My Brain: After the Rupture

9pm, BBC Two
“Music was my greatest ally, and now it’s like my toxic friend.” A film following the remarkable story of Clemency Burton-Hill, who was 38 years old when a brain injury left her unable to speak or walk. Before that, she was a violinist who had also achieved a double first from Cambridge and had a successful career as a broadcaster and writer. Through recordings from her early days of recovery, we trace an inspiring journey as she is reunited with her “ally”, the violin. Hollie Richardson

Beyond Paradise

8pm, BBC One

A politically complicated case kicks off series three, after a Cornish local drowns in a river that is on the border between Devon and Cornwall – “it’s a question of jurisdiction”. Was it the tragic result of a drunken car accident or, as Humphrey suspects, could there be something – or someone – more calculated at work? Ali Catterall

Gardeners’ World

The clocks go forward on Sunday, and Monty Don is already planning for more gardening hours – from sowing broad beans in the veg garden to revitalising the winter-trodden lawn.

Hacks

10pm, Sky Max
With season four not far off, season three of this superlative showbiz comedy kicks off with a quadruple bill.

Jack Seale

Film choice

Jackie Chan’s Police Story (Jackie Chan, 1985), 6.25am, 2.05am, Sky Cinema Greats

Arguably the Hong Kong star’s greatest action film starts with the near total destruction of a shantytown then a man v doubledecker bus chase. It barely lets up from there, as our cop hero pursues a drug lord while trying to protect Brigitte Lin’s witness. There is some slapstick content (cakes do feature), but this is a more serious affair than Chan’s subsequent screen persona would suggest. The climactic fight sequence in a shopping centre is a riot of smashed glass and battered bodies, with one stunt so impressive we see it three times. Simon Wardell
