 WHAT IT’S LIKE...

to be King
of the Jungle
Phil Tufnell won I’m
a Celebrity… 20 years
ago — now he’s back
for a fresh challenge

TAKING PART WAS

A NO-BRAINER
Back in 2003, I’d just retired from
cricket and was wondering what
the hell I was going to do when
I got the call from I’m a Celeb. I’d
seen the first series, won by Tony
Blackburn, and it looked like a
fantastic adventure. When they
offered to fly us to Australia first
class, it sealed the deal. We got
whisked in limos to the Palazzo
Versace hotel on the Gold Coast.
I thought, “Crikey-o-riley, this
is a bit special.”

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

WHERE YOU ARE
Before being dropped in the jungle,
you’re blindfolded. The Land Rover
windows are blacked out, you’re
driven around for a couple of hours
and lose any sense of direction,
then all of a sudden you’ve arrived.
It’s all very secretive. The nearest
town could be 500 yards or
500 miles away. There are
wild animals wandering
about and strange
noises from the bush.

TAKING ONE FOR

THE TEAM
The eating challenges are
hardest, especially if you
get witchetty grubs or
creepy-crawlies that
are still moving —
eating living creatures
is what I found
trickiest. My advice is to CORONATION DAY

DUNNY, I’M HOME
“all-star” series set
in South Africa The toilet facilities are a bit grisly.
I’ve toured all over the world and
visited a few ropey WCs in my time,
but the jungle long-drops took
some getting used to. I didn’t go for
days — must have been all the rice
and beans — and was starting to get
a little panicky. When I did finally
go, it was a mistake to look down,
but you quickly get desensitised.
BEATING THE BOREDOM
There’s lots of time to fill. You wake
up when the sun rises. You’re not
allowed to know what day it is, so
you quickly lose any sense of time.
Doing chores helps pass the hours:
collecting logs, washing the pots
and pans. I’m partial to a nap — my
nickname in my playing days was
“the Cat” because I was often
curled up in a corner of the
dressing room — so I’d nip off and
find a sunny spot for a little snooze.
THE FEAR FACTOR
Going down to the Bushtucker Trial
area gets your heart beating. You
think, “What fresh hell is this? I’m
going to get slung into a pot of
snakes.” The producers are cunning.
They find out your phobias and
make you face them. One trial in
the new series wasn’t a nice one
for me. I ended up apologising
to the animals because I was
screaming and swearing at them.
LONG LIVE THE KING
Winning the show in 2003 — what
a result that was! To this day, I still
don’t quite know why or how I won.
There wasn’t a game plan. Getting
votes from the public felt very nice.
I kept progressing and the next
thing I knew, they said, “By the way,
Phil, you’ve won.” It’s a rare honour.
When we got our international
cricket caps, I was number 547
— the 547th player to represent
England. There are only 12 Kings of
the Jungle. I’m proud to be in that
exclusive club. A big achievement.
THE SHOW CHANGED MY LIFE
The reaction took me by surprise.
You’re tucked away in Australia
with no idea what’s happening back
home. When we landed in the UK,
it was like the Rolling Stones had
walked off the plane. There were
hundreds of photographers and
reporters. People were shouting,
“All right, Phil, mate!” and patting
me on the back. My friends
explained how the show had been
getting 10 million viewers a night.
It was mind-blowing.
CARRY ON CAMPING
The new camp in South Africa
is absolutely stunning. The
landscape is gobsmacking, with
high mountains and endless skies.
The trials are testier. It all felt
bigger and grander the second
time around. I was excited to
meet my new campmates. Even
the ones I’d never met are famous
faces, so I felt like I knew them. And
we all got on. Well, in the main…
IT’S A YOUNG MAN’S GAME
It was tougher aged 56 than 36.
The mind was willing, but the body
slightly less so. There were a few
aches and pains. The old back
didn’t like sleeping in a hammock;
the knees creaked while climbing
up waterfalls. The jungle is quite
physical — even just sitting on logs
or kipping in uncomfortable places.
I DIDN’T NEED PERSUADING
TO RETURN
It’s like being asked to come back
and have a bowl against Australia
at Lord’s: I’m in! Very rarely in life
do you get the opportunity
to do fabulous things again.
I immediately said yes. It was such
an enjoyable experience, I’d do
it a third time in a heartbeat.

 TEN QUESTIONS WITH
REECE
SHEARSMITH
The co-creator of Inside No 9 reveals
why the hit show must end next year
Part black comedy, part
Tales of the Unexpected-
style anthology, BBC2’s Inside
No 9 has been quietly attracting
bigger and bigger audiences since
its debut in 2014. But in one final
twist ending, creators and stars
Reece Shearsmith and Steve
Pemberton have announced
that the show’s days are
(appropriately) numbered, with
2024’s series nine its final outing.
We caught up with Shearsmith
to find out why they didn’t want
a perfect ten, what we can expect
from the penultimate series this
year — and why the biggest twist
is the one that doesn’t exist…
What can we expect from the
new series of Inside No 9?
It’s series eight, so we had to think
about what to give our audience at
this stage. We’ve got five more stories
that are very diverse. There are scary
ones. There’s possibly our goriest one
that we’ve ever done. And then we
have slightly more reflective ones –
a bit more thoughtful. People seem
to like the ones that are not just
out-and-out silly. But then we have
some very slapstick-y ones, which
I really enjoy doing, because it’s not
something we get to do very often.
So, why are you wrapping up
the show after series nine?
Well, I think it began as a joke,
when we were getting to the sixth
and seventh series: “If we get to
nine, we’ve got to stop it at nine.”
And once they commissioned eight
and nine, we thought, “Well, we’ve
got to finish it now.” By the end,
we’ll have done 55 different stories.
It’s probably a good place to stop
8
so that we don’t end up repeating
ourselves. Hopefully we’ll maybe
be allowed to come back and do
the odd special. That would be
great. But as far as a full series,
I think that would be the last of it.
Are you glad you didn’t name
the show Inside No 13?
Ha, yes! Also, I wish we’d named
it Inside No 3. We would’ve been
done eight years ago. Why did we
even come up with nine? For a
long time, it was number 52. We’d
never have got that far, would we?
That’s Last of the Summer Wine
territory. We do want to do some
sort of live version, so it won’t feel
like it’s a completely closed chapter
yet. The No 9s are little plays.
They’re all very suited, probably,
to remounting on the stage.
Will it be a sad farewell?
I think Steve and I will both
feel strange about it completely
finishing, but we’ll continue
writing together. Something that’s
not the half-hour format – we got
very good at the 28-and-a-half-
minute beginning, middle, and
end, but it’d be nice to do
something a bit longer.
So it’s not a break-up between
you and Steve?
Yeah, we’ve not fallen out. I mean,
I haven’t. Maybe Steve’s like,
“Please, let this be the end.”
DOING THE TWIST
Steve’s not here today — Main picture: Steve
shall we say that? Pemberton (top) and

‘You just have
to dig deep’
Inside No 9 co-creator Steve Pemberton
on the art of finding stories — and guest stars
As well as its famous plot
twists, Inside No 9 has
become renowned for its
impressive array of guest stars,
with the likes of Keeley Hawes,
Sir Derek Jacobi, Emilia Fox,
Sheridan Smith, Helen McCrory,
Julie Hesmondhalgh and Adrian
Dunbar among the many actors
who have gamely signed on for
a 28-minute turn over the past
nine years.
For the penultimate series the
list of guest stars is impressive.
Joining Pemberton and
Shearsmith in this week’s first
episode are Phil Daniels and
Anita Dobson, while later stories
will feature Sherlock’s Amanda
Abbington, Gavin & Stacey’s
Mathew Horne, People Just Do
Nothing star Asim Chaudry
and comedy actor Robin Askwith
(pictured centre, above, in a
story that carries just a hint
of 70s sitcom On the Buses).
But despite the big names,
series co-creator Steve
Pemberton says that there’s no
master plan for pitching one-off
bit-parts to well-known actors.
“We often get asked about
the casting process,” says
Pemberton. “We never, ever
decide upfront as we’re writing,
‘This is a role for so and so.’
Because you don’t know who’s
going to be free when you come
to cast it. But you have your
hopes and aspirations, you start
to build up lists.”
According to both Pemberton
and Shearsmith, next year’s final
series will also “cram as many
[guest stars] in” as possible —
and with a couple of episodes
already written, the pair are
hopeful that the final stories
will live up to the expectations
of cast and audience.
“It is difficult, but it’s been
difficult since series one!”
Pemberton reveals. “We feel the
expectation, and we feel that
we want to deliver that frisson
that you get from a really
well told story.
“It seems insurmountable
when you begin the series. You
just have to dig deep. You know
you can’t run out of stories. You
just have to really rack your
brains and put a lot of time and
effort into developing your ideas.
“And yeah, we’ve got another
series to finish after this one.
So let’s hope that well hasn’t
yet run dry.” HF
finishing.” It’s the opposite.
People often ask, “Do you have
disagreements?” but we don’t
really. We do enjoy each other’s
company a lot, and I think
we’ve let go of feeling like we’re
slightly fraudulent writers.
I don’t really enjoy the writing
process. To me, that’s the
homework, and the enjoyable
bit – the reason to do it – is to
act it. Steve feels differently.
So do you prefer acting in
other people’s scripts?
It’s different. I mean, I love it,
just being an actor in someone
else’s thing. The responsibility
of delivering the show to the
world, and it being your baby, and
hoping that it’ll be perceived as a
success – the pressure of that is
much greater, because you care.
I don’t know what people think I
am; just an actor, or a person who
writes his own thing, and is in his
own thing, like a Steve Coogan or
a Julia Davis. I suppose I’m one of
those, aren’t I? But I don’t see it like
that. I just see myself as an actor,
even though the writing obviously
is a huge part of what we’ve
achieved. I always think, by
accident, I do the writing, and
that, really, I’m the actor.
When Inside No 9 does end, how
do you hope it will be remembered?
Hopefully as a show that didn’t
ever dip in quality. I think the
misconception is that it’s all about
the twist endings. It doesn’t stand
or fall, I hope, on the last 30
seconds of every 28 minutes. It’s an
adversarial game now where we try
to still do what we did three series
ago, with people [viewers] who
don’t believe anything we tell
them. They’re thinking, “Right,
OK. He’s a ghost. No, she’s not
really who she says she is.” There
are many episodes that don’t really
have a twist, and then you get
people that are disappointed. “I
wanted a massive rug pull!” Well,
there isn’t one. That’s the twist!
Well, how do you like our twist
ending? This week, we’ve only
done nine questions…
Good. That feels appropriate.

