THIS PAGE: LONELY PLANET MAGAZINE; IAN DERRY * CONDITIONS APPLY From the editor We know what the politicians think about the future of the BBC. We also know what the corporation s commercial rivals want. And, now, no one can be in any doubt what the viewers and listeners who actually pay for the service believe. Because when we asked for your views last summer, so that we could feed them into the government s official consultation, more than 9,000 of you took the time and trouble to answer our long and detailed questionnaire. The results were clear: your support for the licence fee and the BBC as a bastion of quality broadcasting was overwhelming. But one big question remains. Are the politicians and in particular the Culture Secretary John Whittingdale actually interested in the opinions of viewers rather than business and Westminster insiders? Sadly, the story we tell on page 24 suggests they are not. Ben Preston RTeditor@radiotimes.com VOTE NOW! WHOSE VOICE DO YOU LOVE ON RADIO?

4 Thıs week MARCH 2016 WHAT WE LL BE WATCHING EDDIE MAIR MICHAEL BUERK Whenever I can t find anything worth watching, I do my viewing on catch-up, and I head straight for The Night Manager, says Michael Buerk who interviews Ross Kemp on page 30. I have always liked John le Carré; nobody does the big themes of trust and betrayal better. Tom Hiddleston (below) is brilliant as Jonathan Pine, but Tom Hollander as the dipso gay court jester/ consigliere Corky tops the lot. I have two episodes of House of Cards to watch, and season five of Girls (left) may be the best yet, says RT s columnist see page 123. I ve also been enjoying Steptoe and Son and Radio Active on Radio 4 Extra. But who will he vote for in RT s best voice on radio poll? Steve Allen of LBC. He alone can do a lively, all-speech show every weekday without a single guest or caller. I m not sure which woman to vote for, but I m willing to be bribed.

6 19 25 MARCH 2016 WHAT GETS US TALKING PEAKY BLINDERS WITH WOMEN! Marnie Dickens (writer of the hit BBC3 drama Thirteen) is working on a new series for the BBC. Called Forty Elephants, it s described as a girl gang show set in the 1920s and centred on a crime family. So, is it a female Peaky Blinders, then? Not quite. Hopefully there will be a lot of clear water between the two shows, Dickens tells RT with a chuckle. WHO NEXT? Eleanor Matsuura, Jennifer Saunders (below left) and Zawe Ashton (below right) DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE On a similar tack, talk of a female Doctor in Doctor Who rumbles on. Eleanor Matsuura (left) who plays Queen Hippolyta in the upcoming A Midsummer Night s Dream on BBC1 (adapted by Russell T Davies), has this to say on the subject: I think it should be Jennifer Saunders, and if it s not her it should be Zawe Ashton [from Fresh Meat], she tells me. Maybe Russell could help to make that happen Coastal Walks with My Dog Saturday 8.00pm More4 Match the dog to its owner! Who s that striding along the cliff path? It s only 6 Music presenter Cerys Matthews and her border collie Smot. The pair are taking to the great outdoors for Coastal Walks with My Dog, a new series where six celebrities and their dogs each fitted with a camera explore Britain s coastline on foot. They say dogs look like their owners, so can you match the pooch to the celebrity? Answers at the foot of the page. 1 STORM GETTY TOO CLEVER BY HALF Stewart Lee has a bone to pick with Kirsty Young. When Young interviewed Michael McIntyre on Desert Islands Discs she asked him what he thought of Lee s quip that compared McIntyre s act to spoon-feeding his audience warm diarrhoea, a comment that McIntyre didn t like at all. But Lee feels Young took him out of context. It was at the end of a long bit where I was talking about my anger that I couldn t get any money because my audience were so clever they stole everything off the internet, while Michael McIntyre s [audience] bought his DVDs. It was to some extent at the end of a rant in character. But does he stand by his words? It wasn t out of nowhere, he laughs. PARTY ANIMALS New Peter Bowker drama The A Word begins this week and episode one features a chaotic kids party. Director Peter Cattaneo (of The Full Monty fame) filmed a real children s party for authenticity and it was as raucous as you d expect. By the end of it several children were in tears for various reasons, there was a balloon fight and all the boys were pretending the ballons were breasts, says writer Bowker. To be fair, some of the crew were pretending they were breasts as well. BEN DOWELL THE OWNERS A. DEBRA STEPHENSON B. BEN FOGLE C. BILL BAILEY D. ANGELA GRIFFIN 6

9 Viewpoint NICK BAINES, BISHOP OF LEEDS PA Where s God on TV? Faith isn t just for Easter, it s a lens for life so, it s Easter again. And there s a programme about Judas on the telly. When Bob Dylan decided to go electric some of his fans thought he had sold out. The infamous sound of a bloke in the audience shouting Judas said it all one name pregnant with a hundred accusations. I feel a bit sorry for Judas. He s not just another one of those characters in the well-known story of the crucifixion of Jesus; rather, he has gone down in history as the ultimate traitor, the cheap and nasty greedmerchant who sells his friend and his soul for a few quid. I wonder what his mother thought. Well, it s a bit more complicated than that. Judas had invested himself in the revolutionary leadership of Jesus of Nazareth only to find himself let down. Trying to force the hand of the Messiah didn t work and, instead of provoking the ultimate uprising against Roman rule, the glorious leader simply let himself get nailed without resistance. No wonder Judas got upset. I guess it s up to the observer to decide what was really going on with Judas whether he is a traitor or a scapegoat. Whatever conclusion you draw, he s had a lousy press. Just call someone by his name It s actually all about betrayal. And faith. And disappointment. And hope and meaning and living and dying. All the stuff of life as we all know it, in every age and every culture. It shouldn t be surprising, then, that the case for or against Judas should be reopened on Good Friday. After all, what better opportunity can there be for taking a fresh look at a religious story than hanging it on an Easter peg? That s fine in itself. But, it begs the question why such programming shouldn t be scheduled at other times of the year. Why lock faith stuff into the predictable slots when people who like that sort of thing can be indulged for an hour or so? If sport and politics, economics and science can be exposed to the searching eye of the camera and the probing KEEPING THE FAITH Call the Midwife s Sister Winifred (Victoria Yeates) ear of the microphone throughout the year, shouldn t religion get the same treatment and not get pigeonholed at the predictable times of the calendar? Well, I celebrate those broadcasters that spot the creative opportunities to tell the stories and ask the hard questions. Faith provides a lens through which the stuff of human living and dying, leaving and losing, laughing and weeping, searching and finding, can be This award celebrates programmes about people and questions for us all explored. Faith isn t a box whose lid can be lifted from time to time in order to keep one section of the audience happy. Faith is about the raw stuff of life and the questions about what it all means. Not just at Christmas and Easter, but all year round. And this is why the Sandford St Martin Trust joins Radio Times to celebrate and reward excellent religious broadcasting. That s not broadcasting about religion for religious people; rather, it s telling those often surprising stories about people whose lives and interests and failings and celebrations shine a light on the questions that face us all as human beings. They offer a sort of vocabulary for thinking, asking and wondering. No shoving stuff down people s throat. But capturing the imagination and offering images and narratives that keep scratching away at our mind and memory, possibly opening us up to new, and sometimes surprising, ways of thinking and seeing. Whether it s The Ark or Songs of Praise, Call the Midwife or Children of the Gaza War, a documentary or drama, there are some extraordinary programmes to celebrate. Cast your vote. In the Footsteps of Judas is at 9.00am on Good Friday on BBC1 VOTE IN RT S FAITH AWARD The Sandford St Martins Award for religious broadcasting toast the best TV that deals with issues of faith.

10 Line of Duty Thursday 9.00pm BBC2; 9.00pm BBC1 N Ireland; 10.00pm BBC2 Wales Trust me, I m a cop Line of Duty is back and the bullets are flying no wonder actor Daniel Mays couldn t sleep WHEN DANIEL MAYS got the call for Line of Duty he was terrified. The lines for the audition were a long interrogation scene pages and pages of cop speak, he explains. I got the script Friday, didn t understand a word of it and they said, Learn it by Monday. Brilliant. And I thought how great [stars of the first two series] Lennie James and Keeley Hawes were and I didn t get a lot of sleep. Line of Duty, Jed Mercurio s meticulous procedural about controversial police anticorruption unit AC-12 has a different corrupt cop each season. Keeley Hawes s stint as depressed and criminally compromised DI Lindsay Denton was BBC2 s most-watched show of Lennie James s debut as hero cop DCI Tony Gates in 2012 was BBC2 s bestperforming drama for ten years. You can understand the pressure. Mays knew the size of Responder Patrol shoes he was stepping into but he didn t ever have any doubts. I love the show and talking to the existing cast members, Vicky McClure and Craig Parkinson, they were unanimous that Jed seemed to have raised the bar again. He leans back in his high wooden chair, sipping tap water. This one is so much more highoctane, action-packed and edge-of-the-seat 10 CASE NOTES Line of Duty creator Jed Mercurio shares his secret files NAME: DANIEL WALDRON DATE OF BIRTH: 14/03/1982 RANK: POLICE SERGEANT ROLE: AUTHORISED FIREARMS OFFICER POST: ARMED RESPONSE STATION: SOUTH FERRY DAN I EL WALDRON WEAPONS RATING: GLOCK 17 PISTOL (STAR RATED) HECKLER AND KOCH G-36 CARBINE (STAR RATED)

13 CASE NOTES ANTI-CORRUPTION OFFICER S REPORT ON DANIEL WALDRON: Police Sergeant Daniel Waldron is a currently serving Authorised Firearms Officer stationed at South Ferry. He s under investigation by Anti-Corruption Unit 12 following an incident relating to Operation Damson on 13th May 2015 for which he has been served a Regulation 15 notice. In assessing Waldron s actions, the anti-corruption inquiry under Senior Investigating Officer Supt Hastings notes the following. Daniel Waldron had a troubled childhood. His parents separated when he was young and his mother was left to bring him up on her own. She died and Waldron moved in with his estranged father and stepmother but was taken into care shortly after, aged 13. This inquiry also notes that Daniel Waldron names no next-ofkin on his service file. Waldron is a loner, with a troubled childhood and a history of acrimonious working relationships that point to an unstable personality type. AC-12 must consider the possibility that Daniel Waldron s actions on 13th May, and the loss of life associated with it, may have been a calamity waiting to happen. DETECTIVE SERGEANT STEVE ARNOTT AC-12 TOUGH NUT DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) THEY RE BACK Supt Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) and DC Kate Fleming (Vicki McClure) than the others. It s a different show. The sights, in this case, have been raised quite literally. Mays plays the head of an armed response unit under suspicion of corruption who seems, alternately, the nastiest piece of work on screen for some time and a hugely damaged, needy man-child. The problem with unpicking too much about the character, Mays explains, is that there are so many more shocking spoilers just in the opening episode than previous series. As with all Jed s shows, it s based in serious social issues that are raging right now. He leans forward for emphasis. I mean we re talking about someone that s carrying round a huge amount of untouched pain, which made him join the police force and cover himself in armoured plating. For Mays, the armour plating was real. He and his squad had to play their scenes in full police-issue body armour. They even received gun-training, which, he admits, got quite competitive. I d say I was probably the best, he grins. Although really it was Will Mellor. We fired Glocks and Uzis and even a Magnum. It s weirdly empowering actually firing something with that amount of force. You re aware of the damage and the pain you could possibly inflict. Shooting with tasers, guns and armour on the streets of Belfast Line of Duty has filmed in the city for the past two series meant the cast and crew needed certain sensitivities when We ired Glocks and Uzis and even a Magnum Mays and his team were wandering around in costume. We were made aware of that, he nods carefully. Certain things we needed to do and certain streets we wanted to film in we just had to have an awareness, you know. Obviously there is some volatility even now and tensions can run high. You just had to have your thinking cap 13

15 PIQTURED; GETTY on and be as vigilant as possible. But the long haul in Belfast helped, he points out, to keep him from bringing the darkness of the role home to his kids ten-year-old son, Mylo, and three-year-old daughter, Dixie, with his partner, make-up artist Louise Burton. I could really lock myself away and immerse myself into the very dark heart of this character and not worry about the effect on them, he gives a small smile. We had an insane lat-warming with James Corden gate-crashing Family is hugely important to him the second of four kids with an electrician dad, who grew up on the border of Essex and East London and discovered performance when his mum took him to a Michael Jackson concert in Out in Belfast, though, he found the cast regulars were a most welcoming alternative family. It helped that I actually shared a flat in Crouch End with Craig for just over a year, he gives a mischievous smile. You know when the guy wakes up in the Yellow Pages ad and his parents house is trashed? We had that flatwarming. It was just insane gate-crashers coming along, Dominic Cooper and James Corden and all that turning up It was a rented apartment with a cream carpet he shakes his head in mock despair. It was insanity. Why did we do that? He was just starting out at the time having graduated from Rada in Rada gives huge grants and funding to people from workingclass backgrounds to be able to enrol, which is the only reason I could go, he explains. This is a point he takes very seriously indeed. We re awash with the Downton Abbey effect which is all great and I actually loved War and Peace. All those shows definitely have a place, but there are a lot of public school actors and writers about at the moment. That s why I think writers like Jed and Tony Marchant and the worlds that they re depicting are vital for the BBC and for British drama. I know Julie Walters brought to the table the lack of the underclass going to drama school, but there also needs to be more be writers like Jimmy McGovern and Jed to bring stories about people from poorer backgrounds to the table for people to experience. RadioTimes March 2016 THE FACTS ABOUT ARMED POLICE O There are 5,875 firearms officers in England and Wales O There were 14,864 police firearm operations in the year ending March 2014, according to the Home Office O Police discharged their firearms on just two occasions O There was just one fatal shooting O Police shot 55 people dead in England and Wales in the 24 years from 1991 to In the USA, police shot 59 people dead in the first 24 days of 2015 MAYS MAY Daniel Mays and partner Louise Burton are rumoured to be getting married later this year Certainly, Mays has never struggled for good work from good writers. As well as roles in Red Riding and Dad s Army, he s played the most corrupt cop of all time as the Devil himself in Ashes to Ashes, Ronnie Biggs in Mrs Biggs and a sadly unsung and unrecommissioned Channel 4 sitcom called Plus One, where he played a man whose ex-girlfriend was marrying Duncan from Blue and he needed a date for the wedding. As a result, people recognise him but they re not sure exactly where from. Back in 2013 I was in Mojo with Rupert Grint, Ben Whishaw and Brendan Coyle I was the man without a franchise, he laughs. I nipped out to Pret à Manger for lunch with Rupert on day one, he had his hoodie up, but people kept coming up to him demanding he kiss them on the lips. It was like we were in the Beatles and I was Ringo. He s not looking for that kind of adulation, he insists. He had a shot at US TV last year but the pilot didn t make it to a full series. Next up he s just finished Nighy in Limehouse Golem, the Peter Ackroyd novel. I suppose I do play a lot of cops, he rubs his chin thoughtfully. But never the nice ones. I just hope no one takes it personally if I get pulled over for speeding 15

