Soul America, 9.30pm, BBC4
Part two of the docuseries about soul music focuses on the late 1960s and early '70s, a period when inequality, poverty and racism fanned the flames of radical black politics and resulted in a harder soul sound.
Stax Records went from being a label built around an integrated house band to becoming a black-centric business spearheaded by Isaac Hayes’ expansive, flamboyant soul symphonies.
Meanwhile, the Temptations tackled socially aware subjects such as the Detroit riot and absent fathers, while over at Tamla Motown Marvin Gaye conceived the epic What’s Going On.

The Romantics and Us with Simon Schama, 9.00pm, BBC2
The historian Simon Schama (above) explores the enduring and powerful legacy the Romantics have left on the modern world.
In this episode, Schama explores how Romantic artists created the secular icons of the modern democratic age, whose power continues to inspire the passions of revolt to this day.
He considers the elixir of rebellion and the idea - so powerful in the words and images of William Blake - that imaginative passion can conquer mechanical logic and can create an art for the people.
With contributions from actors Harriet Walter and Christopher Eccleston, hip-hop artist Testament and the French street artist PBoy.
23 Cases, 9.00pm, More4
The first episode of this six-part German crime drama (original title: 23 Morde) will be broadcast this evening, with the whole box then released on All4.
The public breathes a sigh of relief when serial killer Maximillian Rapp finally confesses to 23 brutal murders.
But something doesn’t add up for Detective Tara Scholl (Shadi Hedayati). She and her lover/colleague Henry Kloss suspect Rapp is innocent of at least three of the murders to which he confessed.

Justified, All4
In 2010, a modern western crime drama inspired by Elmore Leonard’s novel Fire in the Hole began airing in the US. It was an instant hit. After six seasons comprising of 78 episodes, it came to an end, leaving fans bereft.
Shown on TG4 in Ireland, it enjoyed a cult status here.

It all begins after Givens is banished to the region in which he grew up after shooting a mobster in Miami.
