Ken Burns 's series tracing the history of jazz, narrated by Keith David , continues with tonight's double bill.
Risk. The postwar years bring prosperity to America, but Cold War threatens nuclear annihilation. In jazz, this underlying tension is reflected in the broken rhythms of bebop and the troubled life of its biggest star Charlie
"Bird" Parker. Meanwhile, audiences swoon over a new singer-Frank Sinatra. (S)
8.00 Irresistible. Visionary pianist Thelonius Monk infuses his music with his own eccentricity, while John Lewis and his Modern Jazz Quartet refine bebop's balance, while the new mellow sound of cool jazz emerges and Miles Davis unveils his own innovative musical direction.
The series continues on Monday at 11.20pm (S)

In this instalment of the repeated series focusing on the 1970s, cult cartoon characters Roobarb and Custard tell the story of the year when they made their TV debut. Using new animation from creator Bob Godfrey and narration by Richard Briers, the show features Roobarb introducing the stars of 1974, from The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, to the Wombles and dancing sensations Pans People. Other delights from the year include freeze-dried food, early computer game Pong and the rise of the Ford Capri MK2, the patron car of Essex.