16 MasterChef Wednesday 8.00pm BBC1 JACK BARNES The man next to me in the MasterChef contestants line is brashly confident. I have a plan, he says. Chicken fajitas. I ve bought the fajitas and the grated cheese already. I ll just have to fry the pepper and chicken at the last minute. Which oil do you use for that? I ask. Sunflower? Groundnut? Oil? His face whitens. Too late, the double doors to the studio open. We re on. Cooking doesn t get tougher than the preseason MasterChef challenge for food and television writers. Although you re supposed to cook a family favourite, a dish you ve lived with and loved at home for many years, cheating is rife. The man with the fajitas isn t Mexican, and even I, Radio Times s representative, will be following a recipe I ve torn from a cookbook and camouflaged with parsley. There may be a national and global television audience of zilch, but this is one of life s rare chances to be a champion. A journalist from a Scottish newspaper has caught the pre-dawn flight from Glasgow to be here. The real MasterChef regularly attracts audiences of more than 5 million and winning a series can be life-changing. The 2005 champion, Thomasina Miers, went on to open the Wahaca chain of restaurants and at least three winners have recently published cookbooks. Although the only prize on offer today is a monogrammed MasterChef apron, judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace are in full broadcast mode when we file, blinking, into the unforgiving brightness of the MasterChef studio. Torode, austere and imperious, is squeezed slightly too tightly into a tailored dark-blue suit. A jolly Wallace wears a three-piece tweed ensemble that shouts cockney barrow-boymade-good. Which, when he claps his hands together and shouts, Start cooking!, is exactly what he sounds like. Immediately we set to. The Scotsman is attempting an ambitious coq en croûte essentially a chicken wellington around which he plans to gather various vegetables in sauces. According to the tattered page, my dish cod provençal, if I had to name it simply requires roasting onions, tomatoes and olives, putting a piece of cod on top for the last ten minutes and boiling some rice. The recipe apart from the rice, which was my idea is lifted from My Kind of Food: Recipes I Love to Cook at Home by John Torode, published last year, but now I m in the kitchen with the author, I wonder if it was wise to offer such a flagrant challenge to his dignity. Torode and Wallace have fronted MasterChef since 2005, but the series was created in 1990 by Franc Roddam, the man who thought up Auf Wiedersehen Pet and had the idea of making a film of the Who s rock opera Quadrophenia. The first version of the show was good enough to kick-start Lloyd Grossman s unlikely second career as a cook-in sauce mogul, but The heat ıs on RT s Michael Hodges took the MasterChef challenge cooking doesn t get rougher than this! following two revamps since the millennium, a super-pressurised version of MasterChef emerged to conquer the world. There are now 51 versions of the show around the world, including in Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. There is even an Albanian MasterChef. MARK ONE MasterChef judges Rick Stein, Loyd Grossman and Anouska Hempel in 1997 British MasterChef which possibly features less grilled lamb offal than Albanian MasterChef has a simple judging set-up: Torode represents a chef s point of view, Wallace a punter s. I have a famously sweet tooth, says Wallace as he walks among the dicing and chopping contestants. Until now, Lucy, representing a popular tabloid and offering a sponge pudding alongside a jug of reduced chocolate jus, had been an outsider. This announcement makes her a hot favourite, but for how long? On MasterChef, as in life, hubris is fatal. Soufflés can fail to rise, pans can burn dry. There is also the chance that a celebrity chef will object to his own recipe being offered to him masquerading as someone else s. As Wallace and Torode watch the olives, tomato and onion going into the oven, a flash of recognition crosses Torode s face. That s quite like a dish that I do, he says before the anguished cry close by of a man dropping a 16 RadioTimes March 2016

17 IN COD WE TRUST Michael Hodges feels the strain in the MC kitchen bag of pre-grated mature cheddar distracts them. The Australian chef and London greengrocer are said to lead entirely separate lives outside the studio. Though both deny this when we speak later. We have lunch with each other once a year, Torode tells me. And it s not cold at all. I phoned John up when I was having a tough time on Strictly, says Wallace, referring to his It s remarkable no one s ever thrown a punch at one of us GREGG WALLACE memorable early departure from Strictly Come Dancing in 2014 after a Charleston routine with a cream cake. Well, Torode corrects him, I sent you a text RadioTimes March 2016 MOMENT OF TRUTH John Torode and Gregg Wallace taste Michael s cod provençal saying, Are you all right? and 15 minutes later the phone rang and you said, No, I m not all right at all. It s s***. Torode isn t actively sniffy about Wallace, but there are hints he doesn t entirely approve of his colleague. Torode says he has a little coffee machine in his dressing room. Wallace, it seems, doesn t. He only drinks instant coffee. They have different styles on the studio floor, too. As I put the rice on the hob, Wallace goes between contestants, dipping a finger here, patting a back there. Torode is a cooler operator, stopping to rescue fajita man from a potentially lethal attempt to chop a green pepper on a cheese-scattered board, before moving on to show Lucy how to make a spun-sugar crown for her sponge. They are, in their different ways, benevolent masters of the MasterChef floor. And they need to be. MasterChef is a programme that obliges contestants to confront their deepest existential doubts in public, and with a spatula in their hands. People want their food to be absolutely brilliant, the first time they ever cook it, says Torode. And that search for perfection can be a strange thing. Emotions could easily boil over, yet, in all their time together, they have never had a distraught contestant turn on them. It s remarkable, says Wallace. No one has ever thrown a punch at one of us. Torode is also bemused. I find it quite amazing that people don t walk away. Time, though, does walk away. Somehow there are only 20 minutes to go. We have entered the zone where dishes should be coming to fruition, and right on cue I hear the angry sizzle of raw chicken encountering a very hot and very dry frying pan. I put the cod in the oven. Then, as Torode s recipe insists, I take it out again after ten 17

19 minutes. As I do this, Torode arrives and peers at the fish. How long did you give it? he says, poking the side. Ten minutes, I say, pushing the parsley over his recipe. No, no, he says, it needs longer than that. Put it back in for five minutes. Before I can fully appreciate this irony, I m engulfed in steam. The unattended rice has boiled itself into a seething mush that is now leaving the pan and I have to struggle with a sieve and tea towel to get it onto the plate with the fish just as our cooking time runs out. If I say so myself, it looks pretty good. Actually, I might have a chance of winning this. Torode and Wallace take their place at the MasterChef plinth and the judging begins. First up: the frazzled chicken fajitas. Disaster would be an over-generous description of this as a plate of food. Although Wallace does manage a heartfelt, Nice cheese, it s clearly one competitor down for my cod. Then a setback they both like the chicken wellington. However, the Scotsman s plate is smeared with gravy. This bothers Torode. Presentation matters, he says. You should have wiped it. I look down at my own plate and notice the rice is releasing a little water. Now Lucy steps up to the plinth and Torode and Wallace fall upon the pudding. I have noticed by now that Wallace takes more than Torode often two man-size bites to each of Torode s dainty forkfuls. But even Wallace is taken aback by the next dish. A lady from a Should my cod want to, it could swim back to Provence woman s magazine has made a sausage casserole, alongside which she serves poached egg on a bed of spinach and a plate of lardons, which she has smeared with mustard. She has baked her own bread as well. I like your sausage, says Wallace. Over-embellished, says Torode, severely. Then it s my turn. By now the rice has given up a good half-pint of water and, should my cod want to, it could swim back to Provence. I place the dish on the plinth, in front of the man who came up with it. Interesting, says Torode. But that s not how I would do it. The Scotsman wins, of course. SERVES 4 24 cherry or pomodorino tomatoes, halved 2 banana shallots, cut into quarters 150g each of black and green olives 50ml olive oil 4 x 180g hunks of cod, skin on 1 lemon, cut into 4 thick slices salt and freshly ground black pepper rock salt, to serve a handful of flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, to serve Heat the oven to 200 C/gas 1 mark 6. In a bowl mix together the tomatoes, shallots, olives, add half the oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix it all together. Pour into a baking tray and slide the tray into the hot oven. Leave the veg to roast for 20 minutes. The toms will soften, the shallots will roast and brown, and the olives will shrivel and become strong and salty. Take the tray out and rest it somewhere safe. Rub the cod all over with a slice 2 of the lemon, now lay the lemon CAN YOU COOK JOHN S ORIGINAL? Baked Cod, Tomatoes, Lemon and Olives Being an Aussie, I didn t grow up with cod, but wow, I think it s ace. It deserves to be cooked in a way that keeps the sweet flesh moist so that it falls apart at the seams, and this is a foolproof traybake fish dish that will guarantee it does just that. All the vegetables are roasted for a good 20 minutes first, then the fish is plonked on top and put in the oven. It is simple as simple can be. I like this with mashed potato, but serve it with whatever you want slices on top of the tomatoes and place a piece of cod, skin-side up, on top of each slice. Rub the remaining oil over the skin. Slide the tray back into the oven for 10 minutes, no more. * Take the tray out, lift the cod gently onto 3 warm dishes, discard the lemon, peel the skin off the fish and throw that away, too. Sprinkle the fish with a little rock salt. Pour the tomato mix into a bowl, and 4 using a fork, sort of squash the tomatoes a little so they become a chunky sauce. Spoon the tomatoes over the fish and scatter over the parsley if you want to be fancy. * But remember, John Torode instructed RT s Michael Hodges to give it an extra five minutes! Or try... Once the fish is on the plates, I sometimes mix a good tablespoon of crème fraîche into the tray to make creamed tomatoes.

20 FARAWAY SO CLOSE Autistic five-year-old Joe Hughes (Max Vento) loses himself in music 20

21 The A Word Tuesday 9.00pm BBC1 The boy ın a world of his own Peter Bowker won a Bafta for Marvellous and now he s tackling autism. But everything he writes is inspired by his years as a hospital porter INTERVIEW BY GINNY DOUGARY Talking to Peter Bowker is a little like watching his TV dramas serious subjects are injected with a comical counterpoint which deftly offsets the intensity. It s almost an instinctive thing for me, he says, and probably an instinctive thing our family did it becomes second nature. He s friendly with Craig Cash, the actor and co-writer of The Royle Family, and the two have been comparing notes on a great many funerals (ever a source of dark humour) they both seem to have attended recently. There was a lad at one funeral who was particularly distraught and was asked Were you close to Joan? to which the reply was, Well, she was the only woman who d let me smoke in the house. So that was his tragedy, says Bowker. There s always that germ of comedy around sometimes to help you survive and it feels to me that s the way people are. Most recently, we saw Bowker s adaptation of John Lanchester s Capital, about the not entirely enviable lives of different families living in an aspirational street of south-west London, forced to unite when they are targeted by a series of sinister leaflets. The appealing Toby Jones played a banker in the series and also starred in Bowker s previous Bafta award-winning Marvellous as Neil Baldwin, a special-needs adult who has lived the most charmed and charming life, fulfilling all his dreams, despite his disability. Bowker s new series, The A Word, is about how a couple (and their extended family) deals with the realisation that their five-year-old son, Joe, is autistic. The setting is spectacular, a small community of houses dotted around winding roads cut deep into the hills of the Lake District. It opens with Joe beautiful eyes with a faraway look headphones clamped to his ears, walking along a deserted road singing to an Arctic Monkeys song, Mardy Bum you re all argumentative. And you ve got the face on. Joe s retreat into music with an indie sensibility his personal idyll makes his communication with the outside world even more remote. I wanted to start the journey of challenging the world that he s created for himself and then ask, hopefully, interesting questions about at what stage when intervening in a child s life a child who might be struggling to understand the world are we attacking his personality rather than his disability? Music is important to Bowker.

23 through to The Smiths, became Joe s playlist. A little boy singing such slouchy lyrics makes one smile but it also rings true. Bowker recalls when his now teenage children were small, hooked on the soundtrack of Shrek, singing the words of Hallelujah from their child seats on car journeys, She tied me to a kitchen chair I ve always loved the incongruity of that! And I like the incongruity of looking for moments in the drama where this boy doesn t quite fit. I think it s about children who are different and it s a good shorthand for marking out his difference. Like Dennis Potter, one of his writer heroes, he believes in the potency of cheap music to convey profound emotions. In the flesh, he s very indie-looking with his Morrissey haircut. I might as well confess, he laughs, one Christmas me and my mates had all done unfortunate punk haircuts and there was a series of Elvis Presley films at 10am, so this was originally An Elvis. Then Morrissey comes along, and my mate said, Hey, he s copied your look! He blames his kids fish fingers for then ruining his look. I call that my fat Elvis period Bowker was born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, to Eric a poster-writer-cumscreen printer for a cinema chain, and Marie, a barmaid and shop assistant. Their son inherited his parents solid Old Labour values. For him it s a combination of Benn and Healey; Kinnock and Hattersley. What Jeremy Corbyn lacks is a Healey or a Hattersley, that s what worries me about him. He read English and Philosophy at Leeds University, from 1978 to 1981, started writing in a committed way, had two short stories published in tiny magazines and a lot of rejection slips. His fellow students were going off to work as bus drivers, but Bowker thought that an indulgent gesture. You re a bit over-qualified to be a bus driver and there are probably people who need that job. His statement was to become a porter at a hospital in Leeds for people with learning difficulties of all ages: On my first day, I felt fearful, worried, not sure what I was going to encounter, and then within half a day, I felt very at home. If someone is struggling to go to the toilet because they are profoundly physically disabled and you help them, you have a practical, immediate effect. He went away in 1984 to do his teacher training and returned to teach at the hospital because, I liked working with children and adults with very severe problems and I found I had a capacity for that. When he was 30, Bowker decided that, much as he loved this work, he needed to give writing his best shot. He re-mortgaged a house he d bought for 18,000 in a suburb, more downand-going than up-and-coming, and applied to do the creative writing course at the University Men who don t talk about emotions use autism as an alibi no, grow up, mate! of East Anglia, switching from novels to screenwriting on the strength of his dialogue. A year later, Bowker was writing scripts for Casualty. The A Word was first an Israeli production called Yellow Peppers made by Keshet, the company that made the original Homeland and In Treatment. A number of Bowker s dramas have involved adults or young people with special needs, but all his work, he says, is informed by the 14 years that he worked in the hospital It s always about people who are marginalised and feel judged or misjudged or about people who can t communicate. Bowker is concerned that men, in particular, are using Aspergers, a milder form of autism, to hide behind: Men who should know better use it as an alibi to say I don t talk about my emotions because I m on the spectrum. No you re not, mate, grow up! One, it s dishonest and two, it denigrates the real condition. He is wary of being considered any kind of expert. You won t understand autism by watching The A Word although you might understand some small aspects I d really like people who are properly interested to go off and look into it deeper. What he does find gratifying is when people come up to him and talk about their own children. With Marvellous, a mother told him that she had a nine-year-old child, like Neil, and that she was full of fear for his future but that Bowker s drama had helped her to relax. That s not what I set out to do but it s nice when it happens. I ve been incredibly lucky to do two jobs that I ve absolutely loved and that have been joyous. It s a real privilege. FROM WARD TO SCREEN Peter Bowker isn t the only writer who was inspired by working in a hospital JED MERCURIO The Line of Duty writer (see page 10) used his experiences as a hospital physician to pen medical dramas Cardiac Arrest (1994) and Bodies (2004).

