Britpop at the BBC, 11.25pm, BBC Two
John Lennon used to maintain that nostalgia was for Sundays, so you can get ahead of the posse by 35 minutes with this welcome repeat.
A look at the vibrant form of indie music known as Britpop, which in the 1990s stamped its presence onto the UK cultural scene and led to the notion of Cool Britannia.
The movement was dominated by the battle between its biggest-selling exponents, Blur and Oasis (above), who in August 1995 did battle in a memorable bid for the number one spot in the singles’ chart.
The programme also features the bands Elastica, Sleeper, Suede and Menswear.

The Revenant, 9.40pm, RTÉ2
More of an endurance test than a movie, this masochistic western makes the rather violent The Equalizer (10pm, RTÉ One) look like a Carry On comedy in comparison. It’s tough going.

Leo plays a frontiersman leading a hunting party through the wilderness who gets mauled by a bear.
