Madonna returned to the iconic Koko venue in Camden, north London, for a world-exclusive interview with superfan Graham Norton, airing on BBC One at 10.40pm. The intimate chat marks her comeback with the new album Confessions II and sees her reflect on her early days, her relationship with the UK, and this next chapter.

St Denis Medical Season Finale
BBC One's St Denis Medical at 11.30pm concludes its second season. Joyce hosts a ceremony to open the hospital's new and unfortunately named White Women's Birthing Centre, while doctor Ron undergoes an operation. The medical mockumentary is more solid than its graveyard slot might indicate.
