The poster for In the Heat of the Night, our TV movie pick for this evening

In the Heat of the Night - BBC Two - 11pm
Last but not least is our pick for tonight - this '60s crime thriller mystery from director Norman Jewison (And Justice For All, Moonstruck, Rollerball).

It revolves around a black Philadelphia police detective named Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) who is mistakenly suspected of a local murder while passing through a racially hostile Mississippi town. After being cleared of the killing, Tibbs is reluctantly asked by the town's police chief (Rod Steiger) to investigate the case.

Winning five Oscars upon release - including Best Picture, Best Actor for Steiger and Best Adapted Screenplay - In the Heat of the Night's blend of murder mystery and social commentary was highly influential, with its powerful story still resonating decades later.

In the Heat of the Night is also available to rent on Apple TV and Google Play. You can check out its trailer right here:
