hearted comedy drama
The Larkins, starring Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan as sunny 1950s
country couple Pop and Ma, for a second season is ‘perfick’ timing.
As we rejoin the action, with their eldest daughter, Mariette ( Joelle
Rae, who has taken over the role from Sabrina Bartlett), married off to
Cedric ‘Charley’ Charlton (Tok Stephen), the spotlight falls on younger
sister Primrose (Lydia Page), who is about to leave school and is smitten
by a dishy new arrival in the (fictional) Kentish village of Littlechurch.
However, there’s also a rare but threatening cloud on the horizon in
the form of troublesome posh London couple the Jerebohms, who buy a
crumbling mansion from Pop, and are soon the bane of everyone’s life.
TV Times caught up with the irrepressible Bradley, 62, to find
out what adventures await in the new six-part run…

It’s now the summer of 1959.
Where do we find the Larkin
clan at the start of this series?
Mariette and Charley are still
on honeymoon, and Primrose
is leaving school and finds a
love interest in the new vicar
[Reverend Ian Candy, portrayed
by Sanditon star Maxim Ays]. Pop
and Ma have new neighbours,
Pinkie and Cuthbert Jerebohm,
played by Morgana Robinson and
Julian Rhind-Tutt, who will
create a massive problem.
What are the Jerebohms like?
They’ve bought this dilapidated
house, Bluff Court, from Pop at
a premium, because Pinkie was
desperate to live there. She’s a bit
of a femme fatale, and invites Pop
and Ma round there for a very
awkward dinner party!

Is wheeler-dealer Pop up
to his old tricks?
From the proceeds of the house

swimming pool that everyone

Oh, and he also buys a fair!
Can we expect to see
more of the Larkins’
famous hospitality?
Yes! They hold a fete

with events like

device whereby
they can say,

NICHOLAS RALPH tells
TV Times about the
dilemmas facing vet
James Herriot in the
season finale...

A

THU, 9PM, CHANNEL 5 DRAMA

fter marrying his sweetheart
Helen and being promoted to
junior partner at the Skeldale
House veterinary practice, life
for James Herriot should be
blissful in All Creatures Great and Small.
However, in this week’s poignant seasonthree finale, the newly-wed is in turmoil…
During the current run of Channel 5’s
heart-warming period drama, the vet,
played by Nicholas Ralph, has been involved
in the Government’s vital but controversial
bovine tuberculosis testing scheme. But
when James discovers a positive case on a
farm, he is torn over where his loyalties lie.
Meanwhile, as World War Two looms, he
has tough choices to make about the future.
TV Times caught up with the always-lovely
Nicholas, 32, for an exclusive interview to
find out what lies ahead for his character…
6 TV TIMES

It sounds like there’s a lot going on
in the finale…
There really is! A lot of things come to a
head. James is coming to a breaking point
and the heat has really turned up for him.
But it feels like all the characters are being
strained in different ways than we have seen
before. It was interesting as an actor to play,
and I hope it will be for viewers to watch.
James faces a decision over whether
to abide by the rules of the TB testing
scheme or to help a farmer, doesn’t he?
Tuberculosis comes closer to home in the
finale and puts James in a difficult position
over his personal and professional feelings.
It’s a huge responsibility. TB is about the
health of not only the surrounding area, but
the nation. He is stuck between a rock and a
hard place. Ultimately, he knows what he has
to do and we’ll see if he goes through with it…
Do you like the fact that James always
wants to do the right thing?
Absolutely. It’s what I loved about the
character as soon as I was reading the first

scripts three years ago. James is so patient,
understanding and compassionate, but he
also has a backbone. He’ll stand up to people
over what’s right, especially when animals’
health or wellbeing is being overlooked or
if he sees injustice. But that leads him into
moral conundrums and difficult situations.
James’ wife Helen, played by Rachel
Shenton, is a huge support to him…
Yes, they have become a team, which is fun
to play. It’s no longer ‘I’, it’s ‘We’ and, ‘What
do we do about it? We have to fix that.’
With the tuberculosis testing, we’ve seen
them work together. James isn’t good at the
administrative side and Helen has helped
out with that. But it’s a divisive subject and
she can see it from both sides.
World War Two is looming nearer in
the finale and Helen and head vet
Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West) don’t
want James to sign up. But how do
you think James feels?
There’s mounting pressure at seeing these
young men preparing to fight in the war and

Great team: Married
couple Helen and James

Were you able to look into what
it was like for vets at the time,
like James, who were
working in a reserved
occupation and didn’t
have to go to war?
Yes, we read various articles
that we were sharing among
ourselves. A lot of it was to do
with what careers were protected.
But we also did research into how it was
for people – some signed up because of
shame or pressure, or because siblings
or close friends signed up.
People were getting stick and worse in
certain communities. Some of the slightly
older members of the cast actually had
stories that they’d been told, so that was

invaluable when
we were having
these discussions.

We’ve also got a Christmas special to
look forward to again this year. Can
you give us any teasers?
Well, there was a snow cannon used during
filming! It’s wonderfully Christmassy and
there’s so much story crammed into it.
It’s classic All Creatures in
that it’s very funny but there’s
a lot of drama.
The world is moving on, too
– it’s late 1939 – so that plays
a part in it, and it’s touching.
I think it will warm people and
make them laugh but they might also have
a tear in their eye – hopefully a happy tear!

‘JAMES IS
COMING TO A
BREAKING
POINT…’

And can you tell us what might be
coming up in the fourth series?
Well, we normally head up there [to
Yorkshire, where the show is shot] in
February, but we don’t begin filming until
the start of March. I know the team are in

the writers’ room for
season four now and I’ve
been chatting with some
of them. I get told very
little, though, so I have no idea what’s to
come but I’m super-excited!
Finally, you’ve played James since
the revival hit our screens in 2020.
What has it meant to you to have
this as your first TV role?
It is hard to put into words, I just feel so
grateful. I’m surrounded by these brilliant
actors like Samuel and Anna Madeley
[housekeeper Mrs Hall] and it’s been
a wonderful learning curve.
I’m just continuing to enjoy it and I love the
character of James. He is always developing
and changing, he’s a deep thinker and a
deep feeler. As an actor, that’s great, and
I love researching the period and what’s
going on in the world. So it’s been a joy
and I’m looking forward to doing more!

