Sporting pick: Tottenham v Hearts, ITV4, 7.15pm

5-0 up from the play-off round first-leg fixture, Spurs are virtually guaranteed their place in the Europa League group stages – even if they field their under-14 side tonight. Kick-off is at 8.00pm.

Movie choice: A Beautiful Mind, BBC One, 11.35pm

Biopic of the brilliant American mathematician John Nash, whose prospects of a promising career with the CIA were confounded by paranoid delusions and schizophrenia, as the stress of the job proved too much of a burden. Oscar-winning drama most of us have seen but could certainly watch a second or third thime, starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Judd Hirsch, Paul Bettany and Christopher Plummer.
