Beck: Without Intent, BBC4, 9pm
A 12-year-old girl goes home to help her mother prepare her birthday party, but when she arrives, finds her lying dead at the bottom of the stairs.

Plus, tension mounts in the team when former interim squad chief Steinar and his new superior Alex Beijer choose to focus on different leads.
Strictly Come Dancing, BBC1, 6.45pm
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present as the star-studded dance contest reaches its most dazzling annual milestone, with the remaining pro-celebrity duos departing from London and heading north to the Lancashire coast, where they put their skills to the test against the iconic backdrop of Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Already a glamorous affair, Strictly turns the dial up for its yearly trip to the northern resort, with even more glitzy sets and routines that push all of the performing couples to their limits.
With the grand finale only a month away, the stars once again face the scrutiny of judges Shirley Ballas, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood, before another elimination tomorrow night.
Holst and Vaughan Williams: Making Music English, BBC2, 9pm
Radio 3 regular Tom Service co-hosts this new documentary with history professor Amanda Vickery. Their aim is to learn more about the lifelong friendship between Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst, the composers whose music is often credited with creating the so-called English Sound, which began to take shape during the early part of the 20th century.
Service and Vickery’s research takes them across the country as they follow in Holst and Vaughan Williams’ footsteps, retracing the trips they made while uncovering the music that inspired them along the way, from the works of Renaissance masters to folk.
And, of course, there’s a chance to hear some of the music they produced, played by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Tonight’s line-up is completed by comedian Katherine Ryan and former Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, while there is a live musical performance by Snow Patrol.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
