LATER 25TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT Today, BBC2, 9pm
I STILL still picture Jools Holland as the cigar-chomping keyboard player with Squeeze, probably the greatest British rock group of the last 40 years. Since the early Nineties, he has become better known as a TV host who accompanies his guests in boogiewoogie piano. This two-hour special from the Royal Albert Hall features a stellar line-up including Van Morrison, Foo Fighters, Paul Weller, Dizzee Rascal and Gregory Porter.
THE CHILD IN TIME Tomorrow, BBC1, 9pm
THIS BBC-produced film is adapted from Ian McEwan’s awardwinning novel. Children’s author Stephen Lewis’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) fouryear-old daughter is abducted from a supermarket and the strain of it all costs him his marriage. He is kept going by regular evenings with his friends Charles and Thelma. But when they buy a house in the country their motives for moving ‘transpire to be much darker and more complex than they had initially led Stephen to believe’.
ACCEPTABLE RISK Tomorrow, RTÉ1, 9.30pm
THIS six-part thriller, set in Dublin and Montreal, sounds promising. Sarah Manning (Elaine Cassidy) looks like a typical grieving widow when her husband is murdered during a business trip. But Detective Sergeant Emer Byrne (Angeline Ball) is convinced that it is ‘not a straightforward case and Sarah is not an innocent as she seems’.
AN ART LOVERS’ GUIDE Wednesday, BBC4, 8pm
ART historians Janina Ramirez and Alastair Sooke kick off this series by looking at Amsterdam’s aesthetic delights. The next two episodes will see them visit Barcelona and St Petersburg.
