Factual: Correspondent 6.45pm BBC2
The west trumpeted the victory of the moderates in February's Iranian elections but the new government is not likely to stay flavour of the month for long. It is set to renew calls for the withdrawal of US and allied forces from the Gulf and this report reminds us why, examining the US's covert war with Iran during the eighties. It investigates how a US warship shot down an Iranian Airbus on a flight to Dubai killing 290 passengers in 1988. It seems the USS Vincennes fired two missiles at the passenger aircraft in the belief it was being attacked by an Iranian fighter. Six months later when a terrorist bomb brought down Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, some speculated it may have been a revenge attack. (GE)

Music: Isaac Hayes: Soul Man 10.40pm BBC2
Can you dig it? Isaac Hayes, who created the Shaft soundtrack, has a new generation of fans who know him as the voice (and model) for Chef in South Park. But as this entertaining profile underlines, their parents remember him as a bald-headed, bearded, Moses of African-American music. Beginning in the cottonfields of Tennessee, Hayes takes us on the long road from his poverty-stricken childhood in the forties through his songwriting (for Sam and Dave among others) to his involvement in the civil-rights movement and, later, black pride. For anyone who loves the music, it's a fascinating story, illuminated by Hayes's own views and those of contributors including James Brown, Dionne Warwick and Puff Daddy.
