To mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2025, this powerful documentary tells the story of Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the only surviving member of the women’s orchestra at Auschwitz. Now 99, she reveals how, when she arrived at the camp, a chance mention that she played the cello saved her life, as she was allowed to join one of the camp’s 14 orchestras. “Music was played to the most terrible things,” she recalls – including the lullabies sung to comfort children as they entered the gas chambers, while Anita herself recalls the hideous irony of playing Robert Schumann’s Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood) to infamous camp doctor Josef Mengele.
Alison Hammond’s Florida Unpacked
6.30pm, BBC Two
Hammond and her 19-year-old son Aidan are apparently veteran visitors to Florida’s theme parks and hotels. In this new 10-part series, however, the exuberant Bake Off presenter and her more laid-back offspring want to explore the Sunshine State in a campervan – or “recreational vehicle” as they are known to the multitude of RV-drivers roaming the US. The first stop is Silver Springs State Park, where kayaking is on the agenda.
7pm, BBC One
Eighty years after the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, survivors and VIPs attend a commemoration to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, using music, readings and personal testimony to remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust and other victims of Nazi persecution. It also pays tribute to those murdered in the genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina 30 years ago and in other more recent genocides. With cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the Countess of Wessex’s String Orchestra and Rob Rinder, while Reeta Chakrabarti presents.

8pm, Channel 4
Jamie Oliver’s latest batch of budget recipes include a mushroom soup that uses discounted vegetables now perhaps a little past their best. He also shows how useful a bit of planning can be, making ingredients stretch over two meals by serving up ham hock and parsley sauce, then turning the leftovers into an appealing teardrop gnocchi later in the week.
9pm, BBC One
Here’s something a bit different from the 28-year-old forensics drama – an airborne thriller. Nikki (Emilia Fox) is flying home from Mumbai after giving a conference speech in the Indian megapolis when one of her fellow business-class passengers (played by Steve Oram) is taken ill. Being the only medically trained passenger on board the aircraft, she is called to assist the stricken man. Was he suffering from a virus or has something more sinister occurred? Back in London, boss Harriet does nothing to alleviate Jack’s concern, even after revealing she once performed a post-mortem on a parrot while in Mumbai.

“Dad, it’s me… I think I’ve just killed someone.” Yes, things are going from bad to worse for farmer Nathan (Martin Clunes) and his misguided son Johnny (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) as this involving crime drama continues.
