Stevie Wonder Night

BBC2, from 8.30pm

-

You can't beat a bit of Stevie Wonder (right). The singer-songwriter born Stevland Hardaway Morris in Michigan in 1950 is simply one of the greatest performers in popular music history – so it's no surprise to find an evening dedicated to him.

It begins with Stevie Wonder At The BBC, a collection of memorable moments captured on camera by the corporatio­n.

That's followed by two live gigs. The first, A Night Of Wonder (9.30pm), was recorded by the Beeb in 1995, while the second, Live At Last (10.35pm), features songs from his two-night residency at the O2 in London during the autumn of 2008. Listen out for such memorable songs as Superstiti­on, Isn't She Lovely and My Cherie Amour.

Finally, celebrity fans including Martin Freeman and Beverley Knight share their love for his work in Stevie Wonder: A Musical History (11.30pm). ★★★★★
