Doctor Who (BBC1, 6.50pm)

THE Tardis lands on the clifftops of west Wales. In the village pub, Y Pren Marw, the villagers live in fear of a scroll bearing the legend “Rest in peace, Mad Jack”. They also warn of something or someone known as the Spiteful One who moves through the gaps in the world.

Can the Doctor and his sidekick Ruby get to the bottom of what’s happening? Afterwards, Doctor Who Unleashed (BBC Three, 7.35pm) shows viewers how the latest episode was made, before Ncuti Gatwa describes what it’s like to take on the iconic role of the Time Lord in Becoming The Doctor (8.05pm).

Athletics: Diamond League: Eugene (BBC3, 9pm)

WITH the Olympics now just under 10 weeks away, the world’s best athletes will be looking to strengthen their form as the Prefontaine Classic, the fifth meeting of the season, takes place at Hayward Field in Oregon. Two world records fell at this venue last year, with Swedish superstar Armand Duplantis setting a mark of 6.23m in the men’s pole vault and Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia clocking 14:00.21 in the women’s 5000m. Meanwhile, Norwegian middle and long-distance runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen also produced two excellent performances to win the men’s mile and 3000m races.

Rebus (BBC1, 9.25pm)

THE gritty drama following the young Detective Sergeant John Rebus continues. Under pressure to close their investigation quickly, John and Siobhan track down a witness to the street attack on Jimmy McJagger.

Meanwhile, as previously hard-up Michael shares his newfound wealth, his actions lead to bloody consequences for his brother John, who faces a fatal confrontation. Rhona weighs a life-changing offer for her daughter Sammy, and John is perturbed when his enquiries lead him uncomfortably close to home, and he has to confess to having contact with criminal Cafferty.

Saving Private Ryan (C4, 9.25pm)

STEVEN Spielberg’s acclaimed Second World War drama tells the story of a platoon of American soldiers (led by Tom

Hanks) following orders to scour the battlefields of France in search of a missing infantryman, the titular Private Ryan (Matt Damon), who has been granted permission to return home on compassionate grounds.

Spielberg is a true modernday master of film and it came as no surprise when Saving Private Ryan scooped five Oscars in 1999. The opening scenes depicting the Normandy invasion are harrowing to say the very least and are among the most realistic ever made. This superb film is capped off by some impressive performances from Hanks, Damon, Tom Sizemore, Ed Burns and Jeremy Davies.