MY MUM
HAS BEEN
LET DOWN
Millions of dementia sufferers
are being unfairly treated, says HAPPIER TIMES
Susan Rae was
Susan Rae’s son Rory Cargill a familiar voice
on Radio 4

MILLIONS HAVE COME TO
know my mum, the broad-
caster Susan Rae, as the
dulcet-toned Scot who has
been a comforting presence
on the airwaves for decades.
From BBC Radio Aberdeen
through to her main home of Radio 4 for much
of her career, she co-hosted Open Air and You
and Yours, before becoming a well-known voice
on Today and the Shipping Forecast, and as
a continuity announcer across the Beeb.
Her work wasn’t always received with admira-
tion. She kept a shoebox on a living room shelf at
our old house. It was full of hate mail – which
ever seen it. Instances like this started to become
more frequent; repeated questions, uncharacter-
istic disorganisation, sudden difficulties follow-
ing instructions.
Time and again the GPs told us it was
stress-induced brain fog. It took more than a full
year of misdiagnoses, confusion and a long
delayed PET scan to receive a diagnosis: early-
onset Alzheimer’s disease. My gran – Mum’s
mum – also had Alzheimer’s and died just five
years prior to Mum’s diagnosis. The fear that we
may one day see what we saw in Gran happen to
Mum has become a reality, and it has come
decades earlier.
least that if you don’t have those things, you
automatically qualify for benefits. Mum didn’t,
as many others won’t, and the sad reality is that
even if you have any one of those things, you are
likely to struggle to meet care costs.
Mum loved to work, and she never planned
on retiring. Some might say that describes the
ideal candidate for the “work-till-you-drop”
rhetoric of the Department for Work and
Pensions – but what about those who can’t?
Despite being in the public eye, Mum has never
been financially privileged. As a family we do,
however, acknowledge the privilege that she has
a platform that others don’t. We were lucky in
that we had the option to share her story, and

became a point of pride and humour for her –
about her accent infuriatingly bringing an end to
the Cholmondley-Warner soundalikes that had
previously monopolised broadcasting.

over this. The anguish of this cruel illness is just

I remember years ago watching a Louis Ther-

Off air, Mum is exactly as she sounded on air;
bright, reassuring and a little mischievous. Her
natural aura is magnetising, so she’s never been
short of friends and admirers. As she puts it
herself, she loves broadcasting – but it’s always
been about the people.
One evening in 2020, Mum was swooning
over Hugh Grant in a documentary about his life
on TV; the second time she’d watched it in as
many weeks. I teased her that she really must
fancy him to be rewatching it so soon, but she
was adamant that this was the first time she’d
one factor in the stress it brings – as the state
help we presumed would be there, simply isn’t.
When the condition caused Mum’s work to
stop, her income fell to zero. She could no longer
broadcast live, and the BBC stopped offering her
shifts in summer 2021, when she had just turned
65. After months of applications to a fractured
and cruel benefits system, I shockingly received
the response that she is not eligible for anything
that acknowledges her condition.
There is a false assumption that everyone has
large pensions, spouses, savings, assets – or at
oux documentary that featured a woman with
early-onset Alzheimer’s. I could think of nothing
worse, but it felt like something that only
happened to other people. Around one million
people in the UK are known to have some form
of dementia and that number is growing. This is
not a rare disease. What are those without a
platform supposed to do if they get it?
On 2 April, Susan Rae talked to Paddy O’Connell about
her illness on Broadcasting House. You can hear it

Golda Rosheuvel

Now she takes on
Charlotte’s back story

INTERVIEW BY BENJI WILSON

HILE FILMING THE second
series of Netflix hit Bridg-
erton (wig the size of a
mature shrub, 20kg dress
strapped on like a bomb
disposal suit), actor Golda
Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte in the
drama, received a text message.
“It said I needed to go to a meeting that
evening with [Bridgerton creator] Shonda
Rhimes. So I got on to Zoom, there were a few
other faces on the screen, a few things were

we’re going to see if we can do a spin-off about
Queen Charlotte.”
Rosheuvel, who’s speaking to RT via Zoom,
does her own impression of the shocked emoji to
illustrate the group reaction. But actually, she
says, it makes total sense: an origin story for her
character, the Queen of Great Britain from 1761,
after her marriage to King George III, is an
origin story for the hit series itself.
“It’s set in the same world as Bridgerton, with
the same costumes and colours. We wanted to
show how Charlotte came to be, the first steps of
country from Germany and married George,
a man she’d never met before. You see the first
encounter of George and Charlotte, which
is beautiful. And then you see how they live
and how they interact with each other and
how they get used to each other. Ultimately it is
a love story.”
Rosheuvel also points out that in spite of the
title, Queen Charlotte isn’t just about the young
Charlotte, who’s played by India Amarteifio (see
right), the young King George (Corey Mylchre-
est), or the queen in her middle years, when

Corey Mylchreest and India Your first thoughts on getting the part…
Amarteifio as the young The immediate response was terror. Golda’s
George and Charlotte Charlotte is such a beloved character in the
Bridgerton world. This was my first lead, I’m
20, it was a lot of pressure. But I read an
interview that Golda did in which she said
that the Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton isn’t
based on facts. She’s a historical figure, but
this isn’t a documentary, it’s a fantasy world
in which real people exist.
On the plus side, you get the cutest little
dog, Pom Pom. What was she like?
She was great. Her name was Vicki and she
was bought specifically for the show by an
animal trainer who also has monkeys and
cats and supplies a lot of the animals for
Bridgerton and for Queen Charlotte. Vicki
was very pampered. She had this little area

down another route?
RadioTimes 22–28 April 2023
As a woman of mixed heritage,
what has the success of Bridgerton
meant to you?
[Showrunner] Shonda Rhimes is at the
forefront of this movement of including
people in genres where they didn’t exist
before — people just weren’t writing
shows for people of colour to be in
period costumes. I completely relate
to this — I never used to watch period
dramas. I’m half black and white. My
family looks like lots of different people.
I didn’t see myself represented so
I didn’t ever feel a need to watch them.
But now? Now I love period pieces.
COREY MYLCHREEST
IS THE YOUNG KING GEORGE III
What did you know about George III
before you came to this part?
If I wasn’t acting, I’d want to be a historian,
so I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t
know anything about George! We look
at The Madness of King George or [the
musical] Hamilton, which are all in their
own style great representations, but
they’re not necessarily the most accurate.
In 2015, 20,000 pages of George’s diaries
and letters were released and they fed into
Andrew Roberts’s biography, which I did
read. What I learnt is that whoever met
George never saw him as a real person. He
was first and foremost “the King”. That is
incredibly tragic — how can he work out who
he is when his entire waking existence is in
service of this version of himself? What’s
beautiful about this story is that George
finds himself in his love for Charlotte.
We know about the so-called “madness”
— does Queen Charlotte address that?
The series and George as a character
definitely explore mental health. But for the
audience, for the story and to pay homage
to the man that I researched, it’s important
that we don’t explicitly diagnose what it
was he was dealing with. He’s just trying
to be a normal young man, but he has this
affliction and it’s incredibly painful.
Whose costumes were harder work,
yours or India’s?
The women had it worse. I had heels,
stockings (which I changed to tights
because they wouldn’t stay up), breeches
that go up to your belly button and lovely
linen shirts. No, I didn’t get to keep one.
I’m still a bit angry about that…

 Spring into action!
The Woodland Trust shares some of the small
things you can do to help wildlife at this time of year
W
ith nature finally bursting back
into life, spring is an important
season for supporting wildlife
– whether it’s a single simple action or an
ongoing commitment. Here are the Woodland
Trust’s top tips for giving some of your
favourite species a helping hand.
Plant for pollinators
Thanks to warmer days
and increasing numbers
of flowers, the air is buzzing
with pollinators essential
to our ecosystem and food
production. Help them by growing
wildflowers. They’re easy to maintain in
a balcony container or, if you have more room,
transform a small patch in your garden into
a mini meadow – it will be a magnet for
bees, butterflies and other insects.
Help a hedgehog
Hedgehogs will look for
safe nesting sites now,
to begin breeding in May.
Encourage nest building
by leaving out sticks, dry
leaves and other materials,
or buy or make a hedgehog house. You
can also create a ‘hedgehog highway’
in your fences and gates by making small
gaps that will allow them to pass through.
Look after local woods
Spring is a fantastic time to explore the
woods, as nature bounces back and shows
off all its new colours and textures. Help
woodland wildlife, including ground-nesting
birds and precious flowers, with simple
actions such as sticking to paths, keeping
dogs on leads and taking litter home.
Assist the birds
Spring is peak breeding season and extra food
can help provide the energy that birds
need to mate, nest and raise chicks,
especially if the weather’s cold
or wet. Birds also need a place
to nest, so along with nest boxes,
offer building supplies. Leave
a selection of twigs, leaves, moss
and any plant debris in small piles
or packed loosely in hanging feeders.
Grow your lawn
Lawns are small wildlife reserves and the
longer the grass, the more species it houses.
Insects and invertebrates are important food
sources for birds, and common lawn plants
like clover and dandelion can be lifesavers
for pollinators. Try leaving an extra week
or two between cuts, or maybe even take
part in No Mow May.
Make a log pile
Help boost biodiversity
with an outdoor log
pile. Placed in a quiet,
shady area, it will provide
smaller species with refuge,
as well as a safe spot to hibernate
come winter. Packed with woodlice,
spiders, beetles and centipedes, it will prove
irresistible for hedgehogs, frogs, toads, shrews
and birds. Bury the logs partly into the soil
to keep them damp and attract more species.

Join the Woodland Trust today from just £4 a month to help

create thriving woods for thousands of UK wildlife species.

 ◁ “Lady Danbury and Violet and the whole
matriarchy are there, too, both young and as
they are in Bridgerton. It’s about how these
women came to be – how a woman of colour, in
Danbury’s case, got into the court and then all of
the emotional love, the relationships between
the women and how they were built up. But
throughout, it’s all kept under the umbrella of
Bridgerton.”
The mechanics that enable the older Queen
Charlotte and her 17-year-old persona to exist in
the same universe are described by Roshuevel as
“a behind-the-scenes [version of] Bridgerton”.
The two series overlap in flashforward and
flashback – “so where in Bridgerton I might have
been at the Presentation Ball and then leave the
room, in Queen Charlotte I walk straight into
a scene that’s in the spin-off.”
HIS FORMAT FUNCTIONS like a series of
elaborate footnotes. Queen Charlotte
offers an explanation for Charlotte’s
psychology and character in her later
years – haughty, magisterial, aloof – by showing
how minor German princess Charlotte of
Mecklenburg-Strelitz was treated when she
first came to England.
“Shonda has been really clever in
connecting the worlds, connecting the
two series together,” says Rosheuvel.
“Lady Whistledown [the anonymous
author of the weekly gossip pamphlet
that scandalises society, known as ‘the
Ton’] is there, the young and older
Danbury [played as a young woman by
Arsema Thomas and as an adult by
Adjoa Andoh] are there. The universe
sort of swirls round within itself, so it will
be fascinating to see whether the fans
notice little nuances and Easter eggs that
we’ve put in both productions. It’s a fascinat-
ing way of telling the story.”
‘It will be fascinating
to see whether fans
notice little nuances’
Rosheuvel is delighted with the story
Queen Charlotte tells, too. Charlotte
of Mecklenburg-Strelitz doesn’t
appear in Julia Quinn’s source
novels at all: her inclusion as a
mixed-race Queen in Bridgerton
was Shonda Rhimes’s idea, placing
race front and centre for the first time
in a TV period drama.
“It’s great to see somebody like me
in a wonderful, amazing, fantastical,
GETTY; SHUTTERSTOCK
beautiful, glitzy and glamorous period
drama,” says Rosheuvel. “That’s really
important to celebrate.”
And then there’s the serious stuff:

the wig I wear when I’m talking to my chil-
hair styles dren and they’re telling me what a terrible
mother I am.”
LTIMATELY, HOWEVER, IN a show
with two Queens playing revolving
doors, the main requirement is that
they need to be believably the same
person. Rosheuvel says that, because of the way
the story is told, she and Amarteifio were essen-
tially filming separate series – they had no
scenes together, but they did cross paths.
“India and I met very briefly, and we discussed
the fact that it was her role – I don’t have owner-
ship of it. Yes, I created it but I’m a champion for
the younger generation, the younger storytellers
coming up in the world and embodying these
characters for themselves. I hope she’s had the
best time, because I have. India would do
a scene in the morning, and I’d do a scene in
the afternoon, and we’d pass each other, and
I’d be like, ‘Oh, nice wig, girl!’”
But she must have had a doppelgänger
moment when first presented with an actor
meant to be her 30-years-younger self?

on the motivations of
his small-screen alter ego,
DCI Dalgliesh, the detective created by one of
crime fiction’s most celebrated grandes dames,
PD James – or Baroness James of Holland Park,
to give her her full title.
Carvel thinks Dalgliesh is rewarding for a
performer because of the layers of secrecy and
feeling James laid down in 14 novels, published
between 1962 and 2008, about the poetry-
writing widower. “For me, his arc in the first
series was dealing with grief and in the second
it’s about whether he can abandon his vocation
as a policeman. In my mind, in every scene, he’s

PD JAMES’S
asking, ‘Why do I do this job?’ ”
Carvel is speaking to me from his study, where
he’s sitting next to a shelf of the source stories.
He flicks until he finds a passage in which
Dalgliesh, alone with a corpse at a crime scene,
feels “in the company of the undemanding
dead”, an absolute “solitude… the central privacy
on which his life and his art depended”.
The actor says he carries those lines in his
mind as the key to the silent stillness in the char-
acter: “I don’t want to put it down because it’s a
big part of the show for many people, but I
personally find the piecing together incredibly
dull – ‘Where was the rose sprayer at 4.15pm?’
and all that. What I love is his studying people
and coming to a hypothesis about why they
acted as they did. The psychologist in him – the
bit that is Cracker – is what really turns me on.”