T

he jewel in the crown of Emmerdale
Emmerdale’s
’s
50th-anniversary
50th
anniversary storylines reaches
reaches
our screens this week. On the day of
Kim Tate’s nuptials to Will Taylor, a
huge storm hits the village, causing
mammoth destruction and changing lives for ever.
In
n the third of our exclusive interviews to mark
the ITV soap’s golden milestone, TV Times caught
up with star Claire King, 60, to get the inside story
on Kim’s windy wedding and to reflect on her
many memorable years in the Dales…

Soap

Her mood isn’t as sparkling as the
champagne, is it?
No, Kim has caught Will and Harriet having
a close conversation and a kiss, and she
suspects Harriet is trying to wheedle her
way back into Will’s affection. Harriet
doesn’t seem to be done yet, so Kim is still
wary of her as she arrives at the wedding.
Is Kim frightened of losing Will?
Absolutely. For the first time since Dave
Glover, she is totally in love. The relationship
is based on mutual respect and trust, and she
doesn’t usually have a lot of that in her life.
Kim is a tough businesswoman and
she’s very honest, sometimes to the point
of rudeness. Will doesn’t take it like a
doormat, and it’s a similar thing with Lydia.
Tell us about the storm Kim is caught
up in, and what it was like to film…
Sam and Lydia come to the reception and
say, ‘Harriet’s gone looking for Amelia
because she’s about to give birth and she’s
lost in the woods.’ Trees are down and you
can’t take a 4x4 out, so Kim suggests she
goes on her horse to look for Amelia.
We had a lot of large wind machines that
were very powerful, so I was stuck in the
middle of the woods, having all sorts of seed
pods, dirt, fern and leaves blown at me.
I ended up getting a seed pod stuck up my
nose! It was there for about a week but
I didn’t know until it went septic and
I had to have antibiotics.
At least one person is set to die
in the storm – how would Kim
react if it was Will?
She would be heartbroken;
it would destroy her. I think
she would never trust
anyone again.
And if he doesn’t die,
can they live happily
ever after?
Kim’s going to have to
work through the issues
they have surrounding the
marriage, and see if they

can work more as a
team. I can see them
lasting, but they’ve
got to sort things out.
You joined
Emmerdale in
1989 and left a
decade later,
before returning
in 2018. How
has the show
changed over
the years?
It’s three times the
workload and not three times the pay! And
in the old days, the big storyline would be,
‘Annie’s scones are going to burn!’ Now, it’s
a series of cliffhangers and you finish one
storyline and you’re straight into another
disaster or something.
What do you remember of
your audition process and
Kim’s early days?
The Tates were the last of the
old and the first of the new,
because we were cast when
the show was Emmerdale
Farm and then it changed
shortly afterwards to
Emmerdale [in 1989]. They
were a ‘nouveau riche’
family and I think they were
supposed to be southerners, but we
all deviated to Yorkshire in the end.
Kim was lady of the manor and loved
horses, and I had to be able to ride to do
the part, which was probably why I got
the job, as I was more experienced at
riding than acting at the time!

Horsing around:
Kim makes quite an entrance
ahead of her wedding
One of the most iconic scenes was
when Kim left Frank Tate to die after
his heart attack. Is that a favourite?
That sticks out, along with the Dave/Frank/
Kim love triangle and Frank walking in on
Dave and Kim in bed and saying, ‘What
do you call this, Dave? Overtime?!’
Obviously, there was the plane crash as
well [in 1993] and then
coming back in the Aston
Martin in 2018, wearing
that blue dress, and falling
into a champagne fountain.
I’ve been very lucky that
they’ve given me some
memorable moments.

‘KIM GETS AWAY
WITH MURDER
– LITERALLY
– WHICH YOU
COULDN’T DO
IN REAL LIFE’

You’ve previously said you deliberately
decided to make her a ‘soap bitch’...
Yes, because the character of Lynn Whiteley
[played by Fionnuala Ellwood], who was the
only ‘bitch’ at the
time, had gone.
And also
Dynasty and
Dallas were
doing it and
we hadn’t
really got
that sort of
character in
the UK, so I
thought, ‘Come
Classic moments: Kim’s
return in 2018 (above) and on, we can camp it
her 1996 love triangle with up a bit here!’ It’s
husband Frank and lover Dave not real life, really;
it’s escapism
that takes people
away from the
dismal lives we
are all leading at
the moment.

What reaction do you
get from the public?
Kim’s like Marmite – you either love her or
hate her. Or you love to hate her! When I
came back four years ago, there was a whole
new generation who didn’t know Kim, so
you have to overcome that. Some people
don’t like new characters because they
don’t like change, and they particularly
don’t like nasty characters.
But everyone loves a baddie at the end of
the day. People love Kim as she says and
does things and gets away with murder –
literally – which you couldn’t do in real life.
Is Kim the best character you have
ever played in your career?
Well, she’s kind of part of me now, so I’d
have to say yes. I’d done quite a bit of theatre
before Emmerdale, but this was the role that
made me a bit of a household name – not
that I like that sort of thing, as I’m quite
private. It was my first major role, and
I feel very affectionate towards her.
Do you think Kim will still be here
when Emmerdale turns 60?
I doubt very much that I’ll still be here if
they keep me working at this rate! I think
Kim might be having a business trip soon;
I need a break. Chas, Cain and Kim all need
a holiday together as we’ve been full at it. That
would be an interesting one, wouldn’t it?!

Kim has been planning her wedding
for months and isn’t short of cash –
is it vintage champagne all round?
Absolutely, and with her and Will’s name
on the bottle! It’s quite a spectacle. She
gets married in the church and arrives on
horseback in an equestrian-themed outfit
– it’s one of those iconic looks that Kim
likes to have for entrances and exits.
Everyone is invited, but she has golden
ticket holders and silver ticket holders – the
gold tickets are for the preferred guests.
There’s a reception planned at Home Farm
but as she and Will come out of the church,
the storm picks up and things go awry…

aren’t in shot. And our scenic
artists put black felt on the
windows, which makes it look
like the glass has smashed.’
An unexpected
consequence of the
storm is a cow
stampede, caused
when a barn at
Butlers Farm
collapses. This was
created by filming
the cattle as they
left their pen and rushed to get
to their food, which had been
carefully placed on a feed hopper.
‘Of course, there was a bit of
trickery as we used something
we called a cow-cam,’ reveals
Duncan. ‘An amazing company
called Animated Extras created
a cow’s head that could be
puppeteered. This enables the
audience to see from a cow’s
point of view.’

Emmerdale
has had its fair share of stunts
over the years, and Duncan was
involved in last year’s Super Soap
Week, which featured a ropebridge collapse
and a ‘maize maze’
fire. His CV also
boasts collapsing
a full-size pier on
ITV period drama
The Royal. So how
does this compare?
‘It was actually
more complicated, because of the
speed we work at and the level
we have to achieve,’ he admits.
‘I’ve had a lot of compliments
– Chris Chittell, who plays
Pollard, saw Main Street and
was like, “Oh my God!”
‘When I’m not working in telly, I

What were your first impressions

SHIRLEY
HIRLEY I loved the danger
of it, the delicate quality,
the sense of the unknown.
I was very surprised to be
offered the role, though!
I don’t think I’ve ever had
this big a part in a TV
show, where I’m in almost
every scene – I was really
nervous about it!
CRAIG
RAIG I found it immediately
intriguing. When I read the

scripts, I initially thought it was going to
be one thing, and then it morphed into
something else completely. Also, Shirley
is one of my favourite actors, so, as soon
as her name was mentioned, I couldn’t
turn the job down.

HIRLEY Claudia initially
recognises the sadness in these

Maybe if she just sat down

She also hasn’t got anybody to talk to about

George is doing. But he’s also
concerned about Claudia’s obsessive
nature. She goes down this rabbit
hole, which he feels isn’t very healthy.
That’s what makes this drama so
intriguing – there’s odd behaviour
from a lot of characters, so it keeps
you guessing.
How challenging did you find
shooting such an emotional series?
SHIRLEY
HIRLEY Sometimes I’d sit on the
pavement between scenes
just to get my thoughts
together and run the lines in
my head. Wondering how to
bring to life a character that
has lots of emotional scenes
is always challenging, but
getting to have magic
moments with such a brilliant cast and
crew made it all worthwhile.
CRAIG
RAIG I find it very easy to shake
everything off once we’ve stopped filming
for the day – it’s the build-up that’s tricky
for me. A couple of days before we shoot,
I start going over every scene in my head,
worrying about making them good!

