Tonight's TV highlights

Phil Collins: Going Back 9.35am, Sky Arts 1 A live performance of Collins's new album, recorded at New York's Roseland. Going Back is a collection of the Motown hits that soundtracked Collins's childhood. While there's no doubting his sincerity or the chops of his backing group – the Funk Brothers, who played on the original versions of these songs – there is cause to wonder what Collins can bring to My Girl that the Temptations didn't. AM Rastamouse 4.40pm, CBeebies Based on the books by Genevieve Webster and Michael De Souza, this new series for preschoolers, but probably parents too, follows the crime-fighting capers of Rastamouse (voiced by Reggie Yates) and his friends Scratchy and Zoomer, AKA the Easy Crew. Mouseland's president, Wensley Dale, calls on the Easy Crew whenever things go wrong, and the laid-back, guitar-playing, skateboarding Rastamouse teaches kids that redemption, not retribution, is the best way to deal with their problems. RN Horizon: The Secret World of Pain 9pm, BBC2 Pain – we try to avoid it, but it's essential for our survival. The mysterious sensation provides warnings when there is danger or something wrong with the body. This film looks at those with strange afflictions or relationships to pain, such as the Tuscan family where three generations don't feel extremes of temperature or pain, the London woman who has never felt pain, and a man forced to cut off his arm to survive after it was caught in a furnace. MS One Born Every Minute 9pm, Channel 4 This fly-on-the-maternity-ward-wall show is compelling viewing, almost in spite of itself. However miraculous and happy the outcome, childbirth is still a byword for pain and worry, so it's testament to the filming and editing that it manages to capture great warmth and incidental detail among all the dilation and other drama. Tonight, Amelia wonders if her partner will sleep off his hangover to attend the birth, while singing teacher Lucy makes it look easy once she's got her iPod and the promise of a burger afterwards. JR Episodes 10pm, BBC2 Beverly and Sean continue to bicker over the vile Americanisation of their show tonight as the "Pucks" pilot continues filming. They're called out on a late-night rescue mission when a sozzled Matt is stranded and surrounded by the paps. Tonight's episode is mostly a three-hander between its stars and, despite their more-than-adequate performances, a certain flatness pervades. This should be brilliant, particularly with Greig and Mangan involved, but the writing isn't quite smart enough to warrant moving this slowly. JNR Storyville: Meet the Climate Sceptics 10pm, BBC4 Despite – or because of – the scientific consensus that man-made global warming is a tangible hazard, a fringe of vociferous opinion holds that the danger has been massively overstated; that global warming is an environmental equivalent of the millennium bug. Rupert Murray's film introduces leading climate change sceptics, attempting to understand their arguments and motivations – are they misguided, are they opportunists, or do they have a point? Their cause is possibly not aided by having as spokesman the hereditary peer Christopher Monckton, who recently needed to be told to stop referring to himself as a member of the House of Lords. AM