24 SPECIAL REPORT promise 9,000 Radio Times readers gave their views on the future of the BBC at the invitation of the Culture Secretary. But John Whittingdale didn t read them, reveals RT editor Ben Preston RACHEL YOUNG; REX When the Culture Secretary John Whittingdale appealed last summer for viewers and listeners to join a national debate to shape the future of the BBC, Radio Times took him at his word. In August, we published 16 questions echoing those in the Culture Department s official consultation and invited readers to make their voice heard. At stake was the future of the BBC and the Royal Charter that underpins it: big questions from the size of the corporation to the kind of programmes it makes and even the future of the licence fee itself. Your response was astonishing particularly in an age where people are supposedly disillusioned by the political process. More than 9,000 of you replied. Some 3,000 people sent back meticulously compiled questionnaires through the post, putting a heavy strain on the RT post room. A further 6,000 of you responded online with thoughtful, considered views. Mr Whittingdale welcomed this unprecedented response from RT readers in September. A spokesman for his department told us: The BBC is one of this nation s most treasured institutions We are committed to a thorough and open Charter Review and want to hear everyone s views. We welcome the contribution from Radio Times readers. So we had a spring in our step when we handed your replies to the Culture Department in October. Few people know television and radio as well as Radio Times readers. This magazine prefers to give our readers a voice and the information you need to form a view rather than to launch shrill campaigns in your name. It felt like mission accomplished when we delivered a sack bulging with your written replies and a memory stick loaded with the 6,000 responses we received online. We also published in these pages a summary of your views, which included 96% support for the principle of a publicly funded broadcaster, with 91% supporting the licence fee. Six months later, on 1 March, Mr Whittingdale published the results of his consultation in a report. The next day he told a distinguished audience at the Oxford Media Convention that this report would influence the new draft Royal Charter: Every response we received matters. Every response has been read. But there was a problem. Mr Whittingdale wasn t telling the truth. That s a serious charge for a magazine to make. How do we know that the Secretary of State was wrong to say that every response has been read? The answer is simple. When Radio Times submitted the memory stick containing those 6,000 replies from readers, we encrypted it so that your names and addresses were protected until they reached the civil service team responsible for summarising the public s views. We included a short explanatory note with a telephone number explaining that we d reveal the password to unlock the file once it arrived in the right hands. But that telephone call never came. The views of more than 6,000 Radio Times readers were not read they were ignored. Instead the Department s report merely acknowledged it had received other feedback from 8,500 RT readers (sic, the real figure was more than 9,000). We asked the Culture Department what had happened. Their answers took a while coming and were, to be polite, somewhat opaque. At first the department stood by Mr Whittingdale s words to the Oxford conference. Only when challenged about how they read every response without being able to open the memory stick, did they change tack. A spokeswoman insisted the digital responses were still being taken into consideration even though the consultation report has now been published and the department still I M LISTENING Culture Secretary John Whittingdale 24

25 WE LISTENED Your responses to the survey overwhelmed the RT postroom hasn t asked for the password that would allow them to read them. Radio Times readers written responses, said the spokeswoman, had also been fed into the thinking summarised in the report but could not be included in the 192,000 replies on which it was based because RT s questions differed from the official ones. It s true that some of the questions Radio Times presented to readers were different from the official ones. We had, as you might expect, Every response has been read JOHN WHITTINGDALE, 1 MARCH translated officialese into plain English so they could be easily understood. So is this shameful mess the result of a conspiracy or a cock-up? Or both? Mr Whittingdale is known to have been deeply suspicious of the consultation exercise conducted by his own department because the majority of replies were triggered by a campaigning group called 38 Degrees. A news story in the Daily Telegraph even suggested he was so alarmed that the process had been hijacked by left-wingers that he had considered paying for focus groups as an alternative way to establish what the public thinks about the BBC. In the event this didn t happen but the Culture Department was so overwhelmed by the work of analysing 192,000 responses, it flew workers from Her Majesty s Revenue and Customs down from Scotland to help out. Perhaps this daunting workload prompted officials to find a technicality that allowed them to save them time and effort by excluding RT readers 9,000 responses? Mr Whittingdale is certainly no friend of the BBC as it is now. His views are well-known because for a decade he chaired the Culture and Media Select Committee. As you can see from the panel alongside, the decision to exclude RT readers from the process also excluded some trenchant supporters of the principle of publicly funded broadcasting. However, our readers did not give the BBC a blank cheque and many expressed doubts about the numbers of shinyfloor entertainment shows and irritation with high-profile scheduling clashes. But whatever the truth, the Secretary of State must now act decisively if he wants to regain the trust of Radio Times readers and secure real public support for any changes he seeks to make at the BBC. Mr Whittingdale needs to demonstrate that he is a man of his word: the views of all 9,000 Radio Times readers must be read and published by his department. THE BBC S FUTURE WHAT YOU SAID Three-quarters of you say that the BBC should NOT have its services cut back even if it mean a cheaper licence fee support the principle of a 96% publicly funded broadcaster, with 91% saying the licence fee is the best way of channelling public money to the BBC 85% of you believe that the BBC s output is of sufficiently high quality and distinctive from other broadcasters of you do not want a portion of the BBC s income to be 80% handed to other public service broadcasters to make news or children s programming the so-called top-slicing option of you who are over 75 and 81% eligible for a free TV licence would consider following the advice of Joan Bakewell and reject the freebie when the cost of the exemption is transferred from the Government to the BBC in % 79% of you thought that the licence fee which has been frozen since 2010 should rise in line with inflation from 2017 of you believe that the BBC has the right mix of genres across its channels and services while of you believe the BBC should 41% make fewer entertainment shows while a similar proportion 42 per cent believe that the BBC should try and avoid high profile scheduling clashes with rival broadcasters. This means, of course, that 58 per cent of you don t mind if, say, Strictly Come Dancing is on at the same time as The X Factor BEN DOWELL RadioTimes March

26 Heston s Dinner in Space Sunday 6.00pm C4 Pigs in space! THE SECRET OF astronaut nutrition, says Heston Blumenthal, is keeping the astronauts happy with a very British combination of tea and bacon sandwiches. Halfway through his six months on the International Space Station, Tim Peake has completed his first spacewalk, tweeted Lincolnshire schoolchildren, bumped into weightless cosmonauts and donned his dinner jacket for a Michelin-quality meal. Astronauts before him have been sustained on freeze-dried, vacuum-packed, tasteless meals concocted by scientists. Peake has had his meals specially created by Michelinfestooned restaurateur and food scientist Blumenthal. Blumenthal has spent the past two years preparing a feast for Peake from sausage sizzle and Thai red curry to apple crumble and Key lime pie in partnership with the European Space Agency. The chef s philosophy behind the meals has been to come up with seven morale-boosting dishes designed to stimulate Peake s memories of home as well as his taste buds. Because despite orbiting 220 miles above Earth, everybody misses their home comforts, and what could lift the spirits more than a hot cup of tea and a bacon sandwich? Why a bacon sandwich? It s what many Brits miss most when we re away from home. If we re to visit Mars, we need to think of food for astronauts as more than fuel, we have to understand it s a moodchanger. This was a wonderful opportunity to see the power of food to connect with our memories. That s what I tried with Tim to give him food that would link him with Earth. Is this your greatest triumph? Yes, I m proud of that, of bringing that very British taste to Tim as he goes round Earth hundreds of times a day. It was supposed to be a treat for later, but he had it the first day! Heston Blumenthal reveals how he made a bacon sandwich for Tim Peake and sent it into orbit It must be the most expensive bacon sandwich in the world! Do you know what it costs to send a tin of your food up there? I heard the fuel cost alone was a couple of million pounds. When I saw the rocket docking at the Space Station I thought, All those millions and billions of pounds over the years, and all those people that work so hard, and all that modern technology and advancement, and this rocket is taking cans of my food into space! Professionally, what are the main challenges of an orbital meal? Without gravity the way the fluids in your body behave changes and it can put pressure on your sinuses. This, in turn, affects your sense of smell and taste. That s why astronauts like spicy foods and I made sure there was a curry in Tim s selection. And of course it can t be past its sell-by date. A bad tummy would be unfortunate? Oh, it would be terrible. Because the air has to be so clean. Also there s no hospital if somebody was really ill up there, what would happen? That s why they often take big commercial brands of biscuits and chocolates because they know the production process they have been through. PLACING HIS ORDER Tim Peake met Heston to cook up his bacon sandwich 26

27 Why did you opt for tins over other space food packaging options like pouches? I realised early in the process of development that the dishes I wanted to do would only work in tins. That s partly safety you tin something leave it for a period of time and then test it to be sure there s nothing bad in there. But it was also about the texture and the taste, there was just no other way to do a bacon sandwich. What about a glass of wine? The Russians used to send pouches of vodka up I heard that as well! But I never asked about alcohol, not even a glass of wine. But you just can t imagine them having a drink with all of the things that they have to do day and night. They even sleep standing up in sleeping bags. I d crave a proper cuppa and a ham and cheese sandwich What would you miss if you were in space? It would be tea from a cup and an ordinary sandwich. When we were filming in Munich, we sent out for sandwiches and these massive great big baguettes came back. In space I wouldn t want one of those gastronomic deli sandwiches with pesto and aubergine, pine nuts and raisins. I d have ham and cheese. Has it been odd watching Tim in space? The most strange, wonderful, powerful and nerve-racking thing was when we both tried the food together over the video link when he was up there and I was at the European Space Station. Tim really liked the salmon meal we made. He had a very happy memory of going on a canoeing and salmon fishing trip when he was young and we re-created that in a tin. I had a lump in my throat. It really hit me and I wasn t even up in space, plucked away from my family. I was here. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF Tim tweets his thanks from 220 miles above Earth Does your work with Tim have implications for us earthlings? I would like us all to eat with that kind of mindfulness. If food can help your psychological wellbeing in space, then it can do the same here. You could take a raisin and just roll it in your fingers and think about it. Or enjoy a biscuit. It s only a biscuit, but think about the taste and the memories it evokes. When did Tim last call? I got an from him an from space! That s something that you never think will happen. One Italian astronaut told me he got a tax bill and replied, Sorry, I m out of the planet for a while. MICHAEL HODGES MAX ALEXANDER/UK SPACE AGENCY 27

28 Britain s Whales/Sharks Good Friday ITV Ellie Harrison is contemplating the challenges of modern motherhood. Should she, for instance, discourage her two daughters current obsession with all things pink and princessy? Before I had children I was part of this pink stinks campaign because of what the colour pink represented, but since having them I have realised that if you ban things, they want them all the more. Also, why would I try to turn them into me just because I think that s awful? They re individuals with personalities; just because I am that way doesn t mean they should become me. Disney 1, Ellie 0. Soon her two daughters Red (6) and Lux (5) will have something, or rather someone, that might entice them away from the dressing up box: a new sibling. The 38-year-old Countryfile presenter is expecting her third child in May but she s not giving any clues about whether her daughters will get a brother or sister to play with. It s an exciting surprise, she chuckles playfully. For her and partner Matt Goodman? For us all! The new arrival means she will be absent from Countryfile for several months: I will take some time off, certainly until winter. It will be lovely playing mummy for the summer. She s under no illusions about how difficult it will be juggling parenting and programmemaking on her return. Even if I wanted to, I couldn t be a Steve Backshall or a Bear Grylls because you can t be on huge expeditions for weeks and months on end and be present in your children s lives. You simply can t have it all. It is absolutely different for daddies. It just is. If you hear about women doing the same, people look on very anxiously and nervously. Plus, she says, it is hugely important for her to be at home with the children. I didn t have them to be raised by somebody else. But having said that I do want them to see me work and see me work in a job that I love. I want my children to see me work and in a job that I love Danger mum Ellie Harrison has just swum with 150 sharks and a dead whale. Now she s about to take the plunge with baby number three If they re allowed to stay up on Friday night Red and Lux they were just top-of-the-head beautiful names will see mum and Ben Fogle in search of the whales and sharks that feed in British coastal waters in the summer. It meant six days at sea I have done eight days away before but that was on the verge of being too long because the girls are so young and six minutes in the sea surrounded by what s thought to be the largest gathering of sharks ever recorded off our coast. But let s rewind. In order to attract the sharks they needed bait. A lot of it. Eventually it 28

29 WATER WORLD Left, Ellie in scuba gear and, above, the whale carcass being set upon by sharks I don t think I was frightened... actually that s a complete lie ELLIE HARRISON emerged in the form of a 9m-long, seven-ton humpback whale that had died off the Scottish coast after becoming tangled up in fishing line. We had been on standby for two years waiting for the right whale to come along, she says. It became known as the Goldilocks whale it couldn t be too big for the container that we d transport it in and couldn t be too small and not fulfil its purpose. If that sounds callously opportunistic, it isn t. Most, if not all, whales that wash up dead around our coastline end up in landfill an ignominious end for such a noble creature. And Ellie admits to being moved by its plight. I m someone who never cries. But when this crane lifted her up and the huge body was dangling there, whereas normally she d be suspended in water, I was choked up by it. Logistically I guess it s easier putting them in landfill, but it s really expensive it costs tens of thousands of pounds. Ultimately it would be great if they could just be returned to the sea. This one was, though it spent three months being chilled and preserved in liquid nitrogen awaiting the seasonal arrival of the sharks. Then, late last summer, the whale all 15 million calories of it was transported to Devon, hitched to the back of a boat and, supported by buoyancy bags, towed out to an area between the British and southern Irish coast known as the Celtic Deep. There, in the warming waters the sharks, as well as dolphins and whales, arrive to feed. But in what numbers no one had any idea. On the first night, two blue sharks were seen ripping into the whale carcass. Ellie went into the water the following day and got the shock of her life. These blue sharks were everywhere. We estimated 100 to 150 but it could easily have been so many more. It was an extraordinary sight. Wasn t she just the tiniest bit scared? I don t think I was frightened... actually that s a complete lie. By the time I got into the water fear definitely was at play. Nobody had ever done this type of experiment in British waters before so there was such a huge sense of the unknown. There was the dive element, the shark element We were right next to the bait ball. I was at the head end and that was where most of the feeding was taking place. Being right next to that really was quite unnerving. But the thing I will remember for ever is looking down into this darkness and seeing so many sharks. So intense was the shark activity and remember this is just 50 miles off the UK coast that one cameraman was bitten on the backside. At which point they were all pulled out. Because there were so many sharks in the water, something in their behaviour began to change. They started to investigate us. They never became threatening but it seemed our presence did increase their nervousness. It was a bit of a relief to come out, but also disappointment that it was over so quickly. I was only in for five or six minutes. I never really got to find my calm place down there! With filming over, the partly eaten body of the whale was sunk, eventually coming to rest 86 metres down on the seabed where it will continue to be studied by experts. Her appetite whetted, Ellie says she s keen to find other projects that bring her that close to wildlife, though she has no intention of scaling back her involvement in Countryfile. I don t think so I hope not anyway. I would love to do more like this to be more physically engaged in natural history. I am not really a big brave Steve Backshall type and having children certainly makes you feel that you are responsible for returning home. Also, getting older makes you feel less invincible and much more aware of danger. But I am really up for things. Including, for the moment, indulging two little pink princesses.

