Self Esteem at 6 Music Festival 2022
12.15am, BBC Two
As anyone who found themselves in a crowd of fellow sobbing fans while watching Self Esteem at Glastonbury 2022 (ahem) will testify, this recording of her live show at this year’s 6 Music festival is well worth staying up late for. The Mercury prize-nominated artist performs hit after hit, including I Do This All the Time and Fucking Wizardry. It’s a form of prioritising pleasure. Hollie Richardson

Piano Greats at the BBC
9.15pm, BBC Two
A programme to tickle the fancy of the BBC’s resident pianist Jools Holland (who features) as the archives are mined for the best ivory tinklers of the pop era. Performances range from the fiercely visceral (Little Richard) to the tasteful (Ray Charles), while Lady Gaga brings things right up to date. Phil Harrison
Film choice
Emancipation, Apple TV+
Antoine Fuqua’s tense historical thriller is based on the true story of an escaped Louisiana slave, whose photograph showing his scarred back became a key document in the abolitionist movement of the mid-1800s. Will Smith is impressively fierce and focused as Peter, who hears of Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation after being taken from his family to work on a Confederate railroad. He flees into the alligator-infested swamp, pursued by Ben Foster’s scout, using his wits to get him through a war zone to the Union army. With washed-out imagery – save for occasional vivid splashes of fire or blood – there’s nothing picturesque here; just the horrors of slavery and war. Simon Wardell