CRAIG
RAIG As a parent, I find it very difficult

I always turn the television or radio off.
But this isn’t just a series about a
missing child, it’s also a thriller about
unhealthy obsession.
SHIRLEY
HIRLEY It’s the human condition to be
curious. People are interested in the sad

the thing about our story is that Claudia

This is writer Pete Jackson’s
first TV drama series – what
appealed to you about it?
LEWIS The idea of someone
trapped in one environment and
finding the outside world alien
is so good, because, normally,
it’s a regular person in an
extraordinary world. But, here,
Danny’s an extraordinary
person in an ordinary world.
The show gets dark and sad at
times, but it also has humour
laced throughout.
RORY Yes, the scripts are really
strong and it does a clever thing
of taking this almost absurd
notion and crashing it into

contemporary life. Steve is
experiencing some sort of
psychological dysfunction,
and, as the story plays out, you
realise even more about his past.
We meet Danny and Steve
on what will be their final
night together…
LEWIS Danny is an 18-year-old
who is very happy and very
into romantic comedies and
romantic music. He has been
trapped in this house for years
and he’s curious about the
outside world, which Steve has
told him is full of monsters and
danger. But while Danny loves
his dad, he’s also desperate to
experience things for himself.
RORY Steve has shielded
his son away from society.
He sees it as an act of love
and devotion, but it’s

goes to extraordinary lengths
to keep his deception alive.
How does Danny cope
when he is forced to live
in the real world?
LEWIS He freaks out. He
expects to be killed by a
savage beast within minutes.
He’s never seen anyone else
before and has a panic attack
when he meets Sue and
Aaron, people he never knew
existed. It’s weird seeing him try
to interact with normal people.
Rory, you were born in
Ireland, while Lewis, you
hail from Scotland. How did
you find adopting a Leeds
accent for your roles?
RORY You guys can be the judge
of that! We had a voice coach,
which was useful.
LEWIS A lot of my preparation
was listening to the accent over
and over. The day before we
started, I decided, ‘I’m just going
to be from Leeds and not let the
accent slip!’ My whole method
was a bit Daniel Day-Lewis!

Austin Haynes portrays him

with the other Dannys?
RORY Somewhere Boy can be
bleak, so there was a sense of
levity, play and improv with the
kids that was really enjoyable.

Samuel and Austin. If Rory has

t isn’t unusual for a parent
to want to wrap their child
in cotton wool. But in C4’s
new drama Somewhere
Boy, a grieving father is
taking extreme measures in
a bid to keep his son safe…
Airing in double bills from
Sunday to Wednesday, the eightpart series centres around
18-year-old Danny (Deadwater
Fell’s Lewis Gribben), whose
mum died when he was a baby
and who has since been living in
isolation at a remote farmhouse
with his dad, Steve (Versailles
star Rory Keenan).
Led to believe that monsters
are waiting to take him away if
he steps foot outside, Danny’s
life is turned upside down when
Steve dies suddenly and he’s
taken to live with his stressedout aunt, Sue (Mum’s Lisa
McGrillis), and her shy son,
Aaron (The Teacher’s Samuel
Bottomley), in Leeds, where he
must begin navigating a world
he didn’t know existed.
Here, Lewis and Rory give
TV Times their take on the story…

What was the feedback like
from the first series?
It was really good. It’s a fun
Saturday-night show with lots
of play-along-ability. This series
we’re getting into the action
quicker and going straight into
the lip-sync and music.
I’ll also now be doing a lipsynching performance myself
at the start of every show – I’ve
done everything from Sia to
Dolly Parton!
How are the celebrity
investigators getting
along this time?
What I’ve noticed this series is
that Jimmy, Amanda and Alison
are very competitive with each
other, but it’s all done with love!

Everyone has different opinions
and that’s good for our
contestants as they get a
different angle on things.
Which of the trio is best at
identifying the good singers
from the bad?
I think Jimmy is
ahead on spotting
them. You’d
think it would
be Amanda
as she’s done
lots of West
End shows.
I might be
wrong but
Jimmy seems

The celebrity investigators
are again joined by a
different famous singer
each week, starting with
Spandau Ballet’s Tony
Hadley. Who else have you
got on the bill this time?
We’ve got a great mix,
including Lulu, Becky
Hill and Layton
Williams. There
are music
genres for
everyone.
Each
episode
sees a new
group of six
performers
take to the

stage, and we again won’t
know how many are good or
bad in each batch. What has
the standard been like?
It’s been good for the lipsynching and the bad singers
are better at tricking people!
They’ve already seen a series
now and they know exactly what
to do. At the end of the day, they
are trying to win £10,000 [if a
bad singer fools the contestants,
they walk away with the cash
prize instead], so they’re going
to put the practice in.
We also have some amazing,
talented singers in this series.

show, what would you perform?

‘The panel’s relationship with the
contestants is interesting, because
we really want them to win and some
of them have been so adorable. The
standard has gone up from series
one. The good singers are great but
the bad singers have put so much
work into their lip-synching that
they’ve made it even more difficult.
I think there’s going to be a lot of
shouting at the telly at home.
‘With the celebrity singers, we’ve
had some absolute legends on.
My favourites were Alexandra
Burke – she’s done the show
before and it was great to
have her back – and Tony
Hadley from Spandau Ballet,
I mean, it’s telly gold, if
you’ll pardon the pun!’

‘It’s absolutely lovely being back.
Paddy has definitely upped his role this
year and there’s a treat for everyone at
the beginning of each show.
‘When it comes to guessing the true
singers from the bad singers,
I have no particular strategy!
It’s more difficult this year
as people know the show
and the bad singers are
really good at pretending!
‘For some reason, I get
really competitive
with Jimmy. At
the end of the
show, he’s
always like,
“How many
Phenomenal:

Alexandra Burke
got right?”’

‘In life, you get taught not to judge
a book by its cover and in this show
you’re doing the opposite, but I’d say
it’s 100% tougher this series. All the
tricks we thought we’d nailed, like
spotting someone touching their ear
before they start singing or the way
they hold the microphone, have
gone out the window because people
are really clever now and doing
everything to deliberately throw
us off track and win that money.
‘The celebrity singers were
amazing. One of my favourites was
Layton Williams, who was in the
musical Everybody’s Talking About
Jamie. Alexandra Burke is
phenomenal and seeing Erasure’s
Andy Bell was like a throwback,
because I grew up with that music.’