30 Ross Kemp s Britain Tuesday 9.00pm Sky1 Camp Bastion holds no terrors for Ross Kemp. The soap starturned-war reporter has faced down the Taliban, jockeyed with fanatics of Islamic State, taken on hit men from Colombian drug cartels and not turned a hair (yes, I know he hasn t got any hair to turn, but you know what I mean). There s only one place left he s afraid of, apparently and that s Albert Square. I ve had sniper rounds go through the wall behind me, and I am quite cool under fire. I m good at dealing with things like that, he says. But I m wetting myself at the thought of going back to EastEnders. But back he is going, for three weeks, to reprise his character Grant Mitchell at the deathbed of his old mum, Peggy, played by Barbara Windsor, in scenes that will air later this year; it will all no doubt be a model of dignified restraint and understated acting. The way he tells it, he had no choice. It s impossible to say no to Barbara, he says. She is, after all, Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Also, in her earlier days, a reallife gangster s moll. But, for Kemp, who spent a decade on the show in the 90s, it s the stuff of nightmares. You d dismiss it as the usual luvvie twittering but he, and his anxiety, seem real. I m panicking about everything. About whether I ve lost the ability to learn all the lines. About whether I can cope with it all Grant Mitchell may be the quintessential workingclass role, but Ross Kemp s problem is the middle-class ethics I was brought up with.

31 just thinking I would have pulled out of there hours ago, when it suddenly got much worse. I had to switch it off. It stirred memories I d rather forget. I still had reservations when I settled down to watch his new series on Britain, the country I love. He wears his patriotism on his sleeve, or would do if they weren t always rolled up to show his bulging forearms. But, you know what? His programmes are gripping. OK, there s too much of him in them, for my taste. And, he says, for his: To be honest, I hate all that eponymous, Ross Kemp on stuff. But his take on it all is the point, and most of the time his subjects don t want to be identified, so there are long stretches where we watch DIFFICULT SUBJECTS Kemp investigates immigration, child abuse and alcohol in Britain in his latest series I saw his Afghanistan programme I was probably looking for something to scorn Kemp s pudgy, almost baby-like face, express agonised perplexity. It s those he speaks to, and where he gets to, that give the programmes heft and insight. The Romanian lorry driver in the immigration programme who cheerfully describes how he smuggles people into Britain. Everybody has a right to a better life, the driver says. Charity, really, though I am sure the money comes in handy. The raid on illegal construction workers the Indians cheerful because they know they can t be easily repatriated, the Albanians distraught because they can be deported in 24 hours. The banana packing plant staffed by (legal) European migrants because, it seems, Brits would rather stay on benefits than do those kinds of jobs. Kemp doesn t come to any great conclusions. I am not trying to be clever. I can t be clever. I just want to clear up the confusion about who s coming to my country, the country that I love. He blames successive governments with his party, Labour, most at fault: They just didn t check people, did they? Overall, he has right-on views about immigration being economically beneficial and diversity being a very good thing. But if you find yourself being outnumbered in your village by immigrants you re within your rights to verbalise your concerns, he says. Exactly what Grant Mitchell would say, I imagine. He s very cut up about child sexual exploitation in another programme and produces a string of heart-rending cases of girls, and boys, who ve been groomed, abominably abused and more than half-destroyed. Not just by the usual suspects, but by generations of boys their own age whose attitude to sex have been perverted by the pornography they can so easily access on their smartphones. One sequence, where a policeman in Norfolk takes us through how a 12-year-old girl was groomed by a family man in his late 20s, is one of the most chilling things you ll watch this year. Kemp is a good interviewer. He asks the right questions, and much rarer this knows when to shut up. Fame helps, if he can get any work done after doing endless selfies for people. So does his actor s training. You have to be all things to all people. I trained as a classical actor for three years and I use those skills to change my demeanour, my positioning, my physicality sometimes to get on with different people the officers and the sergeant major. He comes across as engaging and decent and tickled pink at the most remarkable career change in British television. Nobody else has managed to win both Best Actor at the British Soap Awards and a Bafta for Best Factual Programme. Nobody else has had to cut short a battlefield tour of Afghanistan to appear in Snow White at the New Wimbledon Theatre with Bobby Davro. To be honest, Michael, I love acting, don t get me wrong. But you have to be nice to lots of people and you have to be worried at every turn that you are no longer fashionable, the face of the week, the month. RadioTimes March

33 He grew up in a solid Essex family his mum was a hairdresser, his dad a policeman and always thought he would be special. But I wasn t considered very bright. Sporty, yes. Clever, no. Acting was great for a time. Being a reporter, though, is a job for grown-ups. I don t have to ask to go to the toilet here. I make the decisions, like an adult. As an actor, that s taken away from you. Lots of people on EastEnders became famous overnight. But without the money, the intellect or the support they just imploded. It s getting exploded he has to watch out for these days. He copes, like a proper reporter, with alcohol, not counselling. Or at least he did until doing a programme on drink, the third of his British series and the toughest of all, it seems. For a start, he says it was far more difficult to get a middle-class Englishman to talk about his drinking habits than it was to persuade a Colombian hit man to admit to gouging out the eyes of his living victims. And then, he s a bit of a drinker himself, rugby-playing boy that I am. He s cut back since making the show and is even calling for alcohol to be made much more expensive: The higher the price, the less we d drink. 3 KEY KEMP-FRONTATIONS O Kemp found himself in hot water in Papua New Guinea in 2014, when filming for the third series of Sky1 documentary Extreme World. Face-to-face with a group of armed guerilla fighters, Kemp, ever the tough guy, grabbed the barrel of one man s shotgun, barking No one s gonna f***ing kill me. O As hardman Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, Kemp had his fair share of tear-ups, most memorably the one at the Arches in 1994 that landed his brother Phil in intensive care. The reason for the garage-set punch-up? Phil had been having it away with Grant s missus Sharon an extra-marital affair that was memorably exposed on the PA system at the Queen Vic! O Much closer to home, in 2005, Kemp s ex-wife Rebekah Brooks was arrested for allegedly assaulting him but was later released without charge. SARAH CARSON DON T SHOOT Taking on guerilla fighters in Papua New Guinea BUST-UP Rebekah Brooks was editor of The Sun when she hit the front pages for allegedly assaulting then husband Kemp GETTY; JOHN FROST NEWSPAPERS him down at the Queen Vic, the fact that Norway has the most expensive alcohol and, Kemp mentioned earlier, the worst drink problem in Europe makes that a logical non sequitur. Innit. He s a settled family man now, after a turbulent, high-profile first marriage to Rebekah Brooks (then Wade), UK boss of the Murdoch newspaper empire. The pair were all over the papers, and not just hers. They were in and out of Number Ten in the Blair years; half the New Labour cabinet came to their wedding. He even did a party political broadcast for Labour, though seems distinctly less enthusiastic about them now. When I ask about Jeremy Corbyn, he winces. Oh God! Pressed, he says, carefully: He s a very FIRST MARRIAGE With his ex-wife, Rebekah Brooks bright man, but I don t believe in his politics. He s keen on David Cameron, though. Effusive, even. I think he s done an incredible job as Prime Minister. Especially over the EU. People are knocking his deal but in the past it would have been hailed as an overwhelming success. It sounds as if his politics have had as big a gear change as his career and his love life. He seems on good terms with Brooks, saying how pleased he is she s back in her old job, cleared of involvement in the phone hacking scandal. I have no bad feelings about my ex-wife at all. I wouldn t have stayed with that person for 13 years if there hadn t been some very happy times. The unhappy times, when she was arrested after he complained to the police she d assaulted him, for instance, are not for discussion. She s very happily remarried and I m very happily remarried, he says. Cut. He has a nine-month-old son with his present wife, the lawyer Renee O Brien, as well as another five-year-old son from a previous relationship with his make-up artist. I have had my family late in life, and my overwhelming urge is to look after them, he says. That, and to visit war zones, of course. He s aware of the contradiction. But proud that, at 51, he can still sprint through the rubble with two stones in weight of body armour. I m quite a vain person, really, even without the hair. To be honest. Besides, the control over his documentaries is intoxicating, even if his alcohol intake isn t these days. I come up with the ingredients, bake the cake, box it and sell it, he says. I am about to ask him if he d thought of appearing on Bake Off, like that septuagenarian danger mouse John Simpson. But there s a Grant Mitchell glint in his eye, and I think better of it.

David Coulthard says Murray Walker and a boy racer called Hamilton will make his F1 show a winner David Coulthard is bullish about Channel 4 s prospects when it takes over Formula One coverage from the BBC this season. He has to be he turned down one of the biggest jobs in TV to do it. It was a possibility, yes, he says when asked if Chris Evans offered him a spot in his revamped Top Gear. But the time commitment for Formula One wouldn t work with Top Gear. I m a fan of the show in its previous format. I m sure the new format will be different yet entertaining. But Formula One is my natural environment. Even if Coulthard won t be joining his BBC F1 sparring partner Eddie Jordan on the new Top Gear, Channel 4 has clearly taken a leaf out of the show s book when it comes to building a team. Top Gear now has seven presenters, certainly a sizeable squad. But Channel 4 will feature 12 presenters and experts in its F1 coverage, from Welsh presenter Steve Jones, in his very first live-sport role, through to the grandfather of motorsport on TV, Murray Walker. Murray s not going to be travelling to lots of Grands Prix, because he is a more mature member of our line-up, Coulthard says delicately. But he brings a unique perspective on the world championship that is Formula One. He was there for the very first one! He s got one of the most recognisable broadcasting voices leading when the two-minute break occurred. The next lap, he blew up in front of the Mercedes-Benz grandstand and his place was taken by Coulthard. Then he blew up. So when the viewers left us, Hakkinen was leading, Coulthard was second and Jacques Villeneuve was third. When they came back, Villeneuve was leading, with no explanation. One of the canniest signings for Channel 4 could be its expert Nicolas Hamilton, the brother of reigning world champion Lewis. Nic Hamilton has a form of cerebral palsy and is the first driver with a disability to race in the British Touring Car Championship. We know Nic, says Coulthard, whose TV company will produce Channel 4 s F1 coverage. We know his hopes and desires. We also know, of course, that he s got an amazing insight into one of the most successful drivers of our time. Then there s Steve Jones, the former presenter of T4 and X Factor USA, who will anchor the coverage. Coulthard has had experience of help- Nic has amazing insight into one of our most successful drivers DAVID COULTHARD PANACHE David Coulthard says F1 coverage will be less earnest at Channel 4 ing a novice: Jake Humphrey had never covered F1 before fronting the BBC s coverage in I love the BBC, I ve done a lot of work with them, says Coulthard, but they can be quite earnest. They re great at delivering the information, but I think we re going to deliver it with a bit more panache. If Channel 4 s coverage is to be a success, then the DC and Jones duo needs to be firing on all cylinders. I m very lucky, Coulthard says. The underlying draw is that I m a fan of Formula One. I see the excitement in it. I get excited just staring at a car, I marvel at the engineering brains that have decided it should look that way. To put a live show on the air takes a big team. I like bringing people together. That s what I did at the end of my Formula One career, and that s what I m doing now.

36 Film EDITED BY ANDREW COLLINS My big fat sequel ALLSTAR; GETTY; ALAMY Nia Vardalos talks Greek weddings, babies and bringing Bake Off to the USA The last time we saw Toula and Ian on the big screen back in 2002, they were living next to her loud Greek family, waving their six-year-old off to school. My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the story of a young woman struggling to combine her parents Greek traditions with opportunities as one of the first generation to grow up in Chicago, made Nia Vardalos (who wrote and starred) hot property in Hollywood. The small-budget romantic comedy, made for just $5 million, went on to gross $368 million, making it one of the most successful films of its type, and earning Vardalos an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay. Having failed even to get her script read a few years earlier, Vardalos, born in Canada to Greek parents, had turned it into a one-woman off-broadway play. Fellow Greek actress Rita Wilson (married to Tom Hanks) came to see it and asked her whether she d consider turning it into a film. Suddenly, I would be talking and studio executives would be laughing so hard, and I thought, I m the same person! I m no funnier than I was last year. But my parents raised me well, none of it went to my head. When I go home, I m not treated any differently to my cousin Tommy, who works for IBM actually, he s more special because he can fix our computers! Vardalos s family is the key to her success. The film is so autobiographical that even the names are the same. Her husband is a non-greek called Ian (Gomez, also an actor) and she really does have an Aunt Voula: She ll show you the tiny scar where she claims they took out her twin. Whenever I introduce her to anyone she ll say, I m the real Aunt Voula. The original! And her parents really did freak out about her leaving home The only way I got to go away to theatre school (she is an alumni of Chicago s Second City theatre troupe) was by telling my dad that 500 people auditioned across Canada, they only accepted 25 kids and that I was the only Greek. He reluctantly said, Entaxi [meaning OK in Greek]. The pressure to write a sequel was huge. Vardalos was wary, though. Having left her filmself with a young daughter, she didn t want to compromise on authenticity by writing about something she hadn t experienced. She wanted to wait until she, too, was waving her daughter off to school. Following 13 rounds of IVF, however, her dream remained just that, until she and Ian adopted three-year-old Ilaria, a journey that inspired Vardalos to write New York Times bestseller Instant Mom. I got the idea for the second film on my daughter s first day at kindergarten, she recalls. I started writing but didn t tell anyone, so when I was asked for the millionth time about a sequel, I said, Here it is! The reaction was so funny. We were out within 14 months. John Corbett returns as Ian, much to Vardalos s delight. People say, Oh, it s just work. Rubbish! There s a scene where we re in a car, sexy Aidan (Corbett s Sex and the City character) and me. It s a great job! The best lines in the film, however, are given to the female characters. You may not have heard it yet but the catchphrase Pull my neck! before a photograph is taken has already led to a stream of Pull my neck selfies online, while women of a certain age will be trying the trick for years to come. As a writer, the 53-year-old explains, it s an absolutely conscious decision to create strong roles for women. Every woman is struggling because there s a dearth of roles in Hollywood. I can t complain, I just have to keep writing. But my real goal is parity both genders equally represented within one screenplay and I m hoping that my male counterparts will do the same and stop saying, Hey, there are two women in there. What are you complaining about? They have no last names, one is a wife, A HELLENIC HIT My Big Fat Greek Wedding scored big at the box office in 2002 one is a whore it s tedious. The pressure is already on for a third film And I m like, Hang on! During number two, a lot of ideas did start coming to me, and I m not done with Toula and her family yet. I would like to take them back to Greece, so I m looking through my schedule to try to make time. Any excuse to go to Greece to be honest, and anything I might be able to do that helps the economy and the people right now. Vardalos goes back to Greece to visit family and take in her favourite spot overlooking the caldera in Santorini at least once a year. People are struggling in Greece. In Athens, you see that the buildings can t be maintained and my own cousins are struggling. It s heartbreaking. But in time, we will rise up. I have tremendous belief in the Greek people. We do best as evident with the Syrian refugees when faced with adversity, that s when the Greek character really comes out. We are proud 36 RadioTimes March 2016