The official Queen of Crime,

The screenwriter says there was some discus-
sion about updating the books to the present
day, but the project remains set in the 1970s. An
onscreen consequence of this is facial hair – the
“sideburns”, unshaved stripes extending from
below each ear, that Dalgliesh sports.

Carvel think that is?

“GUILT IS SO subjective, and Bonnar) in series

none at all is interesting.”
Writer Neil Forsyth is explain-
ing why he picked this most
discomforting of human qual-
ities to run through his darkly comedic Scottish
thriller Guilt, about to begin its third and final
series. Back in the very first episode, brothers
Max and Jake (Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives)
were united in conspiracy following a hit-and-
run, and the series has since then expanded to
become a canvas full of strong, flawed personal-
ities, all nursing their own personal demons,
played by a glittering list of Scotland’s brightest
and best, including Bill Paterson, Phyllis Logan
and Emun Elliott.
“The first thing I thought of was the opening
scene – this dramatic incident, where one
brother would feel no guilt at all and the other
would feel life-altering guilt,” remembers
Forsyth. “Where do they go from there?” On a
journey the writer seemingly planned from the
off, it seems. “I always loved the idea of a trilogy.
I started out as a novelist and there’s something
about three acts that’s very attractive. Series two
was about revenge, while series three for me is
about redemption.”
The story is driven once more by the brothers,
says Forsyth, who considers the relationship
between siblings to be the most interesting of all
the familial ones. “They can be very different in
worlds and outlooks on life but have this Fresh from his success with The Gold,

such is her love of writing.

“I was at this screening and every-

her it was a medical thriller. After

For Ofori-Attah, the training that

she was writing about fictional
ones. But Ofori-Attah has no
regrets. “I don’t miss the acute

she was 12 that the marathon would be her

about to find out. “Well, I was never a

keep going and going and going.”

‘You keep them in

then reel them in’
When we speak, McColgan has just taken

“You’d wear warmer clothes on a practice run
– gloves, headbands and so on – but for a race
you want to get down to race shorts and a crop

your favour.
“The twists and turns later in the race were

record by a remarkable 43 seconds.
“On the track, if someone opens a gap, that’s

the race. But now she’s there to try to win it. “It’s
a new challenge, with lots of unknowns,” she
says. “And I just don’t know what will happen on
the day. I’ll have to keep a harder pace for much
longer – and right now I don’t know what will
work and what won’t.”
E
they are to get the most
out of their bodies.
McColgan has found that most
foods have an almost instantaneous
contrary effect, analogous to the
“crash” felt by diabetics in certain circum-
stances. “A lot of athletes and amateur
runners have experienced the same thing,” she
explains. “I’m in a better position than I was six
months ago, but it’s not perfect. I’ve tried things
out and they’ve worked, but it’s different in a
race when you’re going flat out. I’m hoping one
day to be able to operate with some kind of
bespoke fuel.”
So what is she wishing for in London? Many
of us will remember Paula Radcliffe’s glorious
run in her first London Marathon in 2002, but
unsurprisingly, McColgan is cautious: “I’ll be
running in one of the best fields ever assembled.
I could run the second-fastest time in British
history and still fail to make the top ten.”
Targets and expectations are, of course, a
matter for deep discussion with her coach and
mother. Liz was much the same sort of runner
as her daughter: not gifted with sparkling speed,
SNOOKER: WORLD

LITE ATHLETES, LIKE Grand Prix cars,
are tuned for performance rather than
reliability. Before every race every
athlete is one muscle-tweak away from
disappointment. You don’t know what will
happen next, so you just try to turn as much as
possible to your advantage. “My strength is my
strength,” McColgan says, and that’s not a
tautology, it’s a pretty accurate analysis.
There’s a tendency in athletes to see every race
as separate, taking each one as it comes in the
time-honoured way – but at the same time, they
like to see each race in the context of all the
others and, if all goes well, as a progression.
After that swift half in Berlin, the London Mara-
thon is an enthralling next step. “I hope that
I can learn from the experience and then take
that to the marathon at the Olympics in Paris
next year. That’s a hell of a lot more important.”
Perhaps Sunday’s race is just another stop
along the road – even if it is 26.2 miles long.

This drama has the patience and flair to carry off one of the more
unusual narratives you’ll see this year. Fleur Geffrier (pictured with
co-star Tomohisa Yamashita) is Camille, a Parisian author whose
writer’s block stems from her unusual childhood: her father, a
globally renowned wine guru, intensively trained her nose and
palate, but then abandoned the family and has been estranged ever
since, living in Japan and leaving his daughter with an aversion to
alcohol. When he dies, Camille has to relocate, and rekindle her gift
for wine appreciation, to claim her inheritance and find her path in
life. It sounds absurd, but it’s elegant and compelling. JS

WHAT I’M STREAMING
REECE SHEARSMITH
“I recently saw the second series of Hunters
(Amazon Prime Video), the Al Pacino show
about the Nazi hunters,” says the writer and star
of Inside No 9. “I think there was criticism about
it being ghoulish about the Second World War,
but it was very well done and Pacino elevates
anything he’s in. I also enjoyed the second series
of Your Honor (Sky Go/Now), with Bryan Cranston, and A Whole
Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou on Netflix was really, really good.”
10 Questions with Reece Shearsmith: page 8
Frog and Toad
Episode 1 available from Friday
This charmingly old-fashioned
cartoon follows the adventures of
impetuous Frog and his best friend
Toad, who is beset by fear and
self-doubt. In episode one, Toad has
baked a batch of his famous cookies
— to the excitement of the pair’s
robin pals, who hang around outside
Frog and Toad’s cottage, chirping.
Perhaps they’re the tastiest cookies
yet, but Frog and Toad soon find
that with great biscuits comes great
responsibility. How can they avoid
eating them all in one binge? When
willpower doesn’t work, they find
sharing is the way. JS
Ted Lasso
Episode 7 available from Wednesday
We’re past halfway in this third and
final season, and what was once
simply a sunny, silly comedy about
a clueless American inexplicably
managing an English football team
has deepened into a thoughtful
comedy drama. As the final whistle
looms and AFC Richmond continue
trying to compete in the Premier
League, numerous characters are
sorting out major life issues, but the
question remains: does Ted (Jason
Sudeikis), who still knows nothing
about football, really belong here?
There will be laughs and tears
before we have the answer. JS

Transform your
furniture from
the inside out
U
pdating and modernising
the furniture we love and
are comfortable with has
become extremely popular over
the last decade.
In a bid to save money and help
the environment many of us have
turned our hand to upcycling
our treasured furniture instead of
buying new, cheaply made and
mass-produced items. One of

we save our furniture from ever
ǕȒɯǣȇǕǼƏȇƳ ǼǼ ǣƺ ƏȇƳǣȇ ƺƏƳ
give new life to old gems.
One of the most popular forms
of upcycling is reupholstery.
Reupholstery allows you to take
an out-dated or worn out sofa or
chair and create a truly bespoke
item more in keeping with the
rest of your home. Any type of
furniture can be reupholstered
including Club, Wing and Recliner
styles. Your furniture is literally
transformed to look like new
again and can save you the stress
and risk of buying new furniture
which may end up being less
comfortable.
Older furniture tends to be made
of higher quality wood and so
can be perfect for reupholstery. If
you’re unsure about the quality
of your piece, it’s best to speak to
ƏȇƺƺǣƺȇƬƺƳƺɖǝȒǼ ƺɵ ȅ
who can talk you through every
step of the reupholstery process.
They will also be able to assess the
joints, frame and foam, and carry
out any necessary repairs.
Seat cushions can also be replaced
making your furniture secure and
comfortable once again.
ȇȒǝƺƫƺȇƺ ȒǔƺƬɵƬǼǣȇǕȒɮƺ
buying new is you’ll get exactly
what you want for your home.
For example when reupholstering
your chair or sofa you can choose
from a vast choice of fabrics and
Ƴƺ ǣǕȇ ǣȇƬǼɖƳǣȇǕȒƏǼ ً ǣƺ ً
patterns and plains, so your newly
updated furniture is sure to co-
ordinate perfectly with your décor.
You will end up with a truly unique
and special piece of furniture for
your home.
Reupholstery is a complex and
skilled craft which is why you
should always ensure you use a

In November 1992, after a spotlight ignited
a curtain in the Queen’s private chapel at
Windsor Castle, 200 firefighters battled to
save one of Britain’s most important buildings.
History has pitched this fire firmly in the
context of a flaming metaphor for the Queen’s
annus horribilis, and the ashes of her children’s
marriages that had dominated the headlines.
This documentary shifts the focus to a vivid
account of the blaze, as more than 100 rooms,
full of millions of pounds’ worth of irreplaceable
art and treasure, burned. It also powerfully
who ventured into the heart of the fire.
The BBC’s royal reporter Jennie Bond was
taking tea in Buckingham Palace when the

sangfroid with which the news was imparted.
But from the film footage showing the huge

of the disaster is apparent and their courage

Malpractice 9.00pm ITV1 Catch up via ITVX
You might want to record the
NEW opening hour of this fraught new
SERIES medical thriller, because as soon as
it finishes, I guarantee you’ll want to
rewind immediately to double check who said
what, where and when. Particularly when it
comes to Dr Lucinda Edwards (Niamh Algar),
whose stress-inducing shift in a busy A&E
department ends in the death of a patient.
The fact that this tragedy sparks an official
inquiry almost invites viewers to become
investigators — our task being to glean the
hidden agendas and suss out the secrets that
Lucinda seems to be keeping. It’s an irresistible
company that gave us Line of Duty and Vigil),
and the fact that it’s written by a one-time
practising doctor, Grace Ofori-Attah, gives the
series an air of scary believability.
Those who don’t work in a hospital tend
to want to get out as soon as possible, but
Malpractice won’t have much problem
persuading us to stay for the next five weeks.

London Marathon
from 8.30am BBC1, 2.15pm BBC2
Catch up via iPlayer
After three successive autumn races,
the London Marathon is finally back
in its usual spring slot, with hundreds
of thousands entering the ballot to
run from Blackheath to the Mall.
As ever, there is considerable star
power hidden in the hordes, on levels
both professional and amateur. For
example, a number of EastEnders
actors will run as part of “Babs’
Army”, in memory of the late Barbara
Windsor. Most likely a bit quicker in
the elite races will be Sir Mo Farah in
his final London Marathon, plus Eilish
McColgan — who is hoping to emulate
her mother Liz’s triumph in 1996 —
alongside fellow Scot Stephanie
Davis and multiple Olympic champion
Sifan Hassan on her marathon debut.