FRIDAY, 9PM, C4 COMEDY

rom 1985 to 1988, C4’s
comedy showcase
Saturday Live – which
later became Friday
Night Live – was mustwatch TV and made household
names of Harry Enfield, Hugh
Laurie and Stephen Fry as well
as its sparkly-suit-wearing
host, Ben Elton.
Now, as part of C4’s 40thbirthday celebrations, the show
is being revived for a one-off
special, with Ben again acting as
compère and the bill featuring
a mix of comedy legends from

How did the revival begin?
I’ve been the one pushing for it
for ages. The whole world of
modern stand-up came out of
Saturday Live. I often said to C4,
‘Why don’t you celebrate that?
That’s a remarkable show you
did and it changed things.’
Has comedy changed much
since you did Saturday Live?
Not as much as people think.
When we did it back then, City

banker boys were coining it in,
we had a right-wing Tory female

Thatcher] and Cliff Richard was

record [1988’s Mistletoe & Wine].
Literally nothing has changed,
as far as I can see. We’re still
in crisis, we’re still run by the
Tories and Cliff is still rocking
at Christmas!
Which comedy acts will be
performing on this special?
In terms of oldies, Harry Enfield
is back – we agreed that we were
not going to do it unless we both
did it – and Julian Clary.
As for the newbies, I don’t
audition them or pick them. I’ll
meet them on the day.
In 1985, you were an antiestablishment voice. Is it fair
to call you an establishment
figure now?
I was an establishment figure
when I was 22! I had a sitcom on
BBC2 [The Young Ones] – that’s
establishment. I’ve never been

the raving lefty that the Daily

never been the sell-out palepink Tory others want me to be.
What’s needed to make the
show a success again?
It starts with the compère and
I think I was a good compère.
For years, I’ve had to deal with
Saturday Live defining me. I’ve
just published my 16th novel
and it’s still, ‘Sparkly-suited,
Thatcher-bashing comedian
publishes a novel,’ 40 years after
the event. So I had something to
do with the show’s success.
How important is it that
the programme is live?
I think the live element is supercrucial and now more so than
ever because everybody is on
their phones watching prerecorded TikToks. We might
muck up, so we’re certainly
going to be on edge!

British food and drinks producers
dream big as they compete to
supply all of the supermarket
giant’s 960 stores for a year.
Categories range from bakery
and store-cupboard staples to
treats, but this week’s first set
of hopefuls must present their
ideas in the dinner-time heat,
which includes jarred sauces,
ready meals and meal kits.
‘Each week, six producers will
pitch head-to-head but just two
will be selected as finalists, and
only one can win,’ says Anita
Rani, who gets to judge the
inventive products alongside
fellow presenter Chris Bavin
and Julie Ashfield, Aldi UK’s
managing director of buying.
‘It’s emotional – winning this
contract is huge and could
transform these producers’
businesses overnight!’
Here, Anita, 44, and Chris,
42, tell TV Times more…
How would you describe
the format of this show?
CHRIS I think it’s a lot of the
best bits from lots of different
existing formats, like Dragons’
Den, MasterChef and The
Apprentice. But at its heart, it’s
just a lovely story about people’s
journeys from starting their
small businesses to then being
potentially faced with the most
incredible, life-changing order!
To use a football analogy, it’s
like a Sunday-league football
team winning the FA Cup. For
these small food and drink
producers, it doesn’t get much
bigger than this.
ANITA It’s a programme that’s
full of incredible stories and full
of heart. I think it’s got all the
things that we love in TV shows,
including all the drama of
it being a competition.
But ultimately, just seeing

There are some intriguing
food and drink innovations in
the series. Which stood out?
CHRIS All of them were
amazing. But some were quite
unlike anything we’d had before.
So we tried burgers made out of
insects, a chocolate
bar with cheese-andonion crisps in it,
some Yorkshirepudding beer and
even chocolate pasta.
At first you go, ‘This
doesn’t sit right,’
but then you eat
it and you’re like,
‘You’re a genius!’
Did any of the ideas
blow you away in
terms of taste?
ANITA Yes, the Pastry Pédaleur
pastries. This woman called
Stephanie puts a Mumbai spin
on traditional pastries and I’d
never tasted anything like them
before; they were next level.
CHRIS They were just heavenly,
and possibly one of
the greatest things
I’ve eaten. But do
you know what?
Every single
thing we tried
and tasted was
incredible and that’s
testament to all
the small artisan
producers we have
in this country.

It gets quite tense in the
tasting room. How did you
put the contestants at ease?
ANITA We were on everybody’s
side. We weren’t there to catch
anyone out, so we just aimed
for an atmosphere where people
got an opportunity to shine.
CHRIS Although, having said
that, with the best
will in the world,
it’s still a terrifying
process. It doesn’t
matter how
friendly, supportive
and encouraging
we tried to be, it’s
still scary pitching
to Aldi’s managing

– there’s no
getting away from that!

a food or drink idea that you
could see hitting shops?

of food from India that I’d love to
see in the supermarkets here –
it’s Chinese food made for the
Indian palate, which I call
Chindian! You get this spicy
chilli paneer, which is delicious!
CHRIS I’ve invented a pretty
cool sweet arancini with leftover
rice pudding, which I roll into
balls and fry. My kids love it!
What’s the one foodie
product you always put in
your supermarket trolley?
ANITA Packets of noodles.
Sometimes if you’re feeling a bit
tender or you just want a quick
snack, there’s nothing better.
They’re delicious, especially
if you spice them up a bit.
CHRIS I was going to say the
same thing, actually. My kids
love them and they’re a great
instant snack to have in between
all their clubs and school
commitments. They’re genius!
The two of you seem to get
on really well. Did you enjoy
filming together?
CHRIS Yes, I was delighted to
hear Anita was involved – this
show wouldn’t work without her!
ANITA It was a wonderful
process. We laughed a lot –
probably too much! The best day
of filming was when we were
judging the treats category and
we got to try some rum – we had
to try it a few times, of course!
But what’s great about this
show is that it’s real. We’ve
opened the doors to people who
would never usually get access
to Aldi’s managing director of

P

ity the teenage girls in
soapland – their first
sexual experience usually
results in a bun in the oven and
a lifetime of being gossiped
about. Sarah, Faye and Amy all
got up the duff the second they
took a stroll down Nooky Street,
and now Summer’s with child,
mere weeks after losing her
virginity to Aaron.
It doesn’t help that Aaron
has binned her off to focus on
his alcoholic dad. In need of
a distraction, Summer helps
Billy with a charity clothesswap stall. There’s nothing
to suggest that, other than a
broken heart, anything is wrong.
But then Chesney comes across
a positive pregnancy test…
The dad-of-five assumes it’s
Gemma’s when it falls out of the
pocket of a denim jacket she has
picked up at the stall, having
mistaken it as a donation. He’s
hugely relieved as she explains
it’s not hers and must belong to
the garment’s former owner,
while Gemma is determined to
find out who is really in the club.
Daisy and Carla both come
under scrutiny, but all’s revealed
when Gemma tells Paul about
the mystery, and he recognises
the jacket as Summer’s.
‘It’s probably the best thing
that someone has found out
about her pregnancy, because
Summer probably would have
kept it to herself otherwise,’
reveals actor Harriet Bibby.
‘She speaks to Paul about
it, then tells Aaron.’

Summer’s

PREGNANT!

Summer and Aaron reunite,
but Summer is horrified when
later, in the pub, Paul accidentally
outs her baby news to Billy and
his church friend Esther.
She’s further stunned when,
as she storms off, Esther goes
after her and suggests she
and her partner, Mike, adopt
the baby, as they can’t have
a child of their own.
It’s quite the curveball…
How will Summer respond?