37 people and incredibly generous. I haven t paid for Greek salads since the first movie even now, however much I insist! In the meantime, there s another sequel on Vardalos s mind. Last year she and her husband presented the American version of The Great British Bake Off featuring our CHEEKY GIRLS Nia introduced Mary Berry to an appreciative US audience FAMILY PORTRAIT Nia Vardalos and John Corbett return for the sequel this time with a teenage daughter own Mary Berry, which is being reprised. She is so dreamy! the actress sighs. She makes you want to sit up straight and be a good person but she s hilarious. We don t have Paul Hollywood, we have Johnny Iuzzini, an American pastry chef, and he flirted outrageously with her and she d go, Oh, you re a cheeky monkey! My husband and I are the American Mel and Sue and we wanted to do all of it the puns, the tasting, the drinking whenever there s brandy on the set, we try to out-mel and out-sue each other! And there s the small matter of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 s premiere although funnily enough, it s not that small. I have 27 first cousins, with their husbands, wives and children, there s about 60 of them and they re all coming to the premiere in New York. I m going to need a lot of tickets. ALEXIA SKINITIS MY MOVIES BY BARRY NORMAN The Red Shoes Saturday 2.20pm BBC2 (not Scotland) Bored by ballet? Don t miss this There have been goodness knows how many films featuring ballet (I lost count) pretty much from Charlie Chaplin s Limelight to the recent, much overpraised Black Swan. But the best of them, 68 years after it was made, is still surely Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger s The Red Shoes. It was the first film in which ballet itself took centre stage, the rest of the action the love, the jealousy, the resentment revolving around it. And it made an instant star on her debut of the 21-year-old ballerina Moira Shearer. Not that it was intended for her. P and P wrote it initially as a vehicle for Merle Oberon, wife of the producer Alexander Korda. When that plan fell through, they decided to reconstruct the story with the emphasis on the dance itself. At which point non-balletomanes might say: Well, I won t bother with that then. Which would be a big mistake for this is a gloriously sumptuous and dramatic film, whose mood switches quickly from light to shade and back again and culminates in a lengthy, tense and deeply moving dance sequence. Shearer plays an unknown young dancer whose talent is recognised by the charming but ruthless Anton Walbrook, impresario of the Ballet Lermontov. Early on he asks her: Why do you want to dance? To which she replies: Why do you want to live? Also in the company is a gifted young composer, Marius Goring, whose latest work is a ballet called The Red Shoes, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen s story of the girl who couldn t stop dancing. And Walbrook gives the leading role to Shearer. Now come the romantic complications. To Walbrook s fury Shearer and Goring fall in love and marry. Whereas in Andersen s tale the villain is the demonic shoemaker, the only demon in this piece is the bachelor Walbrook. He is fiercely jealous but of whom Shearer or Goring? We are never sure but his resentment is clear and influences whatever happens later. The culmination of this strange tug of love story leaves Shearer with a momentous decision to make: whether to stay with the company and dance for Walbrook or leave with Goring. It s a choice between love for her husband or love for her art. Well, if you ve read Andersen you ll be able to suss out for yourselves how it transpires; all I will say is that whether you love ballet or not you really shouldn t miss it. The performances, dancing and music are faultless and The Red Shoes was hugely influential in studios giving the go-ahead to such dance movies as An American in Paris. It s also recognised as the most popular of P and P s films, which, if you know their oeuvre, is saying a great deal.

After the Sandy Hook school massacre in 2012, Jim Carrey pulled out of a press tour, feeling he couldn t justify the violence in this film ACTION COMEDY The follow-up to 2009 s ironic teen superhero caper is passed down by Matthew Vaughn (originally director/ co-writer, now just a producer) to Jeff Wadlow, who remains true to the spirit of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr s lively graphic novels. The story picks up four years later, with New York dork and by-night crimefighter Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) keen to come out of retirement and form a Batman and Robin with Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz), still an old head on now 15-year-old shoulders. Minus a couple of deceased parents, the cast is virtually the same, with the added plus of Jim Carrey s Colonel Stars and Stripes, a recruit to the homespun justice league. Though cartoonish, it s all unashamedly foul-mouthed and bone-crunchingly violent (Hit Girl pin-cushions a foe with shards of glass in a particularly nasty scene), and will satiate any who enjoyed the first round of stylised mayhem. Supporting Brits Andy Nyman, Iain are a bonus.

He uses kid gloves to depict the two years leading up to 1997 s fatal car crash in Paris, but Naomi Watts takes the biggest risk as the most famous woman in the world. Her Diana is all mannerisms, begging sympathy with fluttering eyelashes and using the same tactics on Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews).

Doris Day plays his wife and Tony Randall the concerned neighbour. It s sophisticated stuff, the last of the Day/Hudson films, shot through with a mordant wit that may chime better with today s audience than it did with movie-goers in the 1960s.

In an astonishing cautionary tale, global warming pushes the planet into a new ice age during a worldwide superstorm. Though there s a human element, focusing on climatologist Dennis Quaid s journey to Manhattan to rescue his trapped son, Jake Gyllenhaal, it s the weather effects that take centre stage.

But assorted midlife crises mess up their bid to re-bond, and comic incompatibilities within the group are exposed. Deftly played by a cast headed by Irish character actor Ned Dennehy, with well-written roles and gorgeous scenery to boot, Downhill is a home-grown treat, and the perfect solution to anyone seeking an alternative to the preponderance of overblown blockbusters.

Howard benefits from near-perfect turns from Chris Hemsworth as Hunt and Daniel Brühl playing Lauda, and evokes the glamour and danger of 1970s F1. The action pivots on the 1976 German Grand Prix, when Lauda crashed and burned. It s thoughtful and informative but also doesn t forget to be thrilling.

As a troubled teen, Emily Browning is haunted by ghosts that reveal secrets about her stepmother-to-be (Elizabeth Banks). It s more heightened-reality family drama than flat-out horror with insipid shocks. Browning and Banks make valiant attempts at disguising the true nature of their roles, yet despite polished production values, once again the refined dread of Asian legend gets lost in blandly recycled translation.

40 Sunday 20 ANDREW COLLINS FILM OF THE DAY i Tower Block pm C5 THRILLER From the fertile mind of screenwriter James Moran (Severance, Cockneys vs Zombies) comes a thriller at the economic sharp end that nobody could mistake for Ben Stiller s slick, expensive Tower Heist. Resourcefully and effectively staged by James Nunn and Ronnie Thompson in their co-directorial feature debut, we focus on the last remaining tenants of a condemned London block when an unseen sniper starts to pick them off from a vantage point. Familiar TV faces Sheridan Smith, Julie Graham and Russell Tovey join the seasoned Ralph Brown (Withnail & I) and the mighty Jack O Connell in a risky escape, with internal conflict a constant disuniting force. There is something of the classic disaster movie about this motley gang in a fight for survival but leavened by social realism and a near-total lack of glamour. Amid the laser sights and sudden death, there is a backstory here, too. It forms a pair with another low-budget Brit tower-block thriller, Containment. (UK 2012, violence, swearing, drug abuse, HD) DAYTIME i Justin and the Knights of Valour pm C5 g m ADVENTURE There are distinct echoes of The Emperor s New Clothes, The Sword in the Stone, How to Train Your Dragon and even Peter Pan in this old-fashioned medieval yarn. It s far from original, but it is less frantic than other animated films and perhaps that will endear some viewers. Freddie Highmore voices the boy who dreams of becoming a knight in a kingdom where they are banned but which needs protection when dark forces threaten. The voice cast also features Julie Walters, David Walliams, Saoirse Ronan, Barry Humphries and Antonio Banderas, a fact that may draw in older viewers, although the story is strictly for very young children. DA (Sp 2013) j DID YOU KNOW? A trained hawk was used to scare away the seagulls that showed up on the set throughout shooting EVENING i Percy Jackson: Sea of m Monsters pm C4 g FANTASY Three years after Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief, the half-human son of sea god Poseidon pops up again, carried on a wave of the novels popularity. This is a world where Greek deities, humans and demigods coexist, with Logan Lerman reprising the starring role. The first film was an underrated gem ideal for pre-teens but the second is a bit sketchy. This time, Percy must retrieve the fabled Golden Fleece, dodging obstacles that include a giant mechanical bull, a cyclops and the great sea beast Charybdis. But too often the plot hits choppy waters and only just about stays afloat. DA (US 2013, edited for violence, HD) OOH ERR, MISSUS! MAE WEST AT HER BEST I m No Angel pm Gold y COMEDY Mae West may have made Cary Grant a star, but she does have a few things to be proud of in her own right not least the sheer number of her quotes that are now part of popular culture. Her first role in Night after Night (1932) was minor, but she wrote herself extra dialogue and a moment with a cloakroom attendant got her noticed: Goodness, what beautiful diamonds! Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie. In I m No Angel (on TV for the first time in 25 years), you can hear: Peel me a grape, It s not the men in your life, it s the life in your men and best known of all, Come up and see me sometime. Frustrated, co-star George Raft complained, She stole everything but the cameras! Sue Robinson (US 1933, BW) i I m So Excited pm BBC4 LATE NIGHT The Taking of Pelham pm-1.00am C4 j BLACK COMEDY A frantic tale from director Pedro Almodóvar centres on three air stewards trying to raise morale on a stricken passenger plane as it scours Spain for a landing strip. After a brief cameo from former Almodóvar discoveries Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz, the film erupts into the kind of lurid, skittish farce the director made before 1988 s Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown brought him international art house fame. Long-time Almodóvar fans will get a buzz of nostalgia from its amped-up silliness, but his more serious recent films have been much, much better. DW (Sp/US 2013, sexual scenes, HD) Harry Brown 10.45pm-12.35am C5 z THRILLER Inevitably, this featurelength debut for director Daniel Barber will be labelled a Death Wish for the noughties, though it has as much to say about social conditions in neglected inner-city areas as it does about Michael Caine s doddery dispenser of justice. He is a 70-something ex-serviceman whose life on a run-down estate ruled by gangs of feral teenagers is thrown upside down when his best friend is murdered. Determined to see justice done, Harry then hobbles into gun-toting, death-dealing action. This gritty British revenge thriller is a shade melodramatic, especially in its portrayal of the gangs. But Caine is surprisingly convincing. Fans of Gran Torino will not be dissappointed. DA (UK 2009, violence, swearing, sex scenes, drug abuse, nudity, HD) j CRIME Director Tony Scott s remake of the 1974 classic, about a New York subway hijacking, has little to add to the original. Denzel Washington cannot hope to capture the weary sang-froid of the late, great Walter Matthau as the subway train controller who tensely negotiates with a crazed hijacker, here played by John Travolta in full scenery-chewing mode. Scott brings his trademark pyrotechnics but little else. Worse, Brian Helgeland s screenplay strips all the irony and mordant wit of the original in which the cranky hostages on their daily commute were even more unlikeable than the hostage-takers. A hijacking movie that s been hijacked, then.

Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) is a 16-year-old girl who has been tutored to kill by her ex-cia dad (Eric Bana), and she s forced to apply those skills when she s targeted by a brilliantly icy Cate Blanchett who is determined to terminate her. Ronan s character is utterly fascinating, a kind of holy fool who sees the modern world through innocent eyes, but who could also break your neck with a flick of her wrist, while Wright succeeds in blending the surreal atmosphere with great action and well-sketched supporting characters. Tom Hollander s shell-suit wearing, peroxide-coiffed thug is a particularly exotic pleasure. AS (US/UK/Ger 2011, violence, swearing, HD) Madeline pm C5 y Sweet comedy about an orphan.

The great white whale always looks phoney; it performed badly in high seas off the coasts of Ireland and the Canaries, pushing the budget through the roof. In addition, Gregory Peck as Captain Ahab is miscast, completely lacking demonic presence. Wags at the time joked that Orson Welles, who plays Father Mapple, should have played the whale, while Peck himself thought that Huston should have played Ahab. AT (UK/US 1956, some violence) Tall in the Saddle pm Movies4Men RT Gardening y WESTERN If ever there was a title made for Big John Wayne, this is it. However, the Duke barely gets a look-in, as in reality it s more of a vehicle for his co-star Ella Raines, who goes gunning for the Duke in order to woo him. George Gabby Hayes is in here, too, in a complex plot in which Wayne is framed for murder as he discovers Ward Bond s crooked plans to steal Audrey Long s ranch. But none of this matters, really. Edwin L Marin s direction is fast-moving, there are two terrific fist fights, and, for those who wonder what Wayne got up to during the Second World War, you now have the answer. TS (US 1944, BW) Coogan s Bluff pm ITV4 DID YOU KNOW? In A Walk in the Woods (2015), Robert Redford tips his hat to the cliffjumping scene, where he contemplates doing the same with Nick Nolte WESTERN This was once described as the most likeable film ever made and it s not hard to see why. There have been better westerns but none in which the protagonists (bad guys though they might be) were quite so lovable. Butch (Paul Newman) and Sundance (Robert Redford) lead a gang of outlaws who specialise in robbing trains. Butch is the mastermind. Keep thinking, Butch, says Sundance. That s what you re good at. But when the exasperated railway bosses hire a relentless posse to track them down, they flee to Bolivia where, after trying to go straight, then reverting to crime, they end up in the most famous freeze-frame in cinema. Wonderfully enjoyable stuff, and the rapport between Newman and Redford is terrific. (US 1969, violence, HD) j CRIME Clint Eastwood still wore a cowboy hat in his first attempt to move from the western into a contemporary urban setting, but under Don Siegel s taut direction he carried off the switch successfully. In ways the forerunner of Dirty Harry, Eastwood s laconic Arizona sheriff tracking down a murderer in Manhattan was his first character to get upset by big-city sleaze. This stylish and gritty drama set the seal on his screen persona for decades to come and later inspired the McCloud TV series.

