MAD DOGS & ENGLISHMEN

TODAY, SKY ARTS, 10.15pm EVEN though Joe Cocker was reluctant to go back on the road, contractua­l obligation­s left him with little choice but to play 48 cities across America in 1970. Suffice to say the tour, which featured more than 20 musicians, was a runaway success. This twohour documentar­y features footage of Cocker – who died in 2014, aged 70 – performing covers of songs by the Beatles, the Stones, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and others, as well as his signature tune Delta Lady.

SIDE EFFECTS

TOMORROW, C4, 11pm EMILY Taylor (Rooney Mara) stars in this film about a woman who is put on antidepres­sants by her psychiatri­st (Jude Law).

The cast also includes Catherine Zeta Jones and Channing Tatum.
