TV tonight: a wild French drama about first world war super-soldiers

The Sentinels is a riveting story with a sci-fi twist. Plus: who’s in the mood for some 00s’ bangers? Here’s what to watch this evening

The Sentinels

9pm, BBC Four

A riveting first world war drama with a sci-fi twist, based on a French graphic novel series. When Gabriel Ferraud (Louis Peres) is seriously wounded on the front line, he is offered a top-secret treatment in Paris that will either kill him or turn him into a “super soldier”. But how much do the Germans know about this trial? And what are the Sentinels really being created for? Hollie Richardson

Alexander Armstrong Across America

8pm, Channel 5

The Pointless presenter continues his holiday in the US. He travels from the Hoover Dam to the deserts of Utah, stopping off in Las Vegas en route. Brace yourself for tales of glitz, glam and the gambling hotspot’s underbelly of poverty. Also him goofing around on a massive rope swing. Alexi Duggins

Casualty

8.10pm, BBC One

Dylan is back in A&E having succumbed to alcohol – but can he get through a shift when he’s bilious, laden with self-loathing and suffering disturbing flashbacks? Among the patients, there’s a neat fable about facing mortality and a well-meant but slightly half-baked one about hate speech turning into real harm. Jack Seale

TOTP: Big Hits 2000

8.50pm, BBC Two

Time for an hour of some very welcome 00s bangers! Global pop icons Britney, Kylie and Destiny’s Child are in attendance, as are shiny Brit poppers S Club, Craig David and Robbie Williams. Club throwbacks come from Sonique’s Feels So Good, Black Legends’ You See the Trouble With Me and Spiller’s Groovejet. HR

TOTP: The Story of 2000

9.50pm, BBC Two

These enjoyable celebrations of Britain’s pop years take on a melancholic air as the final tranche of shows begins and TOTP approaches the end in 2006. A new millennium has arrived but much has stayed the same – boybands, specifically Westlife, are everywhere. However, the year is also notable for the arrival of a controversial rapper called Eminem. Phil Harrison

Today at Wimbledon

Film choice

Redux Redux, 6.15am, 8.25pm, Sky Cinema Premiere

In something of a family concern, brothers Kevin and Matthew McManus direct their sister Michaela in a satisfying multiverse thriller that, like all good sci-fi, is really about something else. Grief is the motor that drives Irene (Michaela, channelling the brutal self-sufficiency of Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2) to visit alternative Earths and repeatedly kill the man who murdered her teenage daughter. That is until she saves the serial killer’s next victim, care home runaway Mia (Stella Marcus), and finds her priorities changing. Simon Wardell

The Lady Eve, 11am, Film4

There can’t be many more seductive movie criminals than Barbara Stanwyck’s con artist Jean in Preston Sturges’s utterly delightful screwball comedy. Sharp, witty and flirtatious, she wraps Charles (Henry Fonda), the naive, snake-obsessed heir to a brewery empire, round her finger while on a cruise – then makes the mistake of falling in love with him. How is she to get the man she wants while keeping her grifting past hidden? Maybe another scam will work! It’s a joy to spend time in the company of the roguish Jean in a film of zippy dialogue and zany slapstick. SW