FERN FRAMES BERNIE!

Dirty tricks: Fern
poses as Bernie to
rob a jeweller’s

Bernie recently made the easiest £200
of her life by posing as doppelgänger
Fern at a speed-awareness course. This
week, it’s Fern’s turn to pose as Bern…
but Bernie is oblivious to the plan, and
nor does she realise that her lookalike
intends on setting her up for theft!
Having previously nicked Bernie’s
bank statement and one of her tops,
Fern masquerades as Ms Winter at an

interview for a cleaning agency, and is
promptly tasked with a job at a jeweller’s.
Left on her own while the boss pops out,
she proceeds to rob the place blind.
Bernie’s horrified when the cops turn
up and arrest her. Shown CCTV footage
of the robbery, she realises that Fern
has framed her. But can she convince
the police, her family and boyfriend
Dev that she’s an innocent woman?

Leanne confronts gangster Harvey and makes

O

f all the people Leanne
Battersby would like
to spend an afternoon
with, Harvey Gaskell
has to be last on the list.
The gangster groomed her
son, Simon, into drug-dealing
for him, and kidnapped and
tried to kill her when he briefly
escaped from prison last year
after she’d worked with the
cops to get him sent down. So
it’s no wonder she’s a nervous
wreck as she pays the lockedup wrong’un a visit this week.
Leanne and Nick have both
received visiting orders from
Harvey, but while Nick wants
nothing to do with the violent

thug, Lea is curious to know
what evil Harv wants.
Lying that she’s
off to the cash and
carry, she secretly
heads to the big
house. Confronting
her nemesis, she’s

Harvey reveals
that Sam has been
writing to him,
and he wants the
letters to stop.
‘Leanne is
gobsmacked and also incredibly
worried that Sam has reached

man who almost destroyed their

lives,’ reveals our Corrie mole.
Back on the cobbles, Leanne
puts Nick in the
picture, and the
pair sit Sam down,
and he tearfully
explains that he just
wants to know why
Harvey killed his
mum, Natasha... and
angrily adds that if
he’s prevented from
writing to him, he’ll
see him in person.
Nick and Leanne
are horrified, but Sam won’t
budge. The following day,
during a memorial lunch for
his late mum, the boy tells his

– or rather very big brain – does
like to make sense of the world.
‘Audrey gives Sam a pep talk,’
adds our mole, ‘and they think
they’ve got through to him… but
he’s a determined little soul.’
Hanging out with Hope later,
Sam admits to his pal that he’s
sent Harvey another letter. To
Harvey’s amusement, the latest
correspondence includes a
questionnaire about his dark
past, which Sam has politely
asked him to fill in.
Question is, will this bit of
amateur psychology give Sam
some solace, or is the schoolboy
inviting more trouble to Nick

n an action-packed week
that begins with a special
one-hour instalment
on Sunday – the 50th
anniversary of Emmerdale’s
very first episode – Kim gets
hitched to Will, and let’s just
say that any guests who have
splashed out on a hat will no
doubt come to regret it.
As previously teased by show
bosses, the village is hit by a
huge wind storm, causing trees
to tumble, cows to stampede
through the streets, and tiles
and chimney pots (and hats/
fascinators) to go flying. But
that’s not the worst of it. As
you’d expect from such a
momentous event, at least
one person comes a cropper.
There’s a metaphorical
storm brewing before
the real one hits. Kim
wakes up with a cob
on, having secretly
caught Harriet trying
to woo Will back
the previous day.
Heading out on
horseback, she spies
her love rival, and it’s
clear she’s not going to
let things lie.
She and Will lock horns
on her return, and he insists
she’s the woman for him. But
Kim’s hackles are up, and she
decides to pay Harriet a visit…

She’s not hurt, but her relief

Cain Dingle has been ruffling
feathers in Emmerdale on
and off for 22 years, but Jeff
Hordley, who plays the gruff
mechanic, admits he only
ever intended to do a short
stint on the soap when he
first joined in 2000.
‘I honestly thought I’d do it
for two years, and I was only
given a nine-month contract
at first,’ Jeff, 52, tells us.
‘I ended up doing six years,
which flew by, and then I left
to do some more theatre and
came back [in 2009].
‘Then Zoe [Henry; Jeff’s
real-life wife who plays Rhona
Goskirk] joined the show as
a regular, so it seemed the
natural and right thing to
do to stay. It’s such a lovely
atmosphere and a great
company, so it was pretty easy
to stay and have more fun.’

or will she be
forced to give birth alone?

SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR

Plenty more folk are in peril, of
course. Back in the village, Chas
and Kerry are both injured by
flying debris, and Al is forced to
choose which of them to go to.
He opts for Chas, his secret
lover, leaving fiancée Kezza
suspicious. Is she about to
finally uncover the pair’s
affair? And if so, will Al also be
in need of medical attention?

Meanwhile, Marlon and
Mary are worried when
Rhona goes missing. Could her
disappearance have anything
to do with a herd of cattle that
are on the loose after a barn
collapses at Butlers Farm?
Then there’s Liv, Vinny,
Charles, Nicola, Naomi and
Ethan, who are also caught in
the eye of the storm.
Before the week is out, tragedy
has struck. Who hasn’t lived

PREMIERE CRIME DRAMA
A film that operates on a need-toknow basis, this gripping thriller
circles one of Australia's most
horrifying crimes: the kidnap and
murder of 13-year-old Queensland
boy Daniel Morcombe. Thankfully,
the film avoids any depiction of this
2003 atrocity, focusing instead on
the eight-year undercover police
operation which followed. Henry
(Sean Harris) is a nefarious drifter
who is recruited into a criminal gang
by Joel Edgerton's Mark. But the
gang, like Mark, are not what they
seem. Aided by brooding photography
and deep-in-character turns by
Edgerton and Harris, this is a fascinating
look at what it takes to bring a killer
to justice and the human cost involved.

Vardalos dishes up a second helping of

prospect of an empty nest, yet as
before it’s her family who give her the
most grief. Sadly, the gags are simply
tired variations on ones we’ve heard

The latest Star Wars trilogy comes to a close with an instalment that leans towards
the ‘whimper’ end of the spectrum, as JJ Abrams wraps things up with determined
protagonist Rey (Daisy Ridley) and her frenemy Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). There’s an
awful lot of fan service here, nailed on regardless of coherence, giving the whole
exercise the feeling of a love letter to the original trilogy without an understanding
of what made it so loved in the first place. That said, there is real spectacle on show,
as Rey and her comrades Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac) face the First
Order for the last time, culminating in a space battle to end them all. ★★★ NP

No introduction necessary for 1951’s classic Ealing comedy
starring Alec Guinness as Sidney Stratton, the chemist
who invents a fabric that never wears out and never gets

relations in the good old days – both management and
unions take a satirical pummelling – it’s also a reminder of
what great character actors were around in the 1950s, like
Cecil Parker, Michael Gough and Ernest Thesiger. Not
forgetting Joan Greenwood as Sidney’s possible love
interest. She’d also starred alongside Alec Guinness two
years earlier in Kind Hearts and Coronets. ★★★★★ SM

