TV tonight: conducting thrills in Philharmonia

Philharmonia

11.15pm, Channel 4

A professional symphony orchestra might not seem like your typical backdrop for a psychological thriller but this new French drama proves otherwise. When the conductor of a Paris orchestra suddenly dies, uncompromising conductor Hélène (Marie-Sophie Ferdane) is called back to France after 20 years conducting in New York – and she soon begins to ruffle feathers with her methods: namely, replacing the principal violin with a young upstart, as her old demons begin to rear their heads.

3pm, BBC One

Another dive into the archive as the BBC does its best to fill the sport-shaped hole in our lives.

Two Sisters, One Body

Dave

10pm, BBC Two

A double bill of Dave, the sitcom from American rapper and comedian Dave Burd. Tonight, Emma’s car is broken into, and Elz becomes a babysitter to try to impress Trippie Redd. Meanwhile, Dave presents himself as the next Kanye West (“but white”) or Eminem (“except I’m a sweet man”) during a pitch to music execs. Ali Catterall

Dracula By Northern Ballet

10pm, BBC Four

Stranger fangs: David Nixon created a sensuous adaptation of Bram Stoker’s gothic tale in 1999, not long before the Canadian choreographer became artistic director at Northern Ballet. This revival under his auspices, which was in cinemas last year and stars Javier Torres, remains bloody good fun. Graeme Virtue

Billy Elliot, 10.30pm, BBC One

Stephen Daldry’s warmhearted tale of a northern lad’s search for self-expression is a sort of musical Kes. Jamie Bell is 11-year-old Billy, who wants to swap his boxing gloves for ballet shoes. Set against the grim background of the 80s miners’ strike, it is nevertheless full of infectious fun and energy. Paul Howlett
