Whiplash, Saturday, BBC Two, 11.20pm The dramatic possibilities of obsessions and obsessive behaviour are red meat for film-makers, particularly where the arts are concerned.

Director Damien Chazelle hit critical paydirt in 2016 when, aged 32, he became the youngest winner of the Academy Award for Best Director for the musical La Land, featuring Ryan Gosling as a Los Angeles jazz pianist struggling to make a name and a career.