DRAMA FROM 10PM, C4
As if being a teenager isn’t hard enough, Danny has grown up in seclusion with
his dad, believing the outside world to be full of monsters. Then his dad dies and
Danny goes to live in suburban Leeds with his aunt and cousin. What follows is a
voyage of discovery for all concerned. Danny’s shut-in life is revealed in flashbacks
showing the extent of his dad’s lies. Meanwhile, the young man must adjust to a
strange new world. Unexpectedly hopeful and expertly cast, this dark drama has
a quiet, powerful emotional charge. Continues tomorrow. ★★★★★ ER

FILM 2.15PM, BBC1, iPLAYER
Kermit the Frog fans, there are two of them – a good one and a villainous
lookalike – in this 2014 sequel to the wildly successful reboot of all things
Muppetty, 2011's The Muppets. The plot is built around a jewel heist while the
Muppets are on tour in Europe and it’s just substantial enough to support the
vast number of cameos – from Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga early on, to Hugh
Bonneville, Tom Hiddleston, Ray Liotta and Salma Hayek later (the list really does
go on and on). And Ricky Gervais plays a bad guy called Dominic Badguy! Lots of
fun, if not quite up there with the Muppets’ 2011 outing. ★★★ SM

DOCUMENTARY 9PM,

Hans Zimmer is one of Hollywood’s
most sought-after composers and has
scored over 150 films, including
blockbusters such as Inception, Dune
and The Dark Knight and TV shows like
tonight’s Frozen Planet II. This profile

Emmerdale SOAP 7PM, ITV
Exactly 50 years since the soap first aired, here’s a special
Sunday trip to the Dales, where toxic Kim Tate is preparing
to wed her bit of rough, Will Taylor. In a nod to the first ever
episode, the action opens with Kim on horseback but that’s
where the similarities with 1970s Emmerdale Farm end. No
‘Annie Sugden loses her pinny’-style plots here. There’s a

bitter showdown between Kim and love rival Harriet, while a
storm leaves a labouring Amelia stranded in the middle of
nowhere. Expect uprooted trees, escaped cows and at least
one death before the week is out… Emmerdale: 50
Unforgettable Years is on earlier at 6pm. ★★★★ AS

LARKINS
Made in Italy
FILM 9PM, FILM4
A son whose marriage has just gone belly up heads to
Italy with his estranged father to fix up the family’s
neglected holiday home. This heartwarming, semicomedic drama has a real father and son, Liam Neeson
and Micheál Richardson, as its two leads, which gives the
story some much-needed extra weight. Otherwise it’s as
familiar as they come – funny locals, a passionate Italian
romantic interest, gorgeous scenery, wine, good food.
It’s Sunday evening viewing at its cosiest and the
sunshine at this time of year really helps too! ★★★ SM

Simon Nye’s delightful

Bates classic, starring
Bradley Walsh and
Joanna Scanlan as Pop
and Ma Larkin, returns
for a second series. With
Mariette still away on her
honeymoon, the focus
falls on younger sister
Primrose (Lydia Page),
who is smitten by the
handsome new vicar. Pop
is less taken with the new
neighbours – hilariously
played by Morgana
Robinson and Julian
Rhind-Tutt – a snobby
couple from London who
pay over the odds for
a rundown property,
invite the Larkins to an
excruciatingly awkward
dinner party, and annoy
the locals when they start

The House Across the Street
DRAMA 9PM, CHANNEL 5
This four-part thriller, which continues tomorrow, stars Shirley Henderson as
lonely single mum and cancer survivor Claudia, whose life changes when she
becomes embroiled in the case of a missing local girl and is obsessively drawn to
the devastated parents. Desperate for connection, and being at the heart of the
search for young Emily gives Claudia a new-found purpose. But when it turns into
a murder investigation, the case soon leaves Claudia doubting the innocence of
everyone around her. Line of Duty’s Craig Parkinson also stars. ★★★★ HD

edge-of-your seat stuff – you might
need an energy drink just to get you

it is an interesting reminder of how

silly with its tale of a family beset by ghostly goings-on as
their youngest daughter starts conversing with the TV and
household objects begin to move on their own. Steven
Spielberg wrote the screenplay, while horrormeister Tobe
Hooper directed. ★★★★ JP

TUESDAY Highlights

TUESDAY

Rob with his wife Lindsey
and children

Is Robert about
to do a U-turn?

Rob Burrow: Living with MND

Industry

DOCUMENTARY 7PM, BBC2
In 2019, rugby league legend Rob Burrow was diagnosed with Motor Neurone
Disease (MND) and given two years to live. This documentary takes a look at how
he’s coping with the cruel disease, which has rapidly robbed him of his ability to
walk and speak. The Burrows are trying to stay as normal as possible, and
cameras capture them making pizzas and watching a school sports day, but there
are also tough times, including a visit to Rob’s consultant. Throughout it all,
though, Rob doesn’t seem to stop smiling, and the film is a testament both to his
positivity as well as the love of his extraordinary family. ★★★★★ HD

DRAMA 10.40PM (times vary), BBC1, iPLAYER
(BOX SET)
There’s a definite trend of characters finding out unpalatable truths tonight, as
Yasmin pushes Maxim to release her father’s financial history so she can perform
due diligence before taking him on as a client. When Maxim proves resistant, she
confronts her father, only to find his accounts are hiding a secret. Meanwhile,
Robert’s enjoying his business-casual fling with Nicole, until he discovers the true
extent of her history with Harper and suddenly finds the whole thing a lot less
appealing. This is why you don’t mix business and pleasure, folks… ★★★★ SP

Harry Styles
is one of the
nominees

Mercury Prize 2022
MUSIC 9PM, BBC4
Rescheduled from 8 September
following the death of the Queen, the
Album of the Year event takes place
tonight at Hammersmith Apollo in
west London. The shortlisted albums
include Harry Styles’ best-seller Harry’s
House, Sam Fender’s Seventeen Going
Under, Jessie Buckley and Bernard
Butler’s For All Our Days That Tear the
Heart, Little Simz’ Sometimes I Might
Be Introvert and Wet Leg’s self-titled
debut album. ★★★ JP

Louis XIV has an ambitious plan…

Versailles DRAMA BBC iPLAYER (BOX SET)
If there’s a Bridgerton-shaped hole in your viewing, try this
drama which formerly aired on BBC2. It follows ‘Sun King’
Louis XIV’s elaborate plan to base his court at Versailles,
complete with a new palace. ‘A king without a castle is no
king at all,’ his late mother warns Louis in a feverish dream.
His ministers are aghast at being stuck in a ‘backwater’, not

least because there’s always someone planning to kill Louis.
You’ll have to concentrate at first as lots of the men look
quite similar (a bit like the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of
Oz, which was obviously a look in 17th-century France) but
thankfully George Blagden and Alexander Vlahos stand out
as Louis and his brother Philippe. ★★★★ JP

THE

BAKE OFF
My Man Godfrey
FILM 11AM, FILM4
Screwball comedy is always with us – see the recent
George Clooney/Julia Roberts film Ticket to Paradise –
but its absolute heyday was in the 1930s, when William
Powell and Carole Lombard were the king and queen of
zippy, witty delivery. Both get plenty of opportunity to
show what they can do in this classic about a spoiled rich
socialite (Lombard) hiring a homeless man (Powell) as
her butler and falling for him. Effortless magic from the
stars, who strike sparks off each other – they’d once
been husband and wife in real life. ★★★★★ SM

