In tonight's Horizon: How to Build a Time Machine, scientists consider how humans of the future could potentially travel backwards and forwards in time; as Mark Gatiss notes in his voiceover, this is “science at the very edge of its speculative frontier”.
Meanwhile, at 11.15pm on BBC One, The Voice in my Head follows three people with mental illnesses who hear voices.
Tonight’s best film recommendation is Alien: Resurrection (1997) on FilmFour at 10.45pm. Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley returns as a clone 200 years after the action of Alien, with revolting extraterrestrials still stalking their human prey. “If this is your cup of slime, this jauntily gruesome installment won't disappoint,” says Newsweek.
