Pick of the Day
Glastonbury night on BBC 2 and BBC Four
There's a weekend of music on the BBC to coincide with what would’ve been this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Glastonbury in the 90s, 9.00pm, BBC Two
This is the story of the Glastonbury festival during the 1990s, arguably the festival's redefining decade.

The Producers, 10.35pm, BBC One
Last night it was Blazing Saddles - now here’s another Mel Brooks classic and arguably his finest film. It's certainly a work of genius.
Zero Mostel stars as Max Bialystock a crooked, smalltime Broadway producer and Gene Wilder plays his neurotic accountant, Leopold Bloom.
Together they hatch a plan where they can make a fortune by putting on a play that closes on opening night, then pocketing the unspent budget from oversubscribed investors.
The duo set out to put on the worst show of all time - a tasteless toe-tapper called Springtime for Hitler, written by a deranged, pigeon-loving, former Nazi.
The Best of The Late Late Show, 9.35pm, RTÉ One
This week’s highlights from the recent run include appearances by Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, Nicola Coughlan, Jane Fonda, Conan O'Brien and Adam King (below).

In the final film of this series of current affairs documentaries, Seyi Rhodes reports on the migrants being beaten back from the European Union by border guards on the notorious Balkan Route.
A once-welcoming Europe is now closing its doors, and Serbia has become a bottleneck for thousands of people trying to get through the increasingly hostile route.
Rhodes meets beaten and bruised men trying to leave Serbia, and witnesses the families living in government camps too frightened to make the journey.
He also hears how the animosity is fueling a small but growing right-wing political movement.