Martin shares advice
to help with rising bills

There’s a spooky
atmosphere in
the tent this week
FOOD 8PM, C4
The fear factor has
increased for Bake Off ’s
first ever Halloween
Week, but some bakers
have definitely got into
the ‘spirit’ with their
outfits and excessive
use of eyeliner! For the
sinister Signature,
they’re tasked with
making a decorated apple
cake, while the terrifying
Technical is reliant
on texture. Finally, in
the spine-chilling
Showstopper, they have
to create piñata-style
hanging lanterns
containing sweet treats.
You probably won’t be
surprised to hear that the
devilish duo of Prue and
Paul take a scary amount
of pleasure in whacking
the offerings open with a
rolling pin! But who will
miss a ‘trick’ and go home
and who’s in for a ‘treat’
when they are named
Star Baker?! ★★★★ CC

The Martin Lewis Money
Show: Live
CONSUMER 8PM, ITV
The AA used to advertise themselves as the fourth
emergency service but it’s a role Martin Lewis seems to
have increasingly taken on as prices have spiked and
inflation has soared. As winter gets its coat on, Martin’s
advice on how to prepare for the coming months is more
necessary than ever. There’s the Big Briefing as usual, plus
his News You Can Use rundown, but the standout remains
Martin’s command of facts and figures as he answers
viewers’ questions on the fly. ★★★★ SM

A visit to the doctor leaves
Ralph feeling worried

Denzel Washington
and Viola Davis star

Ralph & Katie
DRAMA FROM 9PM, BBC1, iPLAYER (BOX SET)
In the final two episodes in this engaging A Word spin-off, Ralph and Katie (Leon
Harrop and Sarah Gordy) face more challenges in their first year of married life.
Ralph’s mum Louise (Pooky Quesnel) is concerned to see him at the doctor’s but
Ralph tells her it’s ‘men’s stuff’ and doesn’t want her to get involved. Then, in the
second episode, Ralph and Katie are looking forward to Christmas together.
They’ve been tested as newlyweds, but this is a tricky one – each set of parents is
under the impression that the couple is spending Christmas with them. Let’s
hope they can work it out, as we’d like to see a second series! ★★★★ JP

Fences FILM ALL4
Denzel Washington shines on both sides of the camera in his directorial debut,
giving a slam-dunk performance matched only by his co-star Viola Davis (currently
to be seen in cinemas in The Woman King). Washington plays a superficially
affable father with a complicated bitter core, who butts up against his wife (Davis)
and his talented American football-playing teenage son (Jovan Adepo). Although
bearing traces of its Pulitzer-prize-winning stage origins, this tale of an AfricanAmerican family in the 1950s is an exceptionally written drama featuring
beautifully rhythmic soliloquies and career-best performances. ★★★★ NP

The Fades
DRAMA 9PM, BBC3
If you’re already getting into the Halloween spirit, TV
schedulers are way ahead of you with themed shows
and airings of horror films and dramas (Poltergeist is on
Monday, BBC2). This fantasy horror series from
BAFTA-winning writer Jack Thorne, first shown on BBC3
in 2011, stars Iain De Caestecker as Paul, a youngster in
the grip of apocalyptic dreams, who is one of the few
people able to see ‘the Fades’ – dead spirits. A great cast
also includes Daniel Kaluuya, Tom Ellis, Daniela Nardini
and Natalie Dormer. ★★★ JP

Brendan Gleeson
and Colin Farrell star

Paul sees dead people…

In Bruges FILM 11.35PM, FILM4
Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell star as squabbling
hitmen in this offbeat comedy from writer-director Martin
McDonagh. The pair have been sent to Bruges by their boss
(Ralph Fiennes) and are awaiting further instructions. The
more cultured Gleeson takes the opportunity to do some
sightseeing but a restless Farrell – who is clearly grappling
with his conscience – strops about like a teenager until he
meets and falls for a woman working on a film shoot. The
two stars have teamed up with McDonagh again in his most
recent film, The Banshees of Inisherin, which is released this
weekend. ★★★★ JP

DRAMA 9PM, ITV
Rumours are rife in
tonight’s episode about
the Doc’s new job in
London. The villagers are
up in arms. Mrs Tishell
(Selina Cadell), for one,
has a pricing gun and
she’s not afraid to use it.
Receptionist Morwenna
( Jessica Ransom) is
another who takes the
news badly. But it’s Chris
Parsons (Vincent
Franklin) who is
especially furious. He’s
gone in to bat for the
grumpy doc on numerous
occasions and feels
betrayed. Chris soon has
to sing a different tune,
however, when the Doc,
Morwenna and Al rescue
him and his wife Helen
(Martin Clunes’ Manhunt
co-star Beth Goddard).
It’s an incident that brings
a new meaning to ‘wet
suit’ in this bittersweet
penultimate Portwenn
outing. ★★★★ ER

THURSDAY Highlights

Alex takes the reins

Ruth Negga stars

Loving

Gangs of London

FILM 10.55PM, BBC4
The true story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple who were asleep one night
when the police kicked down the door of their home and arrested them. Their
crime? Marriage across the racial divide, an offence in 1960s Virginia. In a country
styling itself as ‘the land of the free’, you couldn’t marry just whoever you wanted,
a fact that seems almost unbelievable now, and that’s exactly how writer/director
Jeff Nichols (Mud, Midnight Special) presents it. And in Joel Edgerton and Ruth
Negga he has two subtle performers who make the Lovings’ long fight to have
the law overturned both believable and touching. ★★★★ SM

DRAMA FROM 9PM, SKY ATLANTIC, NOW
As the hard-hitting crime drama returns, we pick up the action one year later to find
all is not well with undercover cop Elliot Finch (Sope Dirisu), now working as an
assassin for ‘the investors’. Back in London, Alex Dumani (Capture’s Paapa Essiedu)
is heading up Dumani Finance, while his sister Shannon (Pippa Bennett-Warner),
who grew close to Elliot, is still in jail. And as we are introduced to a new Algerian
gang, it transpires that someone is selling guns without the permission of the
people who run the underworld. Waleed Zuaiter joins the cast as terrifying enforcer
Koba. The action scenes are violent, but brilliantly choreographed. ★★★★ IM

DNA Journey FACTUAL 9PM (times vary), ITV
Comedians Joel Dommett and Tom Allen bring a healthy
sense of competition to their journey, with Joel setting the
genealogy bar sky-high with his discovery about his
great-great-grandfather, Jesse Crumpler. A Somerset
farmer, Jesse went on to become an unsung hero of World
War One, revolutionising the production of airplane wings

and inventing a way to provide clean milk to sick children.
But while Joel has an impressive history, it’s Tom’s personal
journey that provides this episode with its emotional kick.
‘I actually think for the first time in my life I make sense,’
reveals a genuinely moved Tom, as he travels to Ireland and
makes a startling connection with his ancestors. ★★★★ JL

