Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd
9pm, Sky Arts
“We wouldn’t have existed if it hadn’t been for Syd.” Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, along with others, tell the legacy of Syd Barrett in this trippy documentary – from his promising Cambridge upbringing to dropping out of art school to start a band that would have a comet-like rise to stardom, and the excessive drug use that led to him to exit the band for a life of solitude.

Bettany Hughes’ Treasures of the World
6.50pm, Channel 4
The ultimate in prehistoric bling? Probably a gold penis sheath. That is just one of the priceless artefacts Hughes inspects in Bulgaria, a country rich with relics of Europe’s earliest cultures. She also sees historical echoes in the present, positing a connection between ancient Mycenaean traditions and wedding rituals in the local Pomak community. Graeme Virtue
Our Dream Farm With Matt Baker
7.50pm, Channel 4

Abba: 50 Years of Pop
8.50pm, Channel 4
Much as we love them, hopefully this will be the last of TV’s Abba specials celebrating 50 years since Waterloo. The likes of Ulf Ekberg (Ace of Base), Dr Alban, Nina Persson (the Cardigans), E-Type and Benjamin Ingrosso dissect the Swedish supergroup’s success. HR
The 1% Club
8.55pm, ITV1
Play along at home with this common-sense quiz and you may discover you’re not as clever as you’d assumed. Still, host Lee Mack’s easy patter with his contestants proves there’s pride in belonging to the 99% too. This week: an avid ghost-hunter and a man with the exact same name as Mack’s grandad.

Traces
9.15pm, BBC One
The forensics drama continues, and the Dundee bomber has struck again. As it becomes clear that more attacks will happen, the pressure on the team intensifies. But is Jean hiding something? Traces makes all the right ominous, self-consciously serious noises but isn’t quite distinctive enough to stand out in a crowded field. Phil Harrison

Triangle of Sadness, out now, Netflix
Swedish film-maker Ruben Östlund has seemingly made it his life’s work to satirise the bourgeoisie – from the nuclear family in meltdown in Force Majeure to the pretentious art-world crowd of The Square. In this out-there comedy, he takes aim at the fashion industry via two models, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean). Vain, petty and insecure, the couple go on an Insta-worthy trip on a luxury yacht alongside a group of super-rich types. But they find themselves all at sea – in more ways than one – after a disastrous storm flips the power dynamic between the guests and the put-upon staff. Come for the extended vomiting scene, stay for the class war. Simon Wardell
The Lesson, 9.20am, 4pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
“Good writers borrow … The great writers steal.” These words from celebrated novelist JM Sinclair (Richard E Grant, fun to watch as ever) resonate through Alice Troughton’s sly mystery. Daryl McCormack’s would-be author Liam moves into his literary hero’s home to tutor his teenage son, under the eye of Sinclair’s wife Hèléne (a gnomic Julie Delpy). Schemes and secrets swirl around Liam, alongside debates on creativity and originality. The question of whose narrative will prevail keeps the tale simmering nicely. SW
