Wicked: One Wonderful Night
8pm, Sky Max
A glitzy warm-up for Wicked superfans ahead of the second film’s release next week, with this pink and green bonanza recorded live at the Dolby theatre in Los Angeles. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the (somewhat exhausting) near two-hour special with performances, a sneak peek at two new songs, special guests, behind-the-scenes footage and a celebration of the Broadway original. Phew! Hollie Richardson

Rhodes: once a luxe holiday spot for ancient Romans, who loved to chill out beside the Colossus or wander its mystical grottos, fishing for water nymphs. Bettany Hughes traces their sandalled footsteps, en route exploring the legacy of the Knights of St John and highlighting the story of the heroic Turkish consul who rescued many Jewish families here in the Nazi era.

This year’s festival marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the second world war with performances from Rod Stewart, Blessing Offor and Sam Ryder.

Girlbands Forever
9pm, BBC Two
Sugababes were the cool cucumbers of 00s pop with a canon of timeless bangers – as well as famous for their rotating lineup. In the last part of this series, Heidi Range and their former manager Ron Tom explain what was really going on. Then, it’s the era of The X Factor, Little Mix and social media – not, as Perrie Edwards recalls, a very healthy blend for anyone involved. HR
