Today's top TV and streaming picks: Live Aid at 40, Die Hard 2 and Heads of State

Live Aid at 40: When Rock 'n' Roll Took on the World BBC Two, 9pm & 10pm Did you watch Live Aid? If so, the fact that it's approaching 40 years since the charity concerts took place in London and Philadelphia is probably making you feel a little old. Nevertheless, it's still a cultural touchstone of the era for those of us who did tune in, and probably always will be. Plenty of charity concerts have taken place since that heady day in July 1985, but few have proved to be as impactful or entertaining. And now there's a chance to look back at it courtesy of a new three-part documentary, the first two episodes of which are airing this Sunday. It begins with Bob Geldof getting together with Midge Ure to write Band Aid's star-studded Do They Know It's Christmas? single after being moved by footage Ethiopia's hunger crisis on the evening news. The record's incredible success catapults Geldof into the complex world of aid, charity and African politics but, undaunted, it also inspires him and Ure to organise two massive gigs on opposite sides of the Atlantic, with Phil Collins appearing at both and David Bowie and Queen delivering remarkable, show-stealing performances. Geldof, Ure, Bono and Sting are among the interviewees, as is Birhan Woldu, the Ethiopian woman who, as a child, became the concert's abiding image. And if the programmes make you want to relive it all, you're in luck — the UK concert is being re-screened on Saturday, July 12. The Sunday Game Live RTÉ2, 1.15pm Joanne Cantwell is at Croke Park, where the All Ireland hurling semi-final between Kilkenny and Tipperary is set to take place. The match is immediately followed by a camogie quarter-final. All Creatures Great and Small RTÉ One, 6.30pm The rural drama inspired by James Herriot's books begins its fifth season. It's 1941 and Britain is at war, so Mrs Hall and Helen consider how they can contribute. Countryfile BBC Two, 7.05pm ADVERTISEMENT Learn more In the first of four special editions focusing on multi-generational farming families, Adam Henson travels to Leicestershire, where the Egglestons explain how their traditional methods are helping to keep their dairy business alive. Jimmy Doherty's Big Bear Rescue Channel 4, 8pm The farmer's latest series follows his efforts to relocate two polar bears from their current home in Sweden, which is about to be closed down, to his wildlife park in Suffolk. As viewers will see, it turns out to be a far from simple task. London Has Fallen RTÉ One, 9.30pm The second entry in the Has Fallen franchise follows Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) as he tries to protect US President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) from a terrorist threat while he's in London to attend the British prime minister's funeral. Die Hard 2 BBC One, 10.30pm Action thriller in which cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is up to his neck in trouble again, this time because terrorists have taken control of an airport terminal. Bonnie Bedelia and William Sadler co-star. All The Sharks Netflix, streaming now If you're wondering, 'Why all the shark-related viewing of late?' Well, the simple answer is that we're currently in the run-up to July 14, which is Shark Awareness Day. This summer also happens to be the 50th anniversary of Jaws, so one should expect an inordinate level of shark-themed programming over the coming weeks. A lot of it, however, does seem somewhat at odds with itself. For instance, last week saw the release of Shark Whisperer, which featured a herd of conservationists expressing concern about people, like Instagrammer Ocean Ramsey, interfering with endangered sharks. Now, Netflix is proffering an almost oxymoronic competition show, where conservationists infiltrate the oceans to tick all the sharks off their assigned apex predator bingo cards. If you favour more traditional shark viewing — ie. without a nigh-dystopic gameshow element — Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory lands on Disney+ today. Heads of State Prime Video, streaming now Have you ever considered a parallel universe where Idris Elba is the UK prime minister and John Cena is the US president? Well, now's your chance! For context, their 'special relationship' is under threat on account of their huge egos, but — once confronted with a common adversary — the pair must learn to rely on each other.
