It’s BBC Two’s diamond anniversary. To celebrate, this mammoth programme (just under four hours long) is a compilation of 60 songs performed on the channel over the past 60 years. Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, the Rolling Stones, Stormzy and Blondie are all on the menu. Hollie Richardson
In With a Shout
6.30pm, ITV1
It may not be quite as joyous as host Joel Dommett’s other hosting gig, The Masked Singer, but there’s fun to be had with the return of the gameshow in which family teams shout answers at a screen. “Think fast, but shout faster” is the rule. HR
Bettany Hughes’ Treasures of the World
7pm, Channel 4

Our Dream Farm With Matt Baker
8pm, Channel 4
The National Trust’s search for the next tenants of the Wallington Estate in Northumberland has so far seen the applicants deal with lambs and beavers – but now it’s time to get to business. Matt Baker will test the would-be residents at the local market, where they’ll have to sell, sell, sell. HR
Wisting
9pm, BBC Four
In the concluding double bill of the Norwegian crime drama, the hunt for the kidnappers has turned into a race against time after a surveillance operation goes horribly wrong. But to make sense of the present, lugubrious cop William Wisting needs to address the case’s historical roots. PH
Traces
9.15pm, BBC One
It has been a choppy second season for the Scottish CSI-alike, losing key cast members and lathering up some soapy romance. But there is still a creepy guy planting pipe bombs in Dundee on the loose. So is now really the time for the counter-terrorism unit to remove forensic expert Sarah (Laura Fraser) from the case? Graeme Virtue
Film choice
D.O.A., 6am, Talking Pictures TV
A man walks into a police station. “I want to report a murder.” “Who was murdered?” “I was.” So begins Rudolph Maté’s relentless thriller, starring Edmond O’Brien as small-town accountant Frank, surreptitiously given a fast-acting incurable poison while on a holiday in San Francisco and racing against time to discover the identity of his killer. O’Brien is a convincing ladies’ man turned Philip Marlowe-style sleuth, with his increasingly sweaty, desperate hunt taking him from jazz bar to swish apartment to warehouse shootout. Simon Wardell
Phil Spector, 4.30am, Sky Cinema Greats
With its hefty factual disclaimer at the start, David Mamet’s 2013 drama about music producer Phil Spector’s 2007 trial for the murder of Lana Clarkson is more concerned with the pros and cons of fame than actual guilt or innocence. Playing the outlandishly bewigged Spector, Al Pacino delivers Mamet’s reams of dialogue with relish – either grandstanding or touchingly vulnerable as he rails against detractors past and present – with Helen Mirren’s more measured Linda Kenney Baden both defence counsel and confidante.
