Glastonbury in the 90s

BBC2, 9pm

For music fans, Glastonbury Festival is always special, but last year’s was set to be particularly noteworthy — it would have been 50 years since Michael Eavis first opened his farm for what was then called the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival. The festival has produced plenty classic moments over the years: The 1997 weekend went down as one of the muddiest in Glastonbury history, but it also the year that gave us what many agree was one of the festival’s greatest ever sets courtesy of Radiohead. REM at Glastonbury 1999 also feature.

Sex/Life

Netflix

Sarah Shahi plays Billie, an exhausted mother of two who lives tucked away in the suburbs with her loving, good guy husband Cooper. But she wasn't always this way. Nostalgic for her wild-child past in New York City when Billie and her best friend Sasha worked hard and played even harder, she starts writing down fantasies involving her bad-boy ex. As Billie starts to question how she ended up with such a humdrum existence, Cooper stumbles across her diary. Matters are even more complicated when the man at the centre of her raunchy writings walks straight back into her life.

Bosch

Amazon Prime

Harry Bosch has been hailed as one of the greatest-ever cops to grace the small screen. He was created by author Michael Connelly; his novels The Concrete Blonde and The Burning Room provide the basis for this seventh season. This time, Harry and sidekick Jerry Edgar join forces for the final time to tackle two tricky cases — one involves tracking down a serial killer known as The Dealmaker, while the other focuses on the murder of a mariachi performer. Titus Welliver once again takes the title role, with more than able support from Jamie Hector. A spin-off focusing on Harry's daughter Madeline is now in the pipeline.