King Charles has always been a
doughty defender of the countryside,
hence this special edition airing
ahead of his coronation next month.
Hamza Yassin and Charlotte Smith
visit Dumfries House in Ayrshire,
which is administered by the King’s
educational charity, the Prince’s
Foundation. It’s where Charles’s
interests in farming, wildlife, country
crafts and education flourish.
Adam Henson visits the organic
farm in Sussex owned by Elizabeth
Buchanan, Charles’s former private
secretary, who was instrumental
when the Prince’s Countryside Fund
charity was established in 2010. As
King, Charles’s ability to speak out
will be restricted, but it’s no secret
that the countryside is where his
heart truly lies. JOHN AIZLEWOOD
Great Expectations
9.00pm BBC1 Catch up via iPlayer
Dramatist/provocateur Steven
Knight continues with his mission to
annoy the readers of Radio Times
with some more wild deviations from
Dickens. Chief among them is the
attendance by an opium-hazy Pip
(Fionn Whitehead) at a licentious
pleasure garden, a sequence that’s
all a bit Eyes Wide Shut in breeches.
But time is also spent dealing
with the traditional (and some might
even say soapier) aspects of this
tale, with Magwitch’s past also
coming under the spotlight. You
must have heard the theory about
Dickens being a shoo-in to produce
scripts for EastEnders had he been
around today? Well, consider this
Exhibit A when it comes to that
argument. Duff-duffs? He sure
knew how to write them. DB

while her foot stamping is

She does slightly better with other
almost-lost jobs, such as crafting a
Bedouin dagger (“time-consuming”),
dyeing with indigo (“charming”) and
lifeguarding in the Dead Sea
(“muddy”). Though not a natural
camper, she stays in the desert with
Bedouin herders, whose work mainly
seems to involve shouting at goats.
In between the larking about,
Pascoe — to her credit — makes
serious points about the Middle East,

 REALITY
I’m a Celebrity… South Africa
You would think that, for most, one
NEW stint on I’m a Celebrity… would be
SERIES enough to last a lifetime. But for
some reason — not for the money,
surely — a cohort of memorable former
campmates have agreed to return for the first
ever “all-star” version of the reality show.
Television MONDAY
9.00pm ITV1 Catch up via ITVX
There are some changes. Instead of Australia
we’re in South Africa, and rather than being live,
with viewers voting for trials, the series was filmed
a while ago. It means a lot of the frisson and fun of
the regular series will likely be lost in transit.
Thankfully, the line-up sounds like it will deliver.
The initial celebrities entering camp include 2003
champion Phil Tufnell; Paul Burrell, whose facial
expressions during a Bushtucker trial in 2004
earned him a place in I’m a Celebrity… history; and
Fatima Whitbread, who got a cockroach lodged in
her nostril during a trial in 2011. Even that hasn’t put
her off returning. More stars will join over the course
of the series, including, it’s rumoured, other former
winners and Gillian “fainting” McKeith. Continues
nightly. FRANCES TAYLOR TV PREVIEWS EDITOR

Grief is a funny old thing and will be
felt more keenly by viewers, who’re
now missing Brian Cox, than any of
the late Logan Roy’s children and
underlings at Waystar Royco. Logan’s
death was inevitable from the very
first episode (and barely averted five
years ago), but now the media titan
has fallen, the vultures have pounced.
Or rather the “screw-ups and
dips**ts”, as Tom gallantly calls them.
Kendall and Roman, who do
admittedly fit that description, have
been appointed to run the company,
with their appreciably more capable
sister Shiv held in reserve. At the
mid-point of the final season, will any
of them be able to shore up their
complex dealings with the slippery
Swede, Matsson? PATRICK MULKERN
Mastermind
8.00pm BBC2 Catch up via iPlayer
It’s a mighty steep
SERIES climb to the top of the
FINALE quizzing Everest that is
Mastermind (it has taken
30 episodes to get here), so we can
probably forgive the show for getting
a bit lightheaded as we’re introduced
to the six finalists with specially shot
little films. It’s cute meeting their
families, hearing why they picked
their specialist subjects and seeing
Ricky Gervais give his best wishes to
the contestant answering questions
on his sitcom Extras.
Two minutes on their specialist
subject followed by two and a half
minutes of general knowledge are all
that separates someone from the
big glass trophy. They’ve started…
and now they’ve got to finish.
CERI THOMAS
Coronation Street
8.00pm ITV1 Catch up via ITVX
It’s a tough job keeping the weighing
scales of Coronation Street balanced.
In one tray, there’s the melodrama,
in the other we have the comedy.
And sometimes, those elements
are noticeably uneven.
Currently, there’s far too much
in the way of misery, what with the
rape of Amy, as well as Paul’s motor
neurone disease, Stephen’s deadly
scheming and Craig’s relationship
with Faye coming under threat.
What’s happened to the wryness
and witty turns of phrase? And don’t
go citing Brian discovering his Italian
heritage as an example of light amid
the shade, it’s hardly worthy of note.
There’s already enough anxiety in
the world and Corrie ought to be
providing something in the way of
an antidote. DAVID BROWN

“I can tell you’re building up to telling
me what crazy thing you want to do
with the guest bedroom,” says Sarah
Beeny’s despairing husband Graham.
He’s right: she plans to make it an
immersive experience with bold
wallpaper and matching soft
furnishings. “You’re mad,” he tells
her — and that’s before she makes a
secret door using an old wardrobe.
Few of us have a massive mansion
like their one in Somerset, nor the
money or the skill to restore it, and
if we needed bedside tables, most of
us would visit a certain well-known
Swedish furniture store rather than
an auction house. All the same, it’s
charming watching the Beeny family
at work and at play. JANE RACKHAM

The latest in this bleak but fascinating
series commences with some terribly
sad calls from victims of bullying and
domestic violence.
Cases under review include a
Sudanese-British teenager who has
been beaten up while walking down
the street — racism, sadly, is the most
common cause of bullying among
children — and we also encounter a
young man at risk of suicide and a
distraught woman whose partner
exerts coercive control. The South
Yorkshire police officers featured
come across as decent, sympathetic
people. As one of them laments, “The
amount of calls we receive about
bullying still doesn’t reflect how much
it goes on.” PAUL WHITELAW

It often feels as if procedural crime
dramas are schooling viewers in
acronyms. Line of Duty gave us OCG
(Organised Crime Group), Trigger
Point offered up AFO (Authorised
Firearms Officer), and here on Blue
Lights we have OOBs, the suspects
considered “out of bounds” by
regular uniformed officers.
Those with this classification are
easy to spot; the puffer jackets,
baseball caps and firearms shipped
in from Libya are a dead giveaway.
But tense confrontations have
become a regular feature of each
episode, despite the higher-ups in
the force demanding that Operation
Farset be allowed to run its course.
Veteran officer Gerry understands
how quickly events can go awry,
though, as we see tonight when he
warns his colleague Jen against using
“the Q word” when describing their
shift. He means “quiet”, of course,
and this terrific hour of television is
anything but. DB

Like many other fans of First Dates,
I like to try to guess who’s going to hit
it off over the restaurant table and
who isn’t. Judging by my predictions
for this edition, though, I doubt I’ll
ever make it as a matchmaker. The
pair I thought were perfect together
haven’t even organised a second
date. Maybe you’ll do better.
There’s cheese-maker Archie,
whose date Emma likes making
cheese-related jokes but not eating
the stuff; tattoo studio manager
Donna, who enjoys a laugh with
Anthony; Francesca, who likes dogs
as much as her date John does; and
Mike and Esi, whose evening gets off
to a dramatic start when bartender
Merlin smashes a glass. Now that’s
what you call an icebreaker. JR

As with the British original Murder
in Successville, the quality of these
improvised murder mysteries is often
down to the calibre of the guest
celebrity. For example, Kumail
Nanjiani, who investigates a death
at a school reunion in tonight’s first
episode, is a class act, gamely
matching star Will Arnett’s energy
without forgetting to occasionally
laugh at the lunacy around him.
In the second episode, however,
Schitt’s Creek star Annie Murphy
doesn’t let her guard down. The
result? A fairly lacklustre half-hour
of comedy. They could do worse than
really copying the UK original and
inviting Lorraine Kelly on again.

FILM NOIR This dark crime
tale reunited director Fritz
Lang with stars Glenn Ford
and Gloria Grahame after the
brilliant The Big Heat. Based
on Emile Zola’s La Bête
Humaine, this follows the
murderous triangle engulfing
a train driver, a stationmaster
and his wife. The more lurid
parts of the story are toned
down for Hollywood, but Lang
directs with his usual flair. DP

ADVENTURE New to Talking
Pictures TV this week, this
historical romance was one
of 20th Century-Fox’s lavish
backlot pageants. The stars
are Gene Tierney and Paul

Vincent Price among the
support. Though it lacks a true
sense of scale, this saga about
the founder of the fur-trading
Hudson’s Bay Company is
still perfectly watchable.

Inside the Factory
8.00pm BBC2 Catch up via iPlayer
When Gregg Wallace calls the people
responsible for manufacturing
meat-free bangers “sausage
scientists”, he’s not joking. The
process starts with vegetables grown
in the Yorkshire factory’s futuristic
vertical farm: “Woah! It’s like Star
Wars meets salad,” he gasps as he
sees multiple rows of spinach bathed
by a light show to help them grow.
By the time the vegetable-based
filling is encased in a seaweed gel,
he’s even more excited about the
science behind it. “You clever little
sausage!” he tells one worker.
Meanwhile, Ruth Goodman
explores the history of
vegetarianism, which she traces
back to a Victorian preacher with
the slightly inappropriate surname
of… Cowherd. JR

none other than James Herriot
(aka Alf Wight), is back in the saddle
to treat poorly animals in his
Kirkbymoorside patch and, in this
typically engaging episode, Peter has
to take care of some donkey work.
Elsewhere, his former business
partner Julian Norton (who now has
his own practice in Thirsk) operates
on an injured French bulldog with
a missing leg, and one of the students
at a state-of-the-art animal hospital
in Huddersfield misplaces his pet
snake while driving to a farm.

