Eric Burdon: Rock’n’Roll – Animal
9.30pm, BBC Four

Singer with the influential Newcastle beat band the Animals, Eric Burdon is credited with inspiring Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run and an entire generation of class-conscious rock. Now living in the Nevada desert, Burdon recounts his tumultuous career from young heartthrob to discovering Jimi Hendrix and then being shunned by the industry owing to his drinking and temper, leaving him broke in the 70s. Featuring testimony from Sting and Steven Van Zandt. Ammar Kalia

Our Coast
8.30pm, BBC Two

Now on the series’ home strait, Mehreen Baig ditches boats for air travel, hitching a ride with a former RAF fighter pilot whose new mission involves documenting coastline pollution. The view is more picturesque for Adrian Chiles in Portpatrick harbour, where he meets a community that has bought into its own regeneration. Ellen E Jones