Nicola Adams: Me and IVF
FACTUAL 9PM, ITVBE
Boxing champion Nicola Adams, who won two Olympic
gold medals for Team GB at London 2012 and Rio 2016,
tells the emotional story of how she and her wife, Ella
Baig, became parents in this one-off documentary. The
film features personal moments from their very first
scans, right up to the birth of their baby son, Taylor, in
August. But the couple also reveal how extremely tough
the experience has been, and they open up about the
prejudice they faced as a same-sex, mixed-race couple
wanting to conceive via IVF. ★★★★ HD

FOOD 8PM, C4
Like a foodie take on Dragon’s Den, this series sees British
food suppliers compete to win a contract supplying Aldi
supermarkets for a year. Tonight, six hopefuls go head-tohead in the dinnertime category, with products ranging
from ready meals for kids to a chip-shop chicken-curry pie.
The most ingenious is an edible insect range of meal kits,
which include burgers made out of crickets. Are Aldi’s
customers ready for creepy crawlies in the supermarket’s
aisles? Anita Rani and Chris Bavin host. ★★★ HD

DRAMA 9PM,
CHANNEL 5
We’ve watched with
admiration as James
(Nicholas Ralph) has
gamely thrown his all
into the bovine TB testing
scheme, but in this week’s
high-stakes finale, a
positive result on a farm
could have far-reaching
consequences and brings
the devoted vet his
biggest challenge to date.
Meanwhile, as the threat
of World War Two casts
an even darker shadow,
everyone at Skeldale
House - plus the everfabulous Mrs Pumphrey
(Patricia Hodge) - is,
understandably, on edge
about the future, and
life-changing decisions
are made… With tender
emotion, plus a few wry
smiles, this is the perfect
conclusion to what has
been another top-notch
series. ★★★★★ CC

FRIDAY

Bettany visits an
Amalfi lemon grove

Susan’s back on
the road again

Paris to Rome with Bettany Hughes

Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out

TRAVELOGUE 9PM, CHANNEL 5
On the final leg of her trip, Bettany Hughes is in the Bay of Naples, where, after a
drink and a consult of her big map (she reveals that as a teenager she had maps
on her walls instead of pop stars), she visits Capri, beloved by artists such as
Debussy, John Singer Sargent and, er, Leonardo DiCaprio. Then, after a dip into
the glamour of the Amalfi coast, it’s off to Rome, where Bettany gets to channel
Audrey Hepburn, not only on a sunset ride through the city on a Vespa but also at
the hotel suite where the star stayed while filming Roman Holiday. ★★★★ JP

TRAVELOGUE 8PM, CHANNEL 5
Susan and her campervan Helen Mirren are hitting the road again. ‘By the time I
am finished in my life there will not be an inch of Cornwall I have not visited and I
will have loved every second of it,’ enthuses our happy tour guide as she returns
to one of her favourite holiday spots. She begins at Lizard Point before taking to
the water in a kayak to enjoy the stunning coastline. After a spot of synchronised
swimming in Penzance, she hops across to the majestic St Michael’s Mount before
ending in Falmouth harbour, belting out a bespoke sea shanty. ★★★ JL

CHAT SHOW 10.40PM,

Tonight, Graham’s guests on the newly
returned sofa (they hopefully find it
more comfortable than Jamie Lee
Curtis did) include Hollywood star
Geena Davis. There’s also Stephen
Graham, who’s currently starring in
ITV’s The Walk-In, and Strictly judge
Motsi Mabuse, who has just written
her autobiography. ★★★ JP

Raymond & Ray
DRAMA APPLE TV+
Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke join forces to play
estranged half-brothers who reunite to bury their father in this
poignant yet funny one-off film from writer-director Rodrigo
García. When strait-laced Raymond (McGregor) lands on the
doorstep of his fiery, free-spirited sibling Ray (Hawke) to
deliver the news that their cruel dad, Harris, is dead, the pair

begrudgingly embark on a road trip to attend his funeral. But
along the way, they encounter characters who sing Harris’s
praises, including his ex-lover Lucia (Maribel Verdú) and nurse
Kiera (Sophie Okonedo), making them wonder whether they
really knew the old man at all. A tender tragicomedy, which
delves into family grief. ★★★★ RM

(BOX SET)
Turning the gatehouse into a B&B may have seemed like
a good idea to Alison and Mike, but each week their new
venture brings more problems. When irritating posh
neighbour Barclay (the one who always calls Alison
‘Annabel’) realises how much money they make as a
B&B, he resorts to dirty tricks to try to steal their guests.
Meanwhile, the ghosts make a new friend and Mike’s
indignation at an online review results in an awkward
encounter with a zorb ball…★★★★ JP

ENTERTAINMENT
9PM, C4
Back in 1985, Channel 4’s
comedy show Saturday
Night Live burst onto our
TV screens with its new
wave of edgy, alternative
comedians. Host Ben Elton
delivered his opening
monologue at breakneck
speed, while Harry
Enfield’s comic creation
Loadsamoney was an
immediate breakout hit.
Now nearly 40 years later,
the show has been revived
for a one-off special which,
like the original series,
is going out live. Ben
Elton will once again
be ringmaster for the
proceedings and among
the original acts returning
are Harry Enfield, Jo
Brand and Julian Clary.
Appearing alongside them
will be this decade’s upand-coming comedians.
It should make for an
eventful evening. ★★★★ JE

SIGN OF THE TIMES

I enjoyed watching the
documentary John & Joe
Bishop: Life after Deaf on
ITV. It was commendable
how instead of trying to
‘fix’ his son’s hearing,
comedian John helped
Joe to find his place in
the deaf community. I
applaud John for learning
to sign well enough to do
a stand-up routine in BSL
[British Sign Language]
for a deaf audience.

KEEEEP DANCING!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better start for BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing than this year’s
series. The celebrities and their professional dance partners received great comments from
the judges, who seemed amazed at the talent so early in the competition. It promises to
be another great series, providing its usual feel-good boost, which we’re all in need of!
Judith A Daniels, Great Yarmouth

FAREWELL, KELLY

What a great final
showdown resulting in
Kelly Neelan’s exit from
ITV soap Coronation
Street! I was sorry to see
Kelly leave Weatherfield,
but at least show bosses
didn’t kill her off. Millie
Gibson, who played her,
is a superb young actor.
I hope to see her on
screen again very soon.

I found ITV’s new murder-mystery
series rather disappointing. The
plot was engaging but we’re used to
feisty heroines in crime dramas, and,
unfortunately, main protagonist Karen,
played by Lauren Lyle, was totally bland.

BBC1 thriller Inside Man
was refreshingly unlike
any drama I had seen
before. A fast-paced and
at times disturbing series
from writer Steven
Moffat, it boasted an
amazing cast – led by
Stanley Tucci and David
Tennant – and challenged
our perceptions of
characters and situations
with its many twists
and turns.

It was the soap wedding of the year
as Jill Harvey (Jane Rossington),
daughter of Birmingham motel owner
Meg Richardson (Noele Gordon),
married accountant Adam Chance
(Tony Adams) in ITV’s Crossroads.
TV Times shared in the joy of the
occasion with a seven-page special
packed with exclusive pictures from
the couple’s big day and their
honeymoon in Venice.
‘When the Jill/Adam romance had
been on, off, on, off and on again, it

revealed that she was living with
Alzheimer’s disease.
