Set in the 70s, Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon return as Navajo police team Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. This time, they\u2019re looking for a runaway school student, while a killer is also on a search of her own. Hollie Richardson <\/p>\n<p>Strictly Come Dancing: Icons Week<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">6.15pm, BBC One <\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Celine Dion! Shania Twain! Ricky Martin! David Bowie! It can only be icons week. Poor Melanie and Alja\u017e won\u2019t be around to take on Bonnie Tyler as planned, and Delta is sitting it out with an injury. But Cach and Maddie will take on the foxtrot, while Lacey and Vito glide to the American Smooth and John and Katya get serious with a paso. HR<\/p>\n<p>Talking Pictures: World Cinema Classics<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9pm, BBC Four <\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Celia Imrie returns to celebrate international films, starting with Akira Kurosawa\u2019s Ran, which Christopher Nolan showed to his team when making blockbuster The Odyssey. Imrie also looks at the works of directors Agn\u00e8s Varda, Francois Truffaut, Luis Bu\u00f1uel and Ingmar Bergman. HR<\/p>\n<p>Marble Hall Murders<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9.20pm, BBC One <\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Can Lesley Manville do any wrong? It\u2019s certainly hard to believe \u2013 unless you\u2019re a character in her literary mystery show. In episode four, book editor Susan (Manville) is woken by police to be informed that she\u2019s the prime suspect for a hit and run on her author Eliot (Jamie Blackley). Can she prove her innocence? Alexi Duggins<\/p>\n<p>Saturday Night Live UK<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">10pm, Sky One <\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Not exactly a noted gag merchant (considering his roles in Happy Valley and A Little Life), James Norton takes the hosting roulette this week. But unlike its US counterpart, SNL UK has not misfired yet thanks to stunningly sharp writing, so expectations are high. The Streets will be the musical guest. Priya Elan<\/p>\n<p>Krapopolis<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">11.45pm, BBC Three<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Richard Ayoade voices a fusspot king trying to modernise his ancient Greek city in this daft but zinger-packed animated comedy from Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon. This marathon of six episodes includes a trip to Hades, a melancholy hydra and divine voice cameos from Susan Sarandon and Steve Buscemi.

Photograph: Apple<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">To Edmund Hillary (Tom Hiddleston) and British expedition leader Col John Hunt (Willem Dafoe), it was \u2018Mount Everest\u2019, named to honour a 19th-century British Raj official. But Tenzing Norgay (Genden Phuntsok), the Tibetan-Indian mountaineer who joined them on that historic 1953 trek to the summit, called the peak by its Sherpa name Chomolungma, meaning \u201choly mother\u201d. To Tenzing, the mountain is not so much somewhere to conquer but someone to connect with. As director Jennifer Peedom\u2019s film tells his story, it scales the heights of the adventure biopic, discovering new angles from which to view old themes of ambition, colonialism and class. Ellen E Jones <\/p>\n<p>Cl\u00e9o from 5 to 7<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Saturday, 9.45pm, BBC Four <\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The plot of this 1962, Agn\u00e8s Varda-directed classic is deceptively simple: as she awaits the results of a cancer biopsy, Florence (Corinne Marchand), a singer known professionally as \u2018Cl\u00e9o Victoire\u2019, wanders around Paris, meeting old friends and strangers, getting tarot readings or going to the cinema; alternating between despair, resignation and a kind of ecstasy. Yet each encounter, and even the apparent longueurs in between, vibrates with the life-affirming energy of the French New Wave, a movement busily reinventing the form before our very eyes.

Photograph: ScreenProd\/Photononstop\/Alamy<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">It\u2019s the greatest mafia film of all time. The Sopranos\u2019 archetype. Martin Scorsese\u2019s masterpiece of masterpieces, and a film you should rewatch every few years just to recalibrate your cinematic senses. Ray Liotta stars as Henry Hill, an Irish-Italian kid from round the way, and an \u201caverage nobody\u201d, according to his iconic voiceover. That is, until he gets mixed up with wiseguys Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro), Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and Paulie (Paul Sorvino), who teach him their code and show him the only way to live.