MasterChef
9.00pm BBC1 Catch up via iPlayer
There are some terrific cooks in this
audition round, serving dishes from
Gambia (so spicy it gives John
Torode the chilli hiccups), Vietnam,
Ireland, Slovenia, Morocco, South
Africa and Hungary. “That’s clever,
modern and smart,” gushes Gregg
Wallace about one. “Divine,” says
John about another.
You wouldn’t think there’d be
many ingredients John and Gregg
aren’t familiar with by now, but
besab (chutney) perplexes the pair,
while neither has tried butter bean
and ricotta dumplings, although the
dish intrigues them.
While it’s easy for them to pick
two outstanding cooks to put
straight through to the next round,
choosing a third to get a MasterChef
apron is tricky. JR

NEW John Sergeant hosts this
SERIES genial new series in which
he attempts to travel
from London to Scotland via
steam-powered vehicles. Along for
the ride are Peter Davison, who plays
along with his exasperated fish-out-of-
water role, and The Yorkshire Steam
Railway star Piglet. A likeable trio.
Stage one involves puttering down
the Thames in a tugboat, surviving
the central London rush hour in
a 104-year-old car with no seatbelts
or doors, and boarding a luxurious
steam train. Davison, nervously,
also commandeers a vintage bus.
“If you can operate the Tardis,” says
Sergeant, “you can cope with this
sort of thing.” PW

Miss Scarlet and

Catch up via Sky Go/Now
After last week’s episode looked like it
was teeing up a love triangle, there’s
now a deft swerve. In fact, Duke fans
may be disappointed, as he’s nowhere
to be seen. Eliza Scarlet is seeking
Scotland Yard’s most wanted man and
has tracked him to a snowbound hotel
in France. Rival investigator Patrick
Nash (Felix Scott) is engaged in the
same task — but has apprehended a
different man. So who is the culprit?
It’s a neat premise for a light,
caperish story that could be subtitled
The Wrong Mans, but with a gallery
of guest players that will keep your
deductive faculties working overtime.
That said, we wouldn’t want the co-
lead to be a Duke of Disappearance

Colin from Accounts
10.00pm BBC2
Full series on iPlayer now
Much of the humour in this cute
comedy from Australia is below the
belt, but there is a lot of it in this
episode. Literally. In attempting to
take a charming picture of Colin and
send it to Ashley (Harriet Dyer),
Gordon (Patrick Brammall)
inadvertently texts her an entirely
different image and goes up against
the clock as he battles to get to her
phone before she can see it. His
trousers are down again on a visit to
his doctor who uses the memorable
phrase “Urethra Franklin”.
There’s tragedy tonight, too,
but it doesn’t get dragged down
in the maudlin or veer into
dramedy territory. This is just
unabashedly silly. FRANCES TAYLOR

MELODRAMA Cult director
Edgar G Ulmer (Detour) didn’t
work with many major stars,
but with this film he coaxed a
top-notch performance from
Hedy Lamarr. She plays a
social-climbing beauty who
ensnares Gene Lockhart,
George Sanders and Louis
Hayward during her rise from
a deprived childhood. It’s
glamorous to behold and
played to perfection.

BIOPIC This drama about
the legendary band leader is
one of the most fondly
remembered collaborations
between director Anthony
Mann and star James Stewart.
Whether struggling to find his
signature style of swing,
enjoying the benefits of fame

Stewart is perfect for the
role. The music, adapted by
Henry Mancini, is bewitching.

The Mysterious
Mr Lagerfeld
9.00pm BBC2 Catch up via iPlayer
Embroidered on a cushion in an
antiques-stuffed apartment in Paris
are the words, “I never repeat gossip,
so listen carefully”. It’s the perfect
description for this teasing
documentary by Michael Waldman,
which delves into the life of fashion
icon Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019.

You won’t learn much about his BRAND

commercial savvy that helped revive appearance
the flagging Chanel), but you do get became pivotal

his bodyguard and male model muses

to his lawyer and his American niece.
Waldman is fond of saying, “Can
I ask you a direct question?”, usually
related to the financial arrangements
around Lagerfeld’s will. (Having made
the Inside Monaco series, he’s clearly
overcome any British reticence over
talking about money.) But Lagerfeld
was a complicated man. He despised
nostalgia and the past, but loved
books to an insane degree. He would
cut off anyone who wasn’t a devoted
team player, but was extravagantly
generous to those who stayed loyal,
including his cat, Choupette. His death
appears genuinely to have left a hole
in many lives. GILL CRAWFORD

After being briefed via a Zoom call to
revamp a bookshop/café on the Isle
of Skye, Banjo Beale goes window
shopping… literally. He blows half his
budget on enormous stained-glass
windows to use as room dividers and
give the place a focal point. But when
he turns up with them for the first
time at the café, his “wow factor”
item doesn’t get the enthusiastic
reception he wanted.
His team have a muted response
to his choice of paint colour, too. It
doesn’t faze him, though — he simply
smiles engagingly and ploughs on.
As always, the transformation is
lovely so there’s a happy-ever-after
ending to this bookshop’s story.

The Truth about
Your Ready Meals
8.00pm Channel 5
Catch up via My5
Ready meals are often maligned by
culinary connoisseurs, but actor and
broadcaster Alexis Conran (who won
Celebrity MasterChef back in 2016)
is having none of that. He sets out to
uncover the inspiration behind some
of our favourite pre-prepared foods.
His investigation begins in America,
the original home of a phenomenon
that now dominates many people’s
weekly shop in the UK.
He also meets some ready-meal
experts, who teach him how to easily
and cheaply recreate the classics at
home without any need for a
microwave. His menu this week
includes sausages, mash, paella and
pies, all of them cooked to perfection
in record time. PAUL WHITELAW
Wales’s Home of the Year Davis v Taylor:
8.30pm BBC2 the ’85 Black Ball Final
Catch up via iPlayer
It’s “kitsch explosion” versus
“brutally sparse” as battle
commences in the third heat of this
property contest. A massive study in
contrast awaits judges Owain, Mandy
and Glen in the north west of Wales
where the first house they visit is
a 100-year-old barn conversion in
Snowdonia. All whitewashed walls on
the outside and dark cosy rooms on
the inside, it’s positively crammed
with knicknacks. The owners clearly
never saw a clock, a china doll, an
engraved glass or an ornate rocking
horse that they didn’t love.
Balance that against the minimalist
light-filled home near Conwy the
judges view last. It has incredible sea
views outside, but very little inside.

Available now on iPlayer
There’s one simple reason why this
documentary, which was first shown
in 2010, works: large swathes of it are
just footage of the match, without
cutting to interviews or any other
gubbins. Thus we get to relive
properly the unique evening when
the final of the World Snooker
Championship — between champion
Steve Davis and underdog Dennis
Taylor — went down to the last frame,
which in turn then went down to the
very last ball.
There are, however, enough
reminiscences to add extra colour,
with Taylor’s memories naturally the
most vital. Flip your glasses upside
down and enjoy it all over again.

Actors Robson Green and Jim

it shows as they ruminate upon life,
love and shared experiences. This
second series ends with a trip to the
largest island in Scotland, Lewis and
Harris. The scenery could make any
jaw drop, but the fly-fishing is oddly

We last saw oily ex-lawyer Max McCall

qualms about dishing out violent
revenge is Maggie Lynch (Phyllis
Logan, delightfully sinister playing
the widow of a crime lord).
A potential ally for Max is his
old buddy Kenny (Emun Elliott) but
he is preoccupied — cementing his
relationship with cop Yvonne (Isaura

Neil). We also meet Skye (Amelia Isaac

DOCUMENTARY TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY COMEDY

This is flower arranging
NEW — but not as you know it.
SERIES For the mind-bendingly
rich, a neatly tied posy
won’t cut it when it comes to floral
displays: for their weddings and
birthday parties the budget can be
limitless and the level of perfection
required is even higher. This fly-on-
the-stem series follows the work of
some of the UK’s top florists who are
tasked with creating gorgeous
displays for the super-wealthy.
Tonight “super-florist” Jamie
takes on one of his most prickly
challenges to date on a four-day
wedding in Venice. His ambitious
vision requires a team of 40 people
and more than 100,000 blooms —
but will the baking Italian heat thwart
his creations? FRANCES TAYLOR

Catch up via My5
Although Jane McDonald reckons
that she’s already seen a few animals
in Doncaster, she’s off to Kenya to
see some proper wildlife on an
African safari in Samburu National
Park. She’s staying in a luxurious
tented lodge with views over the
Rift Valley. Carry On Camping it’s not.
Unusually it leaves her speechless,
but she finds her voice again after
getting up early to watch the sunrise
and then, on a game drive, spotting
a leopard as well as lions, zebra
and elephants.
It’s an enjoyable advert for
(admittedly pricey) Kenyan holidays,
although she does get emotional
after sleeping under the stars.

Paul O’Grady:
For the Love of Dogs
8.30pm ITV1 (11pm UTV, not on STV)
Catch up via ITVX
When Paul O’Grady sees Murphy,
he’s horrified. “That’s criminal,” he
says of the two-year-old spaniel’s
tragic condition and obvious fear of
humans. It’s one of those Battersea
Dogs and Cats Home stories that
breaks your heart — and then warms
it when you see the dog happy,
healthy and in a new loving home.
Meanwhile, shorkie Lola (a yorkie/
shih tzu cross) is being picky with her
food. As she’s Spanish she probably
only eats tapas, Paul decides. And
he’s right — small plates of gambas
and queso do the trick. She gets
rehomed when a familiar TV
personality comes to Battersea
looking for a little four-legged friend
to keep his mother company. JR
Taskmaster
9.00pm C4 Catch up via All 4
What kind of task would make one
contestant journey to ancient Egypt,
another talk to ghosts while a third
sculpted a body part out of food?
You’ll find out in this top-tier episode,
which features some of the most
creative challenges faced in the
series thus far. And while one task
might be pleasingly open-ended,
another is much more proscriptive,
almost to the point of anti-climax…
until a great final pay-off. Later, a
chaotic third task (which involves
collecting spoons blindfolded) is only
enhanced when the comedians are
asked to also speak in a falsetto for
literally no reason.
Altogether, it’s a brilliantly bizarre
hour of telly. At the halfway point in
series 15, Taskmaster is still firing on
all cylinders. HUW FULLERTON

WAR This British movie was
part of a cycle that introduced
a note of cynicism and irony
to their tales of wartime
exploits, replacing the softer,
almost nostalgic films of the
late 1940s. It’s set in 1942
and tells the story of a group
of British soldiers (led by
Stanley Baker) who take
over a Burmese village. The
absence of music adds to
the gritty feel of the film.

Timber (Joshua McCord),

Richard (Mark Lewis Jones)
and Wicky (Greg Davies)

COMEDY DRAMA
The Cleaner 9.30pm BBC1 Series 1 and 2 on iPlayer now
The first mystery Wicky has to solve in
FINAL the last episode is where his clean-up
EPISODE job actually is. Deployed to rural Wales,
he has no phone signal and no clue —
and when he does eventually arrive at the
blood-splattered cottage, he’s full of questions.
What type of blood is it? Who would want to kill this
man? Why is one of the undertakers called Timber?
It doesn’t help that prophetic undertaker Richard
(Mark Lewis Jones) speaks in riddles. But despite
being surrounded by death, Richard (like many of
the zany characters Wicky encounters) is eager to
teach him a lesson or two about life. But unbeknown
to the trio, they’re being spied on from the woods…
Blending sinister (a gamekeeper has been
killed and had his head removed) and slapstick
(the undertaker drops the coffin and crashes the
hearse — whoops!) is something The Cleaner can
sometimes struggle to do successfully, but there
are few who do indignation-fuelled comedy better
than Greg Davies. FRANCES TAYLOR

The Big Interiors Battle A Country Life
8.00pm C4 Catch up via All 4 for Half the Price
Whichever amateur designer wins
this competition is probably going
with Kate Humble
to hate the corridor leading to their
apartment door in that converted
Sheffield factory. The weekly wait to
see whether they’ve been locked out
is genuinely nerve-shredding.
But the final is weeks away and this
time the remaining seven must style
their kitchens. The basics are already
fitted but the designers have to decide
on colour, function and zoning. We’re
gradually getting to know their
characters, personal situation and
style (including “industrial country
house chic”, whatever that is). While
the ever-enthusiastic AJ Odudu loves
everything, architect Dara Huang’s
critiques are brutal: “Looks like a strip
club”, “I’m underwhelmed”, “Too
theatrical”. Ouch. JANE RACKHAM
8pm Channel 5 Catch up via My5
When you move from
NEW town to country, life will
SERIES be cheaper, less hurried
and your home will be a
sanctuary for wildlife. Won’t it? It’s
worked for Kate Humble and her
husband, who swapped Chiswick for
a farm in the Wye Valley. As Humble
hears, though, others have found
it hard drastically changing their
lives. The Goldby family, from Epsom,
discovered juggling day jobs, home-
schooling and a smallholding isn’t
easy. What seems romantic in summer
takes on a different hue in the depths
of winter, but it’s hard not to admire
the quixotic enthusiasm of those who
take the plunge. JOHN AIZLEWOOD