All this and Vin Diesel, the baddest action man to emerge from the American B-movie in years. He s the champion of LA s illegal street racing scene whose gang is infiltrated by cop Paul Walker. The breakneck auto races, high-octane hijacks and crash-bang cop chases are absolutely electrifying and of course, they ignited a blockbusting franchise.

The storytelling may be bare-bones, but the movie works primarily as a nightmarish visual experience, the darkness of the moors at night suggesting the depth of inhumanity as the pursuit unfolds. Sabeena Jameen Ahmed shows promise as daughter Laila. Trevor Johnston (UK 2014, violence, swearing, drug abuse, HD) Homefront pm 5STAR j THRILLER This by-the-book movie stars Jason Statham as Phil Broker, a federal agent who quits his job after his wife s death and moves to the Deep South to start a new life with his ten-yearold daughter. Sylvester Stallone s screenplay ticks all the requisite boxes for a clash between cultures and consciences, but Gary Fleder s pedestrian direction robs the story of any momentum. However, Statham does display a tender side rarely seen in his previous action work. TeS (US 2013, edited for language) Wedding Daze 11.45pm-1.15am BBC1 ROMANTIC COMEDY American Pie star Jason Biggs is back in familiar territory here as a lovable loser whose perfect girlfriend drops dead from shock when he proposes. A year later, in an effort to conquer his depression, he spontaneously proposes to waitress Isla Fisher, a girl he s never met before. Inexplicably, she says I do. But, as is common in these genre offerings, the path of new love never runs smooth. Biggs is a likeable leading man and the film makes some excursions into wild and wacky territory, but it never recovers from its unfunny opening, nor the improbability of its premise.

44 Good Friday 25 BARRY NORMAN FILM OF THE DAY m pm BBC2 DAYTIME Overboard 10.20am-12.30pm ITV m 44 Singin in the Rain 5 MUSICAL The best of all Hollywood musicals, a witty, energetic romp that is not simply about love and romance but is about that and something equally fascinating how Hollywood adapted to sound. Gene Kelly is the silent heart-throb, eager (with the aid of Donald O Connor and Debbie Reynolds) to embrace talking pictures, Jean Hagen his dumb co-star whose corncrake voice means she ll never make it and who stands in his way. The film was thrown together quickly and cheaply (as many great movies are) with a mixture of new songs and old, and is forever remembered for two fantastic dance scenes Kelly with the title number and O Connor with Make Em Laugh. Only one thing mars it slightly Kelly s fantasy dance sequence with Cyd Charisse. It s beautifully done and Charisse s legs are a joy to behold but it has nothing to do with the rest of the film and merely holds up the action. Still, never mind everything else is sheer delight. (US 1952) g ROMANTIC COMEDY This charming throwback to the screwball comedies of the 1930s is one of the better vehicles designed for Goldie Hawn. She plays a pampered heiress who loses her memory after falling off her yacht. Carpenter Kurt Russell, who had clashed with her earlier, sees the chance for revenge and convinces her that she is his wife. The chemistry between the two stars (a couple in real life) is complemented by the performances of an experienced supporting cast that includes Katherine Helmond, Roddy McDowall and Edward Herrmann. It s slickly directed by Garry Marshall, who juggles the sharp repartee and knockabout slapstick with ease. JF (US 1987, may be edited for language, HD) WHO S BEHIND THE MAKE-UP?

And who better to play him as a highly decorated war hero than Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford. Here, when the First Family is held hostage on board the presidential jet, Air Force One, by a ruthless gang of terrorists led by Gary Oldman, President James Marshall (Ford) decides to fight back and escapes into the plane s hold. Meanwhile Vice President Glenn Close is left to take Oldman s phone calls in Washington. If you liked Die Hard 2, you ll enjoy the midair mayhem in this stunt-filled thriller that s brimming with nasty villains and daring deeds. SuR (US 1997, violence, swearing, HD) of the Tin Man is Jack Haley, star of stage and radio; the Cowardly Lion is Bert Lahr, a two-reeler comic and father of theatre critic John Lahr; and the Wicked Witch was a defining role for hardworking Ohio character actress Margaret Hamilton, who was definitely not green in real life. Though no longer with us, all four were immortalised thanks to their ingenious, unforgettable Oz incarnations. AC (US 1939) i Janis: Little Girl Blue pm BBC4 j DOCUMENTARY Janis Joplin has proved to be an elusive subject for a biopic, despite numerous attempts to bring her story, and the reasons for her tragically early death, to the big screen. But it is hard to imagine a Hollywood spin on her life would be more affecting than this documentary, thanks to the blistering footage that director Amy J Berg has assembled of the singer in all her raw, untamed glory. Joplin was plagued by insecurity and a need for affirmation, and had a lengthy battle with addiction, despite her unique talents. One of the most poignant things about Berg s film is the way it traces the arc of Joplin s growth as an artist and gives a hint of the performer she could have become, as she learns to harness the innately feral talent that made her name. WI (US/UK 2015, swearing) i The Machine pm Movie Mix j SCI-FI This sleek and stylish thriller deals with artificial intelligence in a military context. Toby Stephens and Caity Lotz play computer boffins working for the Ministry of Defence, the former wanting to aid the disabled via cranial implants linked to hi-tech prosthetics, while the latter is trying to create a machine that can make decisions for itself. Predictably, their ideals are in conflict with their shady MoD bosses, who simply want to create a robotic super-soldier. Writer/director Caradog James touches on some intriguing questions, but the film s content never quite matches its tremendous style (with visuals that belie a modest budget). DA (UK 2013) i Night Train to Lisbon 10.30pm-12.15am BBC2 MYSTERY An ageing academic embarks on a journey of self-discovery in this oldfashioned European thriller. Jeremy Irons plays a lonely Swiss teacher who prevents a woman from committing suicide. He becomes captivated by a book she left behind and travels to Portugal in an attempt to track down the author. There are flashback segments that don t offer much tension or suspense, but the story is serviceable and Irons is an uncommonly engaging performer even when playing a character described as boring.

45 Films worth paying for... Unlocking the closet door i Carol 5 j From Monday Sky Store/Sky Box Office/Virgin (also DVD, Blu-ray, download) ROMANCE Patricia Highsmith s controversial, keynote lesbian novel, The Price of Salt, is brought lovingly to the screen by director Todd Haynes, in resplendent Far from Heaven fashion. Trapped in a marriage of convenience, uptown, worldly Carol (Cate Blanchett) begins an affair with naive, besotted shop girl Therese (Rooney Mara). But this is early 1950s Manhattan and when Carol s husband threatens her with scandal, the women embark on a road trip towards self-discovery and inalienable truths. No one is better at nuanced melodrama than Haynes, and with two high-calibre leading ladies exercising coiffed poise, era-sensitive intelligence and sophistication, this exquisite romance is both chic and chilly before it explodes in tear-jerking emotional transparency. A stunning masterpiece of atmospheric mood and poignant tenderness.

47 EDITED BY ALISON GRAHAM PPA COLUMNIST OF THE YEAR An age of high drama TV s on the hottest streak I ve seen, says David Butcher Do you have one of those friends who likes to buttonhole you at social occasions to rave about the amazing TV they re watching? I ve got several, but we ll amalgamate them into one let s call him Bob the Binge (because that s how he watches), a man who proclaims his love for his latest on-demand drama with evangelical zeal. It s almost as if Bob created the series himself, as if his life-changing appreciation for Narcos or Kabul Kitchen or Mr Robot or whatever is down to the fact that he gets it uniquely and specially. It is his. Bob will catch you in the pub, wanting to know if you ve seen whatever he s raving We d better hope these creative ires keep burning about. And if not, he insists you must catch it because You. Will. Love it. (Some people love telling you how much you ll love things, I ve no idea why.) But the interesting thing is how often Bob is floored if you ask him, So have you seen this week s Happy Valley? or What about The Night Manager, eh? His sails deflate and his attention wanders, because that stuff is, well, a bit obvious. It s available to everyone. There s no rarity value, no street cred. Bob didn t bother with War and Peace and will probably skip Line of Duty. The A Word which starts on Tuesday will barely register. Which is a shame, because these are the top-notch series the BBC currently turns out like loaves of bread from an oven. They re part of the hottest streak in mainstream drama I can remember, in two decades of writing about TV. Bob hasn t noticed, but we re in a mini golden age for big, classy dramas. So far 2016 has been thick with them, culminating in nine million people watching Call the Midwife and over six million sticking with The Night Manager and Happy Valley. And the latter wasn t some crowd-pleasing romp, remember, but tough, painful stuff that nobody could deny was to use the word currently deployed as a yardstick for the BBC distinctive. Plus, it wasn t about Colombian criminals or hackers or zombies, it was about an embattled policewoman in Yorkshire. This week s newcomer The A Word is also set in a recognisable contemporary Britain the Lake District. It s not as intense as Happy Valley (very little is) or as enjoyable as The Night Manager (ditto), but it does a sensitive job of showing how a rural family handles discovering that their five-year-old has autism. Not an easy subject, and I don t suppose The A Word will break any ratings records or tempt Bob away from his binges. But it s another hot, nourishing drama loaf rolling out of the BBC oven. We d better hope these creative fires keep burning and the present culture secretary doesn t, as it were, shut the bakery down for making loaves too many people like. If that happens, we ll look back on today s boom in quality drama in a few years time and wonder why on earth we took it for granted. BBC S BOND FOR A BAFTA Every year, Bafta gives a prize for best opening titles sequence. It s early days, but for next year s mask in that category The Night Manager must be a shoo-in. You know the sequence a bomber s rain of fire becomes a string of pearls, missiles become champagne bubbles, a chandelier explodes. They re gorgeous (like Bond titles, but without the naked women) and they reflect the story perfectly how seductive wealth and evil can be. See page 160 for more. If you like this kind of thing, BBC4 s new Scandi saga Follow the Money on Saturday has brilliant/disturbing titles too, as rooms mysteriously fill with water and characters in offices and homes are swamped by a rising tide. It s mesmerising and the drama that follows isn t bad either. LEADING MAN Tom Hiddleston smoulders in Sunday-night drama The Night Manager RadioTimes March

48 EDITED BY JACK SEALE 1NEW TO STREAM Hap and Leonard Amazon Prime James Purefoy puts on a Texan drawl to play Hap, a charming but browbeaten dreamer who ducks and dives with best pal Leonard (Michael Kenneth Williams) in the economically barren 1980s. Christina Hendricks, right, completes the trio as Hap s siren ex-wife. Easy chemistry between the leads enhances a laid-back, wisecracking Southern noir caper. New episodes on Fridays. SEE THE SERIES 2Stag iplayer (BBC2) Luxury entertainment. A cast of fine comic performers Rufus Jones, Pilou Asbaek, Tim Key, Stephen Campbell Moore (right) and Reece Shearsmith among them power a three-hour comedy thriller that makes full use of its Highlands setting. Not that all the above names are in it for long. Jim Howick is a humble geography teacher who finds himself first stuck on a stag do with a bunch of horrific snobs, and then in a fight for survival in remote woodland as someone starts picking them off one by one. It s funny, lavishly filmed and unguessably twisty to the end. TUNE IN... 3Radio Atlas radioatlas.org How can you listen to foreign radio documentaries? You watch them, by following the animated subtitles on this ingenious website. NEW SUPERHERO DRAMA 4Marvel s Daredevil Netflix After the success of genre-busting Jessica Jones, the somewhat less zeitgeisty Daredevil comes back with a lot to prove. Happily, season two (available from 18 March) is a solid return for the superhero adaptation, as blind lawyer/vigilante Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) takes on both the criminal-killing Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and the Yakuza in a series of brilliantly choreographed action sequences. WATCH FROM THE START 5Big Dreams Small Spaces iplayer (BBC2) A second run of the series in which Monty Don mentors ambitious gardeners, overseeing their unusual back-yard transformations with a mix of avuncular tenderness and schoolmasterly rigour. Among the projects taken on are a garden with an impossible slope, two neighbours who want to combine their land, and a plan to create a Japanese paradise. Ep1 available until 20 March BBC3 6 SHORTS Things I Can t Unsee bbc.co.uk/bbcthree All BBC3 s full-length shows are accessible via iplayer, but not all its content is: head to the channel s website to have a look at a variety of short-form videos. The pick of them is this fortnightly documentary strand, which adds minimal commentary to real people s experiences. Episodes deal with knife crime, the dangers of being a cabbie in Bradford and, in the latest edition that goes live on 24 March, what it s like to work as a firefighter. MUST-SEE DOCUMENTARY 7Behind Closed Doors iplayer (BBC2) A simply stunning look at the terrible realities of domestic violence, brought to you by the fantastic courage of three women who agree to be filmed throughout the process leading to trial. Aside from the deeply shocking details of what these women s partners did to them, hard questions are asked about whether our legal system currently offers victims, and the specialist police officers who try to help, sufficient support. 48 RadioTimes March 2016

