Super Telescope: Mission to the Edge of the Universe
8pm, BBC Two
“Be ready for a brand new universe,” says one excited expert in this Horizon film about the world’s most powerful telescope. The £8bn James Webb space telescope can look back to an era around 200m years after the big bang – when the first stars and galaxies appeared, apparently. If you can just about get your head round that, here’s the story of the extraordinary telescope told by those who built and use it. Hollie Richardson

Film choice
Florence Foster Jenkins (Stephen Frears, 2016), 11.35pm, BBC Four
“Music is my life,” opines New York social grandee Florence (Meryl Streep) in Stephen Frears’s touching, fact-based comedy-drama. Which is why, despite being tone deaf, she decides to make a record and perform a public concert. Streep is, typically, spot on as the eccentric, indulged philanthropist – even in the off-key singing – but it’s Hugh Grant as her husband, St Clair, who elicits the most pathos. Subsuming his own desires and ambitions to Florence’s, St Clair’s devotion to his wife and dedication to her schemes makes for a love story played with effortless nuance by Grant. Simon Wardell
