Satellite choice
CLASSIC ADVENTURE The African Queen, 6.50pm, Sony Classic
SHOWING as part of Humphrey Bogart day, this World War I adventure teams him with Katharine Hepburn on an old steam boat for some sizzling chemistry.
ON-DEMAND THRILLER Escape From Pretoria, Amazon Prime
TENSE and engaging thriller based on the unbelievable true story of how two white South Africans escaped from prison in 1979. One is played by a bearded Daniel Radcliffe (pictured).
MEDICAL DRAMA Chicago Med, 8pm, Sky Witness
THIS U.S. drama stirs up a lot of enjoyably soapy drama in every episode. Tonight, Manning and Crockett are flirting but denying it, while Choi is learning what it takes to be the boss — and that’s being unpopular, even with his favourite nurse, April (Yaya DaCosta, pictured).
WELSH HITS St David’s Day At The BBC, 9pm, BBC4
A MERRY new jaunt through the BBC archives in honour of the Welsh national day (on March 1). There will be music from Super Furry Animals, Manic Street Preachers, Shakin’ Stevens, Bonnie Tyler, Stereophonics, Shirley Bassey, Catatonia and Tom Jones — with more from him at 10pm.
FANTASY SAGA A Discovery Of Witches, 9pm, Sky One
WHAT is the precise nature of the book’s magic? Can Marcus forge a connection with a human? And why is Alex Kingston’s American accent so irritating? The questions swirl as this supernatural drama continues to flit across time in its story-packed second season.
HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH Bruno v Tyson, 9pm, Sky Documentaries
‘I WOULD have reigned supreme if it wasn’t for Iron Mike Tyson.’ Frank Bruno reflects on the impact of his rivalry with Tyson in Kevin Macdonald’s new documentary, which takes a wider look at these apparently opposite men, and even manages to reunite them. (Sky 114, Virgin 277)
CRIME SQUAD NCIS, 9pm, Fox
SO, NOW we know why Gibbs shot McGee and, in the aftermath of the agent’s hospitalisation, Torres and Bishop are doing without him in the field — and bickering more than usual as a result. A gunfight serves to focus the duo firmly back on the job in hand. For a while, at least . . .
FREEVIEW MOVIE Upgrade, 9pm, Film4
THIS enjoyably trashy sci-fi thriller holds together well, even if it is hammered together from all too familiar parts. Logan MarshallGreen is the technophobe who agrees to be a cyborg guinea pig after an accident kills his wife.
FILM FRIGHTS You Should Have Left, 9pm, Sky Premiere EARLY DAYS Tom Jones’ 1950s: The Decade That Made Me, 10pm, BBC4
JONES didn’t leave Wales until the early Sixties — when he was ready ‘to take on the world’ — so regards the Fifties as a formative time. His and others’ magic-tinged recollections of the post-war decade, and the rise of rock ’n’ roll near its end, make up the bulk of this film.