In the wake of a flaw in one of Payne
Motors’ cars causing a massive forest
fire, the actor Kevin Costner resigns
as their corporate spokesman (well,
his ranch did go up in smoke in the
aforementioned blaze…). Who
on earth can they get to replace him?
Cue a surprise celebrity cameo
or two in the opening episode of
tonight’s double bill of the wry and
silly US workplace sitcom.
Episode two sees the management
team decide it’s time to cut costs
by making a few redundancies. But
are they really the guys you want
to be handling a bunch of delicate
meetings in which they break it to
annoyed staff that they no longer
have a job? Erm, not as such…

We’re used to seeing Carol Klein
roaming the marquees at the annual
RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden
Festival, enthusing about different
varieties of plants. This year, though,
she’s creating her own show garden
there. Tonight she shares her plans
for it, revealing that she wants it to be
“inspirational rather than
aspirational… to encourage everyone
to grow their own plants… whether
they’ve got a garden, a balcony or
part of a community garden”.
Meanwhile, Monty Don plants
umbellifers and Arit Anderson
reports on effects that banning peat
in compost will have. (Note: there’s

DRAMA
Dalgliesh
9.00pm Channel 5 Catch up via My5
Crime writer PD James often utilised
places of worship as murder sites, her
casebook filled with bodies getting
found in churches or theological
colleges. As a Christian, she must
have seen the spilling of blood in such
locations as a particularly repugnant
type of desecration.
Here, in the concluding episode of
Death of an Expert Witness, a chapel
is again transformed into a stark
tableau of untimely death, thanks to
the discovery of a second victim. But
as those in the frame get increasingly
aerated, DCI Adam Dalgliesh (Bertie
Carvel) continues to exude calm, his
sense of fairness and humanity never
failing him, even when confronted
with these awful acts of violence.

Catch up via All 4
“Raphaelle, this isn’t the first
time we have faced a strange
phenomenon and found a rational
explanation,” Astrid patiently
explains to the anxious detective.
And this week’s case is very odd
indeed, involving witchcraft, pigs,
surrogacy, rape and activism.
It affects the chalk-and-cheese
pair (now known to their colleagues
as Astraelle) in different ways. For
Astrid it’s disturbing to realise that,
in some cultures, autism is linked
to witchcraft while, as a mother,
Raphaelle finds the disappearance
of a baby deeply upsetting. It’s
heartening, though, to see how the
case has made Astrid think about
family connections in a new way. JR

FILM REVIEWS
FILM The Martian HHHH
OF THE 10.40pm-12.55am BBC1
DAY
SCI-FI Life on Mars requires ingenuity and a keen
sense of humour, if Ridley Scott’s film is anything to go by.
An Oscar-nominated Matt Damon plays astronaut Mark
42
Watney, left for dead on the red planet after a manned
mission is abandoned during a ferocious storm. Despite his
awful predicament, Watney proves to be good company in
his video diaries. His use of “real science” to work through
each life-threatening situation adds a fascinating dimension
to the story, before the narrative switches focus to Nasa’s
rescue mission. STELLA PAPAMICHAEL (US 2015, swearing, HD)
Lone Star HH
12.25-2.15pm 5 Action
WESTERN Clark Gable plays
a rancher who attempts to
facilitate the statehood of
Texas in this verbose saga,
set in 1845. As Gable is
dispatched to scupper any
possible deal with the
Mexicans, his main adversary
is Broderick Crawford’s
staunch republican senator,
while Ava Gardner co-stars
as a newspaper owner.
ALLEN EYLES (US 1952, BW, HD)
Arabian Nights HHH
12.45-2.30pm Film4
41
FANTASY Made to cash in
on the success of The Thief
of Bagdad, this piece of
Hollywood exotica stars Jon
Hall as the Caliph, Sabu as
his best buddy and Maria
Montez as the woman he falls
for. The actors have their
tongues firmly in their cheeks
and the whole show verges
on the brink of a send-up,
which is exactly how it should
be. ADRIAN TURNER (US 1942, HD)
Bride of Frankenstein
5 3.00-4.30pm
Legend
HORROR James Whale’s
extravagant sequel to his
own Frankenstein still ranks
as one of horror’s greatest
achievements. It’s a class act
throughout, thanks to Whale’s
wittily eccentric direction, as
FRIDAY 28 APRIL
well as the casting of Elsa
y Lanchester as the electric-
haired bride, Ernest Thesiger
as Doctor Pretorius and
Boris Karloff as the monster.
ALAN JONES (US 1935, BW)
Block-Heads HHHH
4.50-6.00pm
Talking Pictures TV
COMEDY This Laurel and
Hardy classic begins with
Stan left to guard a trench in
1917. Two decades later, he is
discovered still performing
his duties. Ollie takes him
home, where they become
g involved in a farcical situation
with jealous big-game hunter
Billy Gilbert. One to relish for
its innuendos and sight gags,
the result is one of the duo’s
more appealing outings.
TOM HUTCHINSON (US 1938, BW)
Ted HHHH
9.00-11.10pm ITV2
COMEDY This vulgar but
hilarious offering from Family
Guy creator Seth MacFarlane
finds him voicing a teddy who
is far from innocent. Despite
the filth that spills from the
g
bear’s mouth, there’s
something endearing about
his devotion to his slacker
owner (Mark Wahlberg). Mila
Kunis co-stars as Wahlberg’s
partner, while Giovanni Ribisi
darkens the humour a little
as Ted’s stalker. SP (US 2012,
swearing, drug abuse, brief nudity, HD)
Deathdream HHH
9.05-10.50pm
Talking Pictures TV j
HORROR This cross between
The Monkey’s Paw and Night
of the Living Dead is a tense,
low-budget gem. Distraught
mother Lynn Carlin wishes
her son Richard Backus
would return from fighting in
the war. But when he does,
it’s as a walking corpse with
grisly appetites. Featuring
chilling make-up effects, this
is a brilliantly unpretentious
allegory for the war in Vietnam.

Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island
HH 12.10-2.00am C4 j
HORROR This spin on the
TV series from the 1970s and
80s sees five people win a
y holiday to an island resort,
where their fantasies are
made to come true. When
these desires begin to
connect in nightmarish ways,
the visitors realise something
is wrong. The plot gets
increasingly ridiculous, but
the Fiji locations and neat
homages to the show provide
some distraction. AJ (US 2020,

UST TWO MINUTES into our interview, in Happy Valley
Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright
has me worried. “I’m really not a great
talker,” she says. “I have a mental block
when it comes to thoughts coming out of
my mouth. I think that’s why I write. You have
slightly longer to write than you do to speak.”
This Cultural Life is a Radio 4 show in which
the interviewee is given space to talk at length,
to recall the influences, experiences and forma-
tive events that have inspired their own artistry.
So there’s some irony that one of Britain’s most
successful television dramatists, a writer
renowned for pithy, staccato dialogue delivered
in the idiom and vernacular of her native West
Yorkshire, is now apologising for not being so
good at “the talking thing” in real life.
As it turns out, Wainwright is a candid,
eloquent and moving interviewee. Over the
course of our conversation, she retraces her
cultural life to the family living room in the
Calder Valley market town of Sowerby Bridge. It
was there, beside her mum Dorothy on the sofa,
that she realised her vocation at a young age.
When she arrived at the studio in pink plaid
shirt, jeans and trainers, Wainwright warned me
that she would probably cry during the
recording. Dorothy died just before
Christmas 2022, having lived with
dementia for several years. “Mum

DRAMA
Twelfth Night
Saturday, Sunday 3.00pm Radio 4
Is there a more appealing Shakespeare play than Twelfth Night? For those
in charge of BBC radio in 1923 it must have seemed very appealing indeed
because his great comedy of mistaken identity and unrequited love, set on
the Illyrian coast (the present-day Adriatic), became the first of his plays
to be broadcast. This production, produced and directed by Clive Brill,
marks the 400th anniversary of the play’s publication in the First Folio
and is blessed with its own delightful performances — from Indigo
Griffiths’s Viola to Toby Jones’s Malvolio — with Joseph Bedell’s original
music adding a twist of modernity. The range of accents on offer is also
something that we can be fairly sure audiences
in 1923 wouldn’t have been treated to.

Private Passions
Sunday 12 noon Radio 3
Silences and soulful,
meditative music are
perhaps not unsurprising
choices from Ben Watt
(below), one half of
Everything but the Girl with
his wife Tracey Thorn. In
1992, Watt was struck down
by a rare autoimmune
disease that not only derailed
his career but almost killed
him — and it still affects his
life. During the pandemic he
had to go into isolation from
his family. His contemplative
conversation with Michael
Berkeley is also filled with
a muso’s passion for the
intricacies of tones, tunings
and voices. DAVID CRAWFORD
SKETCH SHOW
Wosson Cornwall
Tuesday 6.30pm Radio 4
Few British counties have as strong an
identity as Cornwall, with its beaches,
pasties, Doc Martin and Rick Stein. Such
familiarity provides low-hanging fruit for the Cornish
cast of this new sketch show (including Dawn French,
right), who have fun dipping into the region’s myths and
poking fun at natives and confounded holidaymakers
alike. With such conceits as Daphne du Maurier World,
the result is a lightly illuminating four-part series. The
best bit comes with the more universal conceit of an
inhospitable hotelier. Imagine if Basil Fawlty was a
woman and he was actually fond
of Torquay. CAROLINE FROST

Delving into murky worlds is

“The live stuff finds you out,”

David Lloyd’s library of momentous

You might start by listening to Ken

History’s Greatest Cities
Globe-trotting history buffs are in
for a treat with this HistoryExtra
series, in which travel journalist
Paul Bloomfield teams up with
expert guides for a whistlestop
virtual tour of Europe’s go-to
metropolises. Berlin is Bloomfield’s
first stop, where such vivid titbits
that the city was probably named
after a swamp rather than a bear
set the scene. A perfect prelude
for your next trip, especially if
the destination is the likes of
Prague, Rome, Madrid, Istanbul,
Paris or Oslo. JEREMY ASPINALL
Disaster Trolls
The Manchester Arena terrorist
attack was a horrific event, but for
many victims and their families the
horror has continued, as they’ve
been targeted by crazed internet
trolls who accuse them of being
actors in a monstrous lie: that
the attack was faked. The BBC’s
disinformation correspondent
Marianna Spring’s exemplary
investigation explores the mad
world of conspiracy theorists and
details how victims worked to
expose their tormentors and bring
them to justice. DAVID CRAWFORD

The Hidden History
of the Attic
1.30pm Radio 4
Rachel Hurdley has previously
investigated the hidden
histories of the staircase, the
window and the front door.
Here, she looks upwards,
digging into the attic’s arrival
during the Renaissance and
enjoying the creative potential
offered by such a space; think
the first Mrs Rochester, or the
portrait of Dorian Gray. And she
explores our attachment to a
place that holds those things
we don’t need but can’t bear to
part with — souvenirs of our
past but also tokens of our hope
for the future (those tennis
rackets!). CAROLINE FROST
Drama on 3:
Henry IV Part 2
7.30pm Radio 3
Fresh from his turn as the
preposterous Malvolio in
Twelfth Night over on Radio 4,
Toby Jones takes on arguably
Shakespeare’s greatest comic
creation in Falstaff and gives
another joyous, poignant
performance. In an introduction
to the production, which is
adapted and directed by Sally
Avens, Jones says that what he
really loves about Henry IV Part
2 is the “desire for life” the play
conveys. Falstaff, ailing though
he is, embodies that desire in a
tale of ageing and kingship,
with, in Jones’s words, “an
autumnal feel”. SIMON O’HAGAN