49 THE BEST OF IPLAYER, NETFLIX AND BEYOND YOUR NEXT BINGE Europe, as seen from Orson s back garden TALKING POINT 8Sex in Strange Places iplayer (BBC3) Last week, two journalists here had their throats slit Stacey Dooley opens her latest overseas investigations with a stark warning about Gaziantep, an Isis-tainted Turkish city. She meets a woman who has escaped sexual slavery in Syria an extreme example, but Dooley finds worrying trends in how Turkey is treating sex workers and women generally. Further episodes explore the sex trade in Brazil and, from 22 March, Russia. 9The Mr Peabody & Sherman Show NEW ON NETFLIX FOR CHILDREN Netflix Netflix likes series based on underrated animated movies: as well as Dawn of the Croods there s this, spinning off the witty 2014 film about a time-travelling dog and his boy assistant itself a revisit of characters from 1960s cartoon The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. The new TV version (season two is up from 18 March) gives MP&S a chat show where they meet, and primary-school kids learn about, historical figures. Orson Welles was a fraud. The polymath had a lifelong fascination with deceit. He famously staged a hoax alien invasion and only agreed to appear in Casino Royale on the condition that his villain performed conjuring tricks. It s only right that the self-proclaimed charlatan would perfect that great medium of showmanship and lies: television. Around the World with Orson Welles is a curio. Produced in 1955, only six of the planned 26 episodes made it onto the fledgeling ITV. But it s leagues more watchable than anything else made at the time. The director of Citizen Kane was a Europhile, and the series follows his enthusiasms: bullfights, chocolate cakes and a return to The Third Man s Vienna. It s all couched in Welles s forbidding intelligence and wit, his eyes twinkling. He s the kid and the world is his toy store. As someone who measured out his life in anecdotes, Welles takes naturally to interviewing. He also instinctively knows how to make a lively documentary from disparate facts. His episode on the Dominici affair an infamous case of three Brits killed near a French farm has the air of modern crime shows like Making a Murderer. The stories Orson tells are true, but his methods are pure theatre. We re used to noddies on TV: a journalist nodding and smiling, recorded separately and dropped in to cover an edit. Welles takes this to the extreme. His half of the conversation is almost always recorded separately, sometimes on a specially built stage, sometimes in his back garden. It s cheeky, but it works. Welles would also chop up what people said, jumping up and down the transcript to make it flow. Around the World is not only a fun trip around a forgotten Europe, but proof that when a fraud is skilful enough, it becomes magic. JONATHAN HOLMES Buy it on DVD for incl p&p: radiotimes.com/dvdshop or , quoting RT1374 CATCH UP, QUICK 10 The Night Manager iplayer (BBC1) Give this sumptuous John le Carré dramatisation a little time: you need to wait for Tom Hiddleston s rookie spy to become embroiled in his lethal dance with Hugh Laurie s deftly underplayed arms dealer. When the grand game of trust and bluff properly begins, it s mesmerising. Ep1 available until 22 March DOCTOR DIGITAL Can e-readers beat books? The book is the perfect gadget. It s handheld, easy to use, will survive being thrown around in a bag (or even dropped into the bath), never needs charging and has no updates to download. Almost a quarter of the UK population is expected to use an e-reader this year, but it suffers from the same issues as other gizmos. If your Kindle was made in 2012 or before, make sure you connect to wi-fi and update its software before 22 March, or you will find you won t be able to download books any more. If you miss that date, it s more of a fiddle but don t worry: just plug your Kindle into your laptop with a USB cable and it should sort it out. Meanwhile, US bookstore chain Barnes & Noble has shuttered its Nook store in the UK and removed its dinky machine from the market. Nook says it s working with Sainsbury s to ensure you will still be able to access your old purchases, but not make new ones. Don t ditch your e-reader just yet: they have their own advantages. Consider Kindle Unlimited, the Amazon service that, for 7.99 per month, gives you access to over a million books and audiobooks. You couldn t haul all that down to the beach although you might say libraries already offer something similar for 0. Perhaps books are the best gadgets after all.

50 LEADING WITH PASSION Six Nations captains Sam Warburton, Greig Laidlaw, Rory Best, Dylan Hartley, Guilhem Guirado and Sergio Parisse PICK OF THE DAY Six Nations Rugby From 2.00pm BBC1, 4.30pm ITV SPORT Three matches, two broadcasters, one pounding day of international rugby. Last year s final day was senseless in the best possible way, four crazy hours of harum-scarum play and heart-pumping tension. This tournament could do with a day like that to help us forget the ponderous first weeks. Wales v Italy (kick-off 2.30pm BBC1). Wales just missed out on the title last season thanks to a points difference, so they know the value of going all out against Italy. Ireland v Scotland (k/o 5pm ITV). This match could define how both sides move on after a disappointing campaign. France v England (k/o 8pm BBC1). Finally France, devoid of direction for most of the season, face an England side that are clearly going places under Eddie Jones. Chris Robshaw may no longer be captain, but he s been throwing himself into breakdowns with just the same determination, a sign that Jones isn t quite as prickly behind the scenes as his combative press conferences might have you believe. JAMES GILL Athletics: World Indoor Championships 11.30am, 4.15pm, 6pm, 12 midnight Euro 1, 1pm BBC1, 6pm BBC red button, 12 midnight BBC2 SPORT Short on Team GB stars but with plenty of Olympic promise, the World Indoor Championships in Oregon are a useful staging post for British hopefuls on the road to Rio. Saturday afternoon features the highlights from day two, with Morgan Lake the one to look out for in the pentathlon. Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson may be the established multi-eventers, but Lake is catching them fast. In the wee hours of Sunday comes the women s 60m final, as Dina Asher-Smith bids to close the gap on Dafne Schippers. Highlights are tomorrow at 3pm on BBC2. JG Pointless Celebrities 6.30pm BBC1 ENTERTAINMENT Stupidly entertaining as ever tonight, but boy, the first board of clues is a daft one. Richard Osman seems almost embarrassed by the herbivores that need identifying (an animal with a long trunk whose name begins with E?). Basically six blindingly obvious answers and an impossible one. Among the celebs wrestling with these posers are comedian and fantasy dancer Bob Mortimer, Graeme Garden and Ian Lavender (Pike) from Dad s Army. Along the way we learn about obscure musicals and the Latin name for the gorilla gorilla gorilla. DAVID BUTCHER Puzzles SEE P153 Ant & Dec s Saturday Night Takeaway 7.10pm ITV ENTERTAINMENT You can see why Ant and Dec have been hailed as a contemporary Morecambe and Wise. Like Eric and Ernie s, their shows are effortlessly slick and entertaining, have celebrities queuing up to be made fun of, while Ant and Dec themselves seem to be having a ball. The spoof detective serial Who Shot Simon Cowell? is as good as anything the Two Ronnies did in their heyday, while their pranks are on a par with Jeremy Beadle s. Tonight Abbey Clancey and Peter Crouch happily make fools of themselves in I m a Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear! while Hugh Jackman is the guest announcer. JR Coastal Walks with My Dog 8.00pm More4 DOCUMENTARY This two-parter is at the gentler end of More4 s special Rambling season, and it does exactly what it says on the tin: lovely celebs, lovely dogs and bloomin lovely coastlines. Today s ramblers are Bill Bailey, Cerys Matthews and Debra Stephenson, who respectively explore Devon, Pembrokeshire and the Jurassic Coast. It s all rather sedate and agreeable, and will expand your knowledge of our petulant, defiant, untameable (etc) coastlines our walkers often bump into local experts who spin a tale or two about the history of Britain s shores.

51 SATURDAY 19 MARCH CAN THE POLAR BEAR SURVIVE? Evolution of the Polar Bear (7pm Discovery) explores the impact of climate change on the bear s habitats and how it is adapting. Mother polar bears now go without food for eight months a longer fasting period than any other mammal. Dad s Army 8.30pm BBC2 SITCOM A schism in the platoon makes for a slightly uncomfortable watch in this 1972 story. Well, as uncomfortable as this bear hug of a sitcom gets. But the heightened drama introduced when Mainwaring temporarily allows Frazer to improve on his captaincy is what gives the story real teeth. Mainwaring initially regrets giving free rein to the grumbling Scot (irrepressible John Laurie), especially when he promotes Pike and Walker over Jones and Wilson. But the twist in the tale, however unlikely, is to die for. Sergeant Wilson s monocle-wearing theatrics and the least educational lecture you ll ever hear add to the fun. MARK BRAXTON The average number of cubs has dropped from three to two. Polar and grizzly bears now share territories, as they did 120,000 years ago. They re starting to interbreed to produce the hybrid pizzly bear which may be the future for the animals. Michael Jackson s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall 9.00pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY Spike Lee s film tracing Jackson s transition from child star to superstar boasts a who s who of the American music business, interviews with his family and a wealth of archive clips, including some from Jackson s own collection. It focuses on his music rather than on the scandal that shrouded his later years. Perhaps most telling is a handwritten note detailing how a young Jackson intended to perfect his art by watching the greats (he once asked Sammy Davis Jr how he did a particular dance move). I will be magic, says Jackson. And he was his music was a soundtrack to most of our lives. JR The Jonathan Ross Show 9.40pm ITV ENTERTAINMENT For one brief moment I thought Hugh Jackman was playing British do-or-die underdog hero Eddie the Eagle Edwards in the new biopic of the ski jumper who had his moment in the sun at the Calgary Winter Olympics. But no, he plays his [fictional] coach, Bronson Peary. Genial Jackman will be in the studio to talk about the film, along with his co-star Taron Egerton, who plays Edwards. Also on the show are comedian Shazia Mirza and rockers Primal Scream, who ll be performing. ALISON GRAHAM TV EDITOR Bill Hicks: Sane Man 11.00pm Gold COMEDY This is Bill Hicks at his finest, before he became caustically angry. Hicks, who died in 1994 aged 32, is in towering form in this 1989 film of his Sane Man stand-up tour. Hicks launches a tirade at anti-intellectualism with, for me, one of his funniest gags, about a waitress in a waffle house demanding What you reading for? when she sees him with a book. Not what am I reading, but what am I reading for? he marvels. Fans will know the unprintable punchline and will remember the aggressive trucker who confronts Hicks with: Well, looks like we got ourselves a reader. AG DISCOVER TV PICK Today s best of BBC3, iplayer, Netflix and beyond Professor Green: Suicide and Me iplayer A landmark documentary, first shown on BBC3 last year and expiring, for now, on iplayer today. Professor Green lost his father to suicide, the biggest killer of UK men under 45. With admirable courage, the rapper opens up a taboo subject by asking why his dad died. CHILDREN S CHOICE Art Ninja 9.00am CBBC Ricky is inspired to create some musically themed art, such as a paper-cup boom box. Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn 8.00am Nickelodeon (Sky 604, Virgin 712) Three of the quads set out to prove their brother Ricky s belief in superstition is wrong. Saturday Television ENERGY CRISIS Is Alexander Sodergren, the boss of Energreen, implicated in dirty deals? Follow the Money 9.00pm, 10.00pm BBC4 DRAMA New series A thriller set against the backdrop of Denmark s largest offshore wind farm? Where people talk a lot about turbines and subsidies. Mmm, sexy! Actually the latest subtitled drama from DR, the groovy Danish television network that brought us The Killing and Borgen, has the makings of a snappy story. We start with a dead body, fished from the chilly waters near said offshore wind farm. The dead man worked there and the slightly bonkers, definitely maverick detective who investigates the death, Mads (Thomas Bo Larsen), thinks that Something Is Up. The wind farm is run by a totem of green energy, Energreen, whose youngish, charismatic boss has the ear of government high-ups. But there s a bad stench of insider trading and the detective uncovers evidence that its immigrant Ukrainian workforce is being exploited.

The tale of revenge that follows is relatively simplistic, but the villains (including ex-footballer Eric Cantona) are a hateful bunch, while Mikkelsen is magnetic as the steely former soldier. STEPHEN CARTY Pegg and Frost on the road Paul pm Film4 FREEVIEW In preparation for Paul, their first co-scripting venture, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost headed out on their own crosscountry road trip from Los Angeles to Denver. It would have made a blackly comic film in its own right, as the pair faced extreme weather (their RV s battery froze), scary locals and birds crashing into their windscreen. We had a real adventure, said Pegg. We never could have written the movie without it.

Hamilton won at the Albert Park street circuit in Melbourne last year at the head of a Mercedes one-two. Mercedes have tested well in pre-season and will be the ones to beat, with Ferrari quite possibly the team to put up a fight.

60 SUNDAY Choices The pick of today s TV Television Sunday DUPLICITY Crooked Roper puts his faith in Jonathan Pine PICK OF THE DAY The Night Manager 9.00pm BBC1 DRAMA There s a traitor in monstrous, suave Richard Roper s midst, but he doesn t seem surprised: Anyone can betray anyone, Jonathan, he tells his new aide-de-camp, Jonathan Pine. Crikey, but Roper (magnificent Hugh Laurie) is terrifying; his flinty eyes seem to burrow into people s souls. Perhaps he s looking for a heart of darkness to match his own. But we know he s seeking the fifth columnist who s stolen his arms-dealing secrets, and we fear for Pine (Tom Hiddleston) and the lovely, swan-like Jed (Elizabeth Debicki). In an unbearably tense penultimate episode, the little group assembles in the desert, near the Syrian border, for a monumental firework display. There s nothing benign about this party, though; Roper, so confident, so at ease, demonstrates his power: We are the emperors of Rome blood and steel, the only elements that ever meant anything. By the end of the hour, your nerves will be in shreds. ALISON GRAHAM See page 47 Formula One: Australian Grand Prix 4.30am (race starts 5am) SS1, SSF1; 1.30pm (highlights) C4 SPORT The start of a new F1 season and not a lot has changed on the track. Mercedes is still the team to beat, Lewis Hamilton s fashion sense is as eye-catching as his driving skill, and regulation tinkering threatens to overshadow raw racing thrills. On TV there s plenty new: the BBC has driven away and Channel 4 has parked in their space, with racing novice Steve Jones joining an enviable line-up of talent old and new. BBC regular David Coulthard is here, as well as engaging newcomer Susie Wolff, who last year became the first woman driver to feature in an F1 race weekend for 20 years. JAMES GILL Sport: page 35 The Sport Relief Games Show 1.15pm BBC1 CHARITY Matt Baker, Alex Jones and John Inverdale report live from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, just one of the venues for the Sport Relief Games. That s the part where the British public put on their trainers, or swimsuit, to raise money for good causes. Cameras have also been in Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow, Norwich and Sheffield to capture the atmosphere: hosting sponsored runs, cycles and swims all at once gives each city s Games the feeling of a real sporting event. Some of the competitors share their experiences here, alongside a plethora of sporting celebrity guests. JACK SEALE Heston s Dinner in Space 6.00pm C4 FOOD Exciting, scary, amazing Heston Blumenthal has cooked up a few elaborate meals in his time, but this challenge nearly did for him. Over two years we follow the process as he tries to re-invent space food and create the most luxurious dishes ever sent into orbit for Tim Peake to enjoy on the International Space Station. Micro-gravity means a long list of challenges no refrigeration, no flames, no boiling, no loose liquids, no crumbs and whatever Heston creates must be cooked at 120 degrees for two hours to kill bacteria, then stored for 18 months. The question is, can he still create something that will remind Tim of home? DAVID BUTCHER See feature: page 26 The Voice UK 7.45pm BBC1 ENTERTAINMENT The second of the knockout rounds has popped up here, after being kicked into touch by coverage of yesterday s Six Nations rugby matches. The coaches are still struggling to whittle down their teams to a manageable three each, so never has song choice been so important (the contestants get to pick whichever song they think will impress their mentors). To go out at this point, with the live shows so close, must be desperately disappointing. It s hard enough remembering who did make the live shows last year, let alone who went out just beforehand. Expect terminal indecision from the four people sitting on the big red chairs. JANE RACKHAM 60 RadioTimes March 2016

