Channel 4's schedule tonight includes Richard E Grant's Very Modern Odyssey, a travelogue in which the actor visits Mediterranean locations linked to Homer's epic, drawing on a fascination with the text he has held since he was 18. The programme reflects a wave of celebrity travel documentaries prompted by renewed public interest in The Odyssey following Christopher Nolan's forthcoming film adaptation, with Grant's first stop being Malta.

Elsewhere, ITV1 airs the second episode of nature series Force of Nature, narrated by Andrew Lincoln, following a platypus through mating and hatching before a flash flood threatens her eggs, while Van Der Valk returns with Marc Warren investigating a hit on a whistleblower. Other picks include The Piano's visit to London Bridge station on Channel 4, a BBC Four programme on great Proms violin solos, a Sky Documentaries series revisiting the Ellie Williams grooming case, and the 1952 classic Singin' in the Rain as the film choice. The Hundred cricket also features live on BBC Two.