The Warsaw Ghetto —
History as Survival
1.45pm Radio 4
Emanuel Ringelblum was a
historian who during the Second
World War was one of half a
million Jews forced to live in the
Warsaw Ghetto — a walled city
within a city (above) from which
deportations to concentration
camps accounted for hundreds
of thousands of lives.
Ringelblum saw the importance
of recording the truth about
daily life in the Ghetto, and so
founded an extraordinary
project — the Oyneg Shabes,
contributions to which from a
group of the 60 or so writers
Ringelblum recruited are the
basis of this remarkable series.
Elliot Levey is the voice of
Ringelblum, and there is
narration by Anton Lesser.
SIMON O’HAGAN
Radio 3 in Concert
7.30pm Radio 3
Sir John Eliot Gardiner launched
his musical career back in 1964,
while still a Cambridge history
student, by forming his own
choir specifically to perform
Monteverdi’s Vespers. But
Bach has always been his true
patron saint: he even grew up
with the famous Haussmann
portrait of the Thomaskantor
hanging in the family home.
So, having marked Bach’s
250th anniversary with a
globe-trotting Bach Cantata
Pilgrimage in 2000, it’s fitting
that he should tonight
celebrate his own 80th birthday
with the composer’s summatory
masterpiece, the Mass in B
minor. MARK PAPPENHEIM

In the Studio
11.30am/10.30pm
BBC World Service
Sonic artist Lawrence Abu
Hamdan playfully labels himself
as a Private Ear, a detective who
examines the aural landscape
for truths hidden from view.
But there’s a serious point — his
investigations have been used
as evidence at the UK Asylum
and Immigration Tribunal, and
by organisations such as
Amnesty International. His
2022 piece Air Pressure details
the sonic disturbance of Israeli
military aircraft flying over
Lebanese airspace. As a new
exhibition opens in New York,
Eliza Lomas follows him as he
prepares for a performance of a
piece that explores sonic
memory and how we encode
events in our brain through
sound. This is one programme
that should linger long in your
mind. DAVID CRAWFORD
Great Lives
4.30pm Radio 4
Frank Zappa (1940—93) “didn’t
write love songs”. This is quite
an understatement from
comedian John Robins. But it
was precisely Zappa’s
weirdness, and the variety,
complexity and humour of his
music, that grabbed Robins’s
attention when young. Neither
Zappa nor his “rag-tag group of
freaks”, the Mothers of
Invention, ever had a big hit — at
least in the UK. An exception
might be the album Hot Rats,
which reached number 9 in
1970. But what a truly great life.
NB: It includes imprisonment.

TODAY’S CHOICES
WEDNESDAY
Radio
Bringing Up Britain
8.00pm Radio 4
The long-running series now
hosted by psychologist Anjula
Mutanda (above) that explores
myriad aspects of parenting
today starts a new run with a
sortie into the culture wars.
Gender identity issues have
to be some of the most
contentious any parent will face
with their children — so what’s
the best way to talk about
them? Mutanda and guests
including the BBC’s gender
correspondent Lauren Moss
and Shereen Benjamin from
University of Edinburgh (who
has been vilified by students
for her views on women-only
spaces), try to find consensus
over the facts about sex versus
gender and the competing
orthodoxies there are about
the developmental impact of a
child exploring their gender
identity, and the role of parents,
teachers and peers. If they can
provide calm, measured
guidance, they should be
applauded. DAVID CRAWFORD
Jamie MacDonald —
Life on the Blink
11.00pm Radio 4
Blind comedian Jamie
MacDonald’s first national radio
series aired in 2021 and dealt with
the degenerative disease that
left him blind in his teens. “I have
unfettered access”, he told us,
“to a vein of comedy denied to
other comedians.” After years
on the comedy circuit and
BBC Scotland, MacDonald had
perfected his self-deprecating
and often revelatory jokes
about how he’s treated by the
sighted world. In the new series
he brings us up to date with his
adventures over the past two
years. He’s been on several TV
shows — including Have I Got
News For You, which produced
JACK PEILOW
a Twitterstorm of complaints
about the picture round.

Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of
a World Without Democracy, Slobodian says:
“Look at a map of the world and you’ll see a
neat patchwork of nation-states. But this is
not where power actually resides. From the
1990s onwards, globalisation has shattered
the map, leading to an explosion of new legal
entities: tax havens, free ports, city-states,
gated enclaves and special economic zones.
These new spaces are freed from ordinary
forms of regulation, taxation and mutual
obligation.” Producer Jayne Egerton Rptd Sun 12.15am

All Those Women
12.30pm/5.30pm R4 Extra
Remember Mum, the hit TV
gentle comedy starring Lesley
Manville as a single woman of a
certain age about to enter a
new chapter, constantly
surrounded by members of her
family? Well, here, Manville’s
character Maggie has been
seemingly deserted not
widowed, but otherwise we’re
on familiar territory. Her
relationship wobble inspires
her mother Hetty, daughter
Jen and grand-daughter Emily
to move in with her and provide
support in return for a
casserole. All four characters
are sharply drawn, with Sheila
Hancock (above) inevitably
stealing the show and all the
best lines as the wise matriarch
dishing out advice and bons
mots, telling her daughter,
“Margaret, you could have
married anyone.” “Could I?”
“No, of course not, it’s just what
people say.” An easy listen in
four episodes. CAROLINE FROST
Crossing Continents
11.00am Radio 4
At a time when we’re more
aware than ever of little-known
and threatened languages, this
programme is bound to spark
interest. Kaaps? The language,
related to Afrikaans, is spoken
mainly by the community in the
Cape Flats/die Kaapse Vlakte
area of Cape Town in South
Africa. It has unfortunate
connotations, being associated
formerly with white supremacy
during the apartheid era and
now with gangster culture.
Presenter Lindsay Johns
unpacks a more surprising
development. Activists
including hip-hop artists are on
a mission to reclaim Kaaps as an
integral element of a formerly
disenfranchised people. A rare
chance to hear Kaaps spoken by
native speakers.

— used as a tool of white supremacy during
the apartheid era, with stigma attached to
it. But a new movement led by hip-hop
artists and activists is seeking to change
that perception, reclaiming Afrikaaps and
restoring the linguistic, cultural and racial

people. Lindsay Johns reports.

Radio
Drama: An Eye for a
Killing
2.15pm Radio 4
The names Burke and Hare are
so infamous, you might think
you know all about the
19th-century grave robbers.
Except that while supplying
cadavers to the medical
establishment in Edinburgh,
they never actually dug up any
bodies. Killed 16 people, yes;
robbed graves, no. This
atmospheric and chilling drama
documentary starts at almost
the end, with the 1828 trial of
William Burke (above) for the
murder of an old woman, with
his accomplice William Hare as
the prosecution’s key witness.
Various academics expand on
the background to Burke and
Hare’s ten-month killing spree,
while Jack Lowden, so good as
Kent villain Kenneth Noye in
TV’s The Gold, reverts to his
native Scottish accent to
narrate the tale, complete with
a Taggart-esque use of
“murrder”. A box set of longer
episodes is available on BBC
Sounds from today.

7.30pm Radio 3
The Baroque party pieces in
tonight’s Academy of Ancient
Music concert reveal six leading
composers of the time acting
much like children’s birthday-
party entertainers when they
try to show how many animal
shapes they can make by
twisting coloured balloons
together. Here, it’s a case of
how many sounds of the
outside world — from farmyard
animals and peals of bells, to
drunken soldiers and the din of
battle — the composers can
evoke through such techniques
as col legno and pizzicato
playing, and even slipping
pieces of paper beneath the
strings to recreate a snare

SAVING
THE EARTH
Author and government adviser Peter Frankopan reveals
how lessons from the past can help safeguard our future
Book of the Week: The Earth Transformed
Monday—Friday 9.45am Radio 4
ETER FRANKOPAN IS fractionally late
for our Zoom call. He’s been held up
talking to the Government but apol-
ogises profusely. Juggling matters of
national importance with press
junkets is all in a day’s work for this
prolific polymath, who combines his job as
Professor of Global History at Oxford University
with roles as a hotelier and author. At one time,
he even played for the Croatian cricket team.
His latest endeavour is The Earth Trans-
formed, an ambitious, 700-page history of our
relationship with the environment. A riveting –
at times uncomfortable – read, it chronicles how
nature shaped civilisations, and how civilisa-
tions altered it in turn. “It’s probably fair to say
that I was more pessimistic at the end of writing
than I was at the beginning,” he tells me.
Frankopan is perhaps best known for his 2015
blockbuster book The Silk Roads, which received
130
rave reviews and challenged previous percep-
tions of world history, addressing the contribu-
tion of the Persian Empire to the rise of the
West. He hopes that The Earth Transformed will
be similarly influential, helping to shape public
policy and raise awareness of the climate crisis.
‘It’s fair to say I was
more pessimistic at
the end of writing it’
P E T E R F R A N K O PA N
One simple example is the clothes we
wear. “Each pair of jeans requires
seven and a half thousand litres of
water to manufacture – that’s an adult
human’s water consumption for seven
years,” says Frankopan. “When you
buy clothes off the rack, the level of
education about the impact on the
environment isn’t really there,
partly because it’s not taught in schools. It’s not
part of a syllabus, it’s a sort of niche subject.
“Environmental historians, of whom there are
many, find it difficult to break through and get
their voices heard. But, because of the success of
The Silk Roads, I’m lucky to have a platform.”
Who from history does Frankopan think
might have taken decisive action? “A Byzantine
emperor called Alexius I. He was a man who was
good in a crisis. He had multiple spears being
thrown at him in all directions and was able to
ride things out by setting out a vision, working
out how to execute it and getting on with it”.
One of the particularly striking things
about his latest book is the way
Frankopan draws on history, science
and literature to piece together a
fuller story of the past. “There’s a
huge amount of new material
available to historians in terms of
science. Plant sciences, biologi-
cal sciences, geological sciences,
even genetics and genomics,
RadioTimes 22–28 April 2023

GREEN PLANET
A digitally created image that
encapsulates the fragile links
between land and oceans
MAKE DO AND MEND
A pair of jeans requires
7,500 litres of water
to manufacture, so
make them last
they give these incredible new ways of looking at
the past. It’s like being released into a sweet shop
with vast amounts of sweets.”
Talking to Frankopan is rather like that, too.
Or perhaps it’s more akin to devouring diverse
parts of an encyclopedia at breakneck speed as
he reveals his huge breadth of knowledge. One
minute he’s relaying the involvement of Mexican
cartels in avocado farming, the next he’s talking
about the sports comedy Ted Lasso.
All this information works magic in The Earth
Transformed, peppering the sometimes harrow-
ing subject matter with fascinating diversions.
Frankopan is pleased when I mention how
RadioTimes 22–28 April 2023
much I enjoyed an unexpected paragraph about
the history of tattooing.
“Those are my favourite bits,” he says. “I
love all of those. I’m like a little magpie
gathering all those nuggets because it lightens
how you read it. Good history should be read-
able. And it should also make you smile from
time to time.”
T
HESE ASIDES SHOULD help readers
digest some of the frightening truths in
The Earth Transformed, such as the
£20 billion-worth of food we throw
away every year in the UK alone; or that the
impact of particulate pollution on life expec-
tancy globally is 89 times that of terrorism and
conflict. Yet despite the evidence, there’s still a
disconnect between day-to-day life and a rela-
tionship to the wider environment.
Frankopan points out that it’s
existed for centuries.
“Four thousand years ago, people
were having to source things from
other parts of the world,” he says.
“Trade connections are ultimately
all about where you can get things
that you don’t have and where
you can get them at the cheapest
possible price. And if you’re getting
them from far away, you’re proba-
bly not that interested or worried
about the ecological consequences.”
One way to get his point across
might be to turn the book into a
documentary series – or two. “I’d
love to have one for young people,
to explain how science and the
humanities fit together and have
some case studies,” he says.
“I could also see a multi-episode
series spanning from the beginning
until today. I’d love it because it
would mean that more people
could engage in discussions about
how we think about the past and
what that knowledge should teach
us about the present and future.”
Adding a couple of documentary
series to an already herculean
workload might be too much for
most people, but luckily Frankopan has a recipe
for his immense productivity. “Lots of coffee and
occasional glasses of red wine,” he reveals. “Get
the balance right and it’s amazing what you can
achieve.” AMANDA HYDE

