabble reality of growing up in a slum in Kampala, Uganda. Ten-year-old Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) has a prodigious talent for the game and, under the guidance of teacher Robert (David Oyelowo), gets a glimpse of the opportunities success could bring. But is that a realistic prospect, when her mother (Lupita Nyong’o) is struggling to keep the family afloat? Simon Wardell
Wendell & Wild, out now, Netflix
Coraline creator Henry Selick’s penchant for the morbid side of life is given free rein in this highly entertaining animated fantasy, with the assistance of Jordan Peele as co-writer and voice actor. Lyric Ross plays Kat, rebellious 13-year-old orphan and, it transpires, “hell maiden” to the titular demons (Keegan-Michael Key and Peele, bringing all their comic double act skills into play). The duo are desperate to get to the land of the living, and Kat is to be their conduit. A refreshingly modern take on its fairytale set-up added to Selick’s eye for exquisite detail makes repeat viewing all but essential. SW
