Olympic cycling legend Chris Hoy features in a BBC One documentary tonight at 9pm, where he outlines a constructive and defiant response to his terminal cancer diagnosis. The film, titled 'Glasgow: the Tour de Four', follows Hoy as he organises a bike ride that has already smashed its £1m fundraising target for cancer charities. The programme demonstrates that a medical prognosis does not have to signal the end.
Hoy is joined by famous friends including Andy Murray and Jason Kenny, who lend their support to the ride. The documentary is described as inspiring, showing how Hoy formulates an inspirational plan to raise funds for cancer sufferers. It airs as part of BBC One's evening schedule.
Other highlights tonight include the Sports Personality of the Year ceremony at 7pm on BBC One, featuring contenders like Rory McIlroy and the Lionesses. Channel 4 at 8pm explores the new Terry's Chocolate Orange flavour of Baileys, while BBC Four at 8pm presents Monica Dolan narrating Jane Austen's 'Persuasion'. ITV1 at 8.30pm follows Steve Backshall retracing King Charles's 1975 Arctic trip.