A literary kind

Re-acquaint yourself with
detective Adam Dalgliesh
DEATH OF AN EXPERT
WITNESS PD JAMES
Dalgliesh Thursday,
Friday 9.00pm Channel 5
After a successful first series
on Channel 5, PD James’s
detective/poet Adam Dalgliesh (played
by Bertie Carvel) returns with three more
cases to solve, Death of an Expert Witness
(Faber & Faber, £8.99) being the first.
Called to the Fens to solve the murder of
a forensic biologist, Commander Dalgliesh
must face suspects who know exactly how
to cover up a crime against a hated
colleague. James’s slow unravelling of her
mysteries is a far cry from the fast-paced
crime novels of today, and all the more
intriguing for it. See feature page 18
BIRDS JIM MOIR
Painting Birds with
Jim and Nancy Moir
Wednesday 9.00pm Sky Arts
Although he is best known
for his work as comedian Vic
Reeves, in recent years Jim Moir has left
his alter ego behind in favour of pursuing
his first love — art. A prolific painter, his
irreverence and quirkiness often shine out
of his artwork, but he also has a softer side
that appears in his many depictions
of birds. Brought together for the first
time in a coffee table book format, Birds
(Unbound, £14.99) compiles 100 of his
paintings of British ornithology in all their
simplistic beauty.

SMALL IS
BEAUTIFUL
With careful planning, even a tiny garden
can be a sight to behold, says Joe Swift
GARDEN DESIGN IS SEEN by
some as fancy. For me, it’s an
essential process to make the
most of your outside space.
If you stick with a poor design,
you can end up wasting years
developing a garden that ulti-
mately frustrates you. Can you imagine spend-
ing that much time redecorating a room and still
being defeated?
The best small gardens are often super-sim-
ple. I appreciate most of us aren’t likely to dash
out and redesign from scratch, but even a lawn
reshape has a knock-on effect and should be
considered as part of a long-term “masterplan”.
Here are some things I like to consider when
designing a small garden…
ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY?
There are probably only one or two potential
GAP; ALAMY
areas for seating. Do you prefer to sit in the sun
or the shade? Where do you feel most comforta-
ble? Walk around your garden and decide on
132
your spot. A single large terrace is often more
practical and versatile than two small ones.
Privacy can often be an issue, but a strategically
placed shrub or the addition of some simple
screening will resolve that.
ENHANCING THE VIEW
More often than not, a garden will be viewed
year-round from inside your home, which may
influence where you position features and/or
ornamentation. Creating a foreground with
planting can make a huge difference. Wherever
possible, create planting opportunities – gaps in
paving, say – for wispy perennials and grasses
close to windows.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Choose pale gravel or paving stones to help
bounce available light around. It’s particularly
important in a shady garden. I rarely use more
than two surface types – selected from paving,
brick, decking and gravel – in a small space.
Measuring precisely how they might be laid out
saves money and elimi-
nates the need for cutting
or awkward joints.
THINK BIG
Small gardens mean lots of
small plants and small pots,
right? Nope. This can lead to a
fussy space with all the action going
on around knee level. Fewer larger items
make more impact, and the closer you
can bring them up to eye level the
better – place ornament on pedes-
tals, for example, or hanging on
boundaries. A small garden will
benefit from a few large and/or
tall plants, too, adding volume.
Use your boundaries to grow
climbers – these trick the eye,
making the garden feel bigger.

spot what they’ve seen – 15, no, 20 elephants, of

clump of grass – so close you can see the gentle
fuzz of hair between its delightful Dumbo ears.

MIND THE
PENSION GAP
You have until July to top up missing National
Insurance contributions, says Paul Lewis
T
HERE IS GOOD news if
you have gaps in your
National Insurance
contributions record,
as the Government has
just given you extra time to fill
them – extending the deadline to
pay missing contributions volun-
tarily until 31 July.
Going as far back as 2006/07,
the concession applies to people
who reached state pension age
‘Each year will
give you an
extra pension
of £302’
from April 2016 onwards. That
means men born on – or after –
6 April 1951 and women born on –
or after – 6 April 1953.
It’s not easy to work out if it’s
worthwhile or not, but if your state
pension – after it went up in April
– is less than £203.85 a week then
it may well be. And if you have
fewer than 30 years of National
Insurance contributions before
2016/17 and some of those gaps
were in 2006/07 to 2015/16, then it
is almost certainly worth doing.
Even if you have slightly more than
EMMA LYNCH
that – 31 to 34 years – it might be
worth considering. This also
applies if your total contributions
136
cover fewer than 35 years. Then it
probably makes sense to plug any
gaps you have from 2016/17.
As an added complication, a
separate set of rules means that if
you paid into a good final-salary
company pension before 2016, it
will be important to top up from
2016/17 if you can. Of course, if you
have worked or got credits for those
years, then there is no point in
paying for what you already have.
The cost of filling the gaps is
£824.20 per year although for
2020/21 and 2021/22 it’s slightly
less. Each year you fill should give
you an extra pension of around
£5.80 a week – £302 a year – so
the payback time for your extra
contributions is quite short.
A
LAS, THIS OPPORTUNITY
only exists for younger
pensioners and I am sorry
the rules are so complicated!
However, you can find out more
from paullewismoney.blogspot.
com – search “fill that gap” – as well
as from gov.uk, keying in “volun-
tary national insurance”, which will
help you see if it’s worthwhile and
how to pay. If you get stuck, call the
Government’s Future Pension
Centre on 0800 731 0175.

GUIDE
ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
WITH EQUITY RELEASE
Could you book the holiday of a lifetime or make
home improvements by unlocking tax-free cash?
If you’re looking to boost your finances, you might be able to unlock the
value that’s built up in your property as a tax-free lump sum of cash.
Radio Times has partnered with Age Partnership+, part of the UK’s
number one equity release adviser*, to bring you an equity release
service. If you’re a homeowner aged 55 and over, their team are
available to explore your options and tell you everything you need to
know about equity release, including the effect on the amount of
inheritance you can leave and if your entitlement to means-tested
benefits could be affected now or in the future.
With a no-obligation personalised illustration they will help you
understand the features and risks, and explain that equity release may
involve a lifetime mortgage, which is secured against your property, or
a home reversion plan. Equity release requires paying off any existing
mortgage, and any money released, plus accrued interest would be
repaid upon death or moving into long-term care.
Plus, your FREE Radio Times guide to equity release, written by RT’s
Paul Lewis, can help explain more about how equity release works, and if
it could be right for you.

THE INSIDE TRACK
Hugh Laurie on
the joys of 1930s
motoring
One of the TV treats of
the Easter holiday was the
three-part adaptation of Agatha
Christie’s Why Didn’t They Ask
Evans?, going out over
successive nights on ITV1 after
premiering last April on BritBox.
Unlike Sarah Phelps’s dark
twists on Christie whodunnits over
recent years, Hugh Laurie — who
adapted, directed and played
Dr Nicholson in the drama — stayed
very close to the original. But as he
told Samira Ahmed on Front Row
(3 April Radio 4), he did make small
tweaks. To allude to the setting in
the aftermath of a traumatic war,
he decided Dr Thomas, for example,
had lost a leg at Passchendaele.
But essentially this is a classic
Christie. Fans on Twitter called for
Laurie to adapt more books by the
Queen of Crime, with one declaring,
“You can just feel his love and
respect for the books.”
One of the delights of the series
is its authentic period look — in
particular the 1930s cars. “It was an
incredible period of engineering,

slightly upsetting as his grandfather
actually started the company — he
was Mr Standard. But he ended up
saying, ‘Maybe it’s not such a bad
way for it to go, going out in a blaze
of glory.’ But we are going to bring
it back to life, that’s my promise.
“We also had a Model T Ford that
took us a couple of hours to start.
But I don’t think you can blame
a 100-year-old car for being a little
slow to get going in the morning.

PARADISE FIXED
It was great at the end of Beyond

(Kris Marshall) back where he
belongs, on Saint Marie. But he
should swap places with Neville
(who surely deserves a break from
all those allergies), while actor
Sally Bretton should leg it back to

 VIEW FROM MY SOFA
BETH
RIGBY
Sky’s political editor recalls
memorable interviews — and
what it’s like to be the story
What’s the view from your sofa?
It’s my much-beloved mid-century
modern sideboard, which is full of
rubbish. On the wall is my mum’s old
school sign – she was a headteacher. She
died a few years ago and I found it in my
dad’s garage. It’s my favourite possession
and it hangs just above my second
favourite possession, my TV.
So what’s usually on your TV?
I watch a lot of news – obviously! I also
love watching cookery programmes at
the weekend. I use television as a way to
switch off, so I binge-watch a lot of box
sets. It can be dangerous – Slow Horses
ruined me for a week because I would
stay up watching it until 3am.
Who controls the remote in your home?
Not me. It goes child one, child two,
[my husband] Angelo and then me.
What was it like seeing yourself on
screen for the first time?
I hated it – and I still do. It’s difficult
because you should watch yourself back
for your craft. I’m really critical and
I always think that I could have done
an interview better.
Do you think female broadcasters
face more scrutiny — and backlash
— than their male counterparts?
Sometimes if I’m robust in an interview,
I might get criticised. I’ll watch a male
contemporary do pretty much the same
thing and it’s seen as completely OK.
When it first happened, I was trending
on Twitter because I’d asked Boris
Johnson a question at a press
conference, and it had been very
robust. I’m sitting there thinking,
“The guy wants to be prime minister.
SUKI DHANDA; CAMERA PRESS
My job is to ask him difficult questions
because he wants to lead the country.
He’s going to have to handle world
leaders, to deal with President Xi and
Vladimir Putin. Come on!” It upset me,
but as time went on, I realised it just
comes with the territory.
NEXT WEEK IN RADIO TIMES The countdown to the coronation begins…

What about Westminster? Is that still
a man’s world?
When I joined Westminster, it definitely
felt like a boys’ club and I was an
outsider. It reminded me of how it felt
when I first went to Cambridge because
I hadn’t come from a private school.
There are male networks – but it’s also
true that there are many more female
politicians than when I started. We have
female networks, a women’s lobby group
and women-in-Westminster drinks – the
great thing is when Laura Kuenssberg,
Pippa Crerar and other senior female
journalists turn up to those things.
Having been part of the story yourself
— after attending Kay Burley’s party
while there were lockdown restrictions
— has that changed the way you
approach interviews?
Beth Rigby Interviews… is a longform
interview – the idea isn’t to try to pull
out a clip to put on social media which
goes viral and gets six million hits. The
point is to have a wider conversation.
Sometimes it happens – not from you
– but a section gets picked up by
someone else and it gets cascaded in

a way that the interviewee doesn’t want.
MY LIFE Of course, I feel bad about that.
IN TV In terms of being part of the story,
it did give me a perspective about what
it’s like to be in the eye of a storm and
how that might feel. I think it probably
made me a better interviewer when
