Pick of the Day
Hemingway, 9.00pm, BBC Four
This promises to be an intimate portrait of Ernest Hemingway, considered one of the greatest American writers.
It's made by the celebrated documentary-maker Ken Burns, so it certainly comes with great expectations.
The documentary examines Hemingway's enduring influence on literature and culture and also penetrates the myths surrounding him to reveal a deeply troubled, controversial and ultimately tragic figure.
The story begins with his childhood in Illinois, his time with the Red Cross during the First World War, his marriage and his move to Paris, where he started work as a writer.
Followed at 9.50pm by Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure, a travel series where the former Monty Python star follows in the footsteps of one of his favourite writers.
Palin begins his odyssey in Spain, where he explores bullfighting in Valencia, before heading for Africa to see the spectacular Mount Kilimanjaro.

Stay safe folks. And don't lose heart.