61 SUNDAY 20 MARCH GORDON BUCHANAN S BACK STORY The presenter of Tribes, Predators and Me (8pm BBC2) started as a wildlife cameraman... In Lost Land of the Tiger (2010), his night cameras captured tigers living above 3000m in Bhutan a discovery that brought Buchanan to tears. The Story of Cats 8.00pm ITV mnature Animal-telly addicts, say hello to an old friend. Remember Dexter, the lovely Costa Rican howler-monkey handler from Nature s Miracle Orphans? He s back! He does ocelots as well. That section of this diverting series final episode looks at how cats use pheromones to announce themselves. Elsewhere, the programme demonstrates that the natural world is full of felines that are similar to and yet unnervingly different from domesticated moggies: the Canada lynx, with its snow-shoe paws and insulating fur; the short, sneaky Pallas cat; and the rusty-spotted cat, whose appetite for easily caught insects presumably leaves more time for scratching and sleep. JS In The Bear Family and Me (2011) he befriended adorable abandoned black bear cub Hope. For The Polar Bear Family and Me (2013) he entered a glass box to get up close and personal with bears in Svalbard and kept filming as one launched her attack. Great Canal Journeys 8.00pm C4 DOCUMENTARY Slow your pulse and adjust your speedometer for another mellow passage through the countryside with Timothy West and Prunella Scales. For a new three-parter they ve ventured further afield, to Sweden, where they re crossing the country from west to east via various lovely inland waterways, including the massive Gota Canal. What makes these programmes special is the incredibly touching interplay of a couple in their 53rd year of marriage. DB Tribes, Predators and Me 9.00pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY OF THE WEEK New series Gordon Buchanan does a Bruce Parry and his first trip, to visit the Waorani tribe in Amazonian eastern Ecuador, is every bit as compelling as Parry s best work. His hosts are sometimes known as the Anaconda People, on account of the coming-of-age challenge/spiritual rite where they wrestle huge, potentially lethal snakes. Before experiencing that, Buchanan tries to keep up as the spear-wielding Waorani charge through the forest, thrillingly, on the hunt for wild pigs. The naturalist finds great beauty in the tribe s simple, respectful, sometimes brutal relationship with the rainforest and its wildlife. And that s before he meets the anaconda... JS Indian Summers 9.00pm C4 DRAMA Aha, a visitor from London! Dufferish Lord Hawthorne (James Fleet) is out from the India Office and the Viceroy chooses this moment to deliver bad news to Ralph: he s no longer in line for the top job. This is not something for Simla s resident Lady Macbeth to take lying down: We haven t worked all these years to give up now, growls scheming Cynthia. That s the high-level colonial intrigue what about the low-level scandals? Well, Ralph s brother-in-law Charlie is starting to rival Rob from The Archers in the controlling-husband stakes. So amid the croquet and gorgeous gardens, there s plenty of misery to go round. DB Julie Walters: page 162 DISCOVER TV PICK Today s best of BBC3, iplayer, Netflix and beyond Thirteen from 12 noon iplayer (BBC3) The penultimate instalment of the slow-burn drama again hinges on what escaped kidnap victim Ivy really knows. Whatever it is, the cops are bad at finding out, so they turn to her mother, Christina (Natasha Little). It s not the only difficult, revealing chat Christina has to face. CHILDREN S CHOICE Blue Peter 9.30am CBBC In a Wave Runner special, we follow Lindsey Russell s journey across the Irish Sea, as she attempts to run the whole way in a three-metre inflatable ball for Sport Relief. Spot Bots 10.45am CBeebies Cubi is in a tickling mood in a colourful edition. Sunday Television BEST LIVE SPORT CLASS ACT Mary Thorne (Stefanie Martini) and Doctor Thorne (Tom Hollander) Doctor Thorne 9.00pm ITV DRAMA When it comes to this sort of country-house drama, Julian Fellowes is a master baker. His tale of Victorian class niceties is one moment a sort of layer-cake of stickysweet romance, the next a whole croquembouche of snobbery and bitchiness. At the confection s heart is Rebecca Front as calculating Lady Gresham, who tonight endures the exquisite social torture of having boorish Sir Louis Scatcherd to dinner at Greshamsbury. Deprived of the ability to put the drunken young bounder in his place (because he basically owns her house), she falls back on some very vinegary expressions indeed. Elsewhere, the course of true love between Mary and Frank is finding a few (carefully positioned) obstacles in its way.

70 THE FERRY REVEREND Island-hopping minister David Cooper tends a far-flung flock A TALE OF TWO PARISHES Television Monday Unst in the Shetlands is over 8,000 miles north of the Falklands, the location of the last Island Parish. How does life compare? UNST At last count, there were around 700 people and 7,500 sheep living on the island. The chief export is agriculture tatties, mainly and there are about 25 ferries coming and going between nearby Shetland Islands every day. It s home to the UK s most northerly festival: UnstFest. FALKLAND ISLANDS flights a week from the UK, one from South America, and cruise ships make regular visits in the summer. No word on its festival scene but it s home to five species of penguin. PICK OF THE DAY An Island Parish: Shetland 8.30pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY New series This time we re on Unst, the most northerly of the Shetland Islands, where minister David Cooper looks after some 700 inhabitants including Frank Roberts, a part-time salmon-farm worker and passionate horse whisperer who breeds Shetland ponies. While Frank s busy talking to his ponies, the rest of the island is excitedly preparing for the annual Unst festival. There s a parade of wonderful home-made floats with a parliament of puffins (or at least children dressed up as the local sea birds), an army of Vikings, Scottish marauders and an homage to the most famous bus stop in Shetland. However, central to the celebration is what David describes as a Lord s Test match at sea. Yep, it s a stone-skimming competition. While some of the competitors manage 10 or 12 bounces, David s efforts fall a little short. Goliath has nothing to worry about, he says with a smile. JANE RACKHAM Think Tank 2.15pm BBC1 DAYTIME CHOICE New series A slightly later start for former Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull as he hosts this afternoon quiz show. The idea is for the three contestants to tap into the knowledge of the eight regulars in the Think Tank who have been asked all the general knowledge questions before the show. But the contestants need to be careful whose advice they take because these guys aren t exactly on a par with the Eggheads one of them thinks Diane Abbott might be a beard-sporting politician. As you d expect, Turnbull is a charming host, while there s a great deal of good-natured teasing and laughter between the Think Tank members. JR Further Tales from Northumberland with Robson Green 8.00pm ITV DOCUMENTARY This week: animals increasing in size. After a saunter across the Union Bridge, Robson turns back from the Scottish frontier to visit a honey farm, braving the bees before having a go at scraping the wax off the honey, and tasting some end product straight from the centrifuge. Then he s stripping a border terrier in time for a dog show, before watching a local thoroughbred compete at Hexham Racecourse. After the cuteness, the gorgeous scenery: to the Kielder Forest, where Robson tries to keep up with an expert mountain biker and ends up in the undergrowth. JACK SEALE The Food Chain 8.30pm C4 FOOD New series You should never pick apples in the rain, apparently. Because the fruits are slippery, you have to grip them harder, and that means bruising. So says orchard owner Peter, and he should know. His Kent Bramley farm is one of the starting points of this fact-tastic series, which follows the journeys of some of our favourite foods as they re produced, processed and turned into haute cuisine. As well as the Bramleys (which we follow to a chocolatier, a B&B and the Ritz), we learn about Maldon sea salt and the chefs who use it, including the world s only crisp sandwich shop, in Keighley, West Yorkshire. DAVID BUTCHER The People v OJ Simpson 9.00pm BBC2 DRAMA There s a clever, sly use of music in this accomplished drama. I particularly liked Portishead s doomy Sour Times on the soundtrack ( Nobody loves me, it s true ) as the man who would be reviled, LA police officer Mark Fuhrman, takes the witness stand in the OJ Simpson trial. But the episode is centred on prosecutor Marcia Clark (Sarah Paulson), withering under brutal public scrutiny her hair, her clothes ( Frump incarnate! ) all chewed over by TV style experts. Who can blame Marcia for feeling it s all too much, and enjoying a little late-night office smooching to the Isley Brothers Who s That Lady with her co-counsel, Chris Darden? ALISON GRAHAM 70 RadioTimes March 2016

71 MONDAY 21 MARCH THE WEEK IN SOAPLAND EMMERDALE It was pretty obvious that we hadn t seen the last of widower Pierce and sure enough he s back and punching Paddy when he realises the village vet was having it away with his wife. Holly (inset) is also returning, but as with all good reappearances, she has more baggage than she s letting on. And, over at the graveyard, everyone is taken aback by the size of Val s headstone. Like the woman it s commemorating, it s larger than life. Davina McCall: Life at the Extreme 9.00pm ITV DOCUMENTARY This time Davina is in the hot, sweaty, jungle hell of Costa Rica, a country that s drenched by 18 feet of rainfall a year. There s no shortage of wildlife, either. She s charmed by orphaned sloths, delighted by colourful poison dart frogs and entertained by Jesus Christ lizards, so called for their ability to walk on water. She gets a little freaked out while walking through the rainforest in the dark, but that s nothing in comparison to her fear when she spends a stormy night in a tent suspended high up in the forest canopy. The only creatures she doesn t spot in this jungle are Ant and Dec. JR DESPERATE MEASURES JP (Jack Whitehall) and his fellow finalists are nearing the end RadioTimes March 2016 CORONATION STREET Sarah endures a traumatic birth after her waters break in the flower shop. When the consultant advises a caesarean, Sarah refuses. But will she do what s best for her child? And Sally moans to Tim that because she s a councillor, she should project the right image. Apparently, a creosoted fence is a good place to start. The Tube: Going Underground 9.00pm Channel 5 DOCUMENTARY New series You don t have to be a London commuter to be interested in this series, but it will help. The rest of the UK may not gain much from a series on the workings of our capital s underground, other than to marvel that it keeps running at all. With a growing population and ageing technology (Piccadilly line trains date from 1973, we re told), the Tube risks being at breaking point every day. And when it is, the cameras are there to capture riled passengers (the villains of the piece) and long-suffering staff (the heroes). The biggest shock is the plan hatched by Tony at Holborn station to have commuters stand on both sides of the escalator. Sacrilege! DB EASTENDERS Billy s never been the smartest of the Mitchells, but to leave his kids in the care of Phil! Really Billy? Of course, Phil loses Janet, leaving Billy frantic. Mick, meanwhile, tells Nancy that he can never forgive her for what happened with Ollie. And when Stacey returns to the Square, she finds herself bumping into Kyle. But will she let him open up about his past? DAVID BROWN Art of Scandinavia 9.00pm BBC4 ART Hans Christian Andersen s fable about the ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan reflects not only his rags-to-riches experiences but also the lives of many of Denmark s artists. Andrew Graham-Dixon s in Denmark, officially the happiest nation on earth yet one possessing dark undertones about its identity. Here he discovers the paper-cut art of Andersen, the classical sculpture of Thorvaldsen, the graphic nudes of Eckersberg, the blatantly jingoistic portrait of Mother Denmark and Hammershoi s brooding, introverted paintings. Denmark is a mix of light and dark bright ideals, harsh disappointment, he concludes. But then there s also the optimistically bright, miniature world of Legoland. JR Fresh Meat 10.00pm C4 COMEDY OF THE WEEK From an outrageous opening sequence impossible to describe in a family magazine, but filthily funny, I m glad to say to a set piece where the housemates get stranded in the cellar, this is vintage Fresh Meat. With a day to go before the start of their finals, our menagerie of undergraduate angst is in full-on freak-out mode. Vod is eating Nutella off a knife. JP has written the word igneous thousands of times on Post-it notes. Kingsley s Italian, sorry Swiss girlfriend has split up with him at the worst moment. It s time for desperate measures, which in JP s case means hiring a narrowboat on which to smoke a pipe and argue hilariously with Howard ( This mooring is untenable! ). But it s the scene in the cellar with the whole gang in meltdown and secrets spilling out that really turns the comedy screw. Next week: it s all over. DB DISCOVER TV PICK Today s best of BBC3, iplayer, Netflix and beyond Cuckoo from 6pm iplayer (BBC3) All sitcoms eventually arrive at a long-lost parent episode, and this is a decent one. Susie Blake plays Greg Davies s estranged mother, back from Spain with her tarot cards to ruin baby Sid s naming ceremony. It builds slowly to a great set-piece finish that s painful in more ways than one. CHILDREN S CHOICE Sofia the First 5.00pm Disney Jr (Sky 611, Virgin 727) Sofia s Aunt Tilly gives her a present that unlocks a secret world. Featuring Merida from Brave and Hugh Bonneville.

80 Television Tuesday TUESDAY Choices The pick of today s TV CLOSE KNIT Family life changes for dad Paul (Lee Ingleby), mum Alison (Morven Christie) daughter Rebecca (Molly Wright) and son Joe (Max Vento) PICK OF THE DAY The A Word 9.00pm BBC1 DRAMA New series Five-year-old Joe is a smart, musical kid. He spends his time with headphones on listening to alt-rock classics and knowing every line of the lyrics. He can be a bit quiet and uncooperative but nothing that overly troubles his parents or at least, nothing they ll admit to As we meet Joe and his clan in Peter Bowker s well-worked drama (adapted from an Israeli series), it is the day of Joe s birthday. Around him a wider family battle simmers nicely as Joe s interfering grandfather (Christopher Eccleston) and humiliated uncle strike sparks off each other. That domestic cut-and-thrust might be enough in itself, but we know the real driver of the story will be Joe s condition. It s only the slightest of spoilers to reveal that, as the title hints, Joe has autism. His grandfather s attitude is old school: If there s a problem with my grandson, we need to get it fixed. It won t be that simple. DAVID BUTCHER See feature: page 20; David Butcher s column: page 47 The Inspectors Are Coming 7.30pm ITV DOCUMENTARY We all enjoy a small workplace victory, don t we? So it warms the heart to see Dumfries council enforcement officer Adam lift a trophy aloft: it s dog faeces, it s fresh, and the owner of the guilty animal has just been fined 40. Back of the net! says Adam. Admittedly his colleague Lorraine looks like she regrets the day she said, Yes, I would like to be filmed at work for an ITV documentary, but not everyone can win all the time. Meanwhile in east London, mysteries abound. Who s leaving trash in the street? And what do people do in their cars, in car parks, late at... oh. That. JACK SEALE Mary Berry s Easter Feast 8.00pm BBC2 FOOD While envy is perhaps not an appropriate emotion to have about a religious celebration, I still wish Mary Berry had invited me to join her around a table groaning with Easter food from around the world. It s an extraordinary spread that includes the dishes made in last week s programme as well tonight s. Among the new dishes is Lechon (Filipino roasted pork) and a cardamom dove cake, as well as unusual twists on more familiar Easter treats. Letting Mary out of the kitchen to talk about faith has been illuminating and given us a bit of an insight into what makes her tick, too. JANE RACKHAM Inside Obama s White House 9.00pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY A second hour of comprehensive, profoundly depressing insights into how American politics works, this time tackling the major domestic issues of the Barack Obama presidency: healthcare. His advisers relate how they all, to a woman, counselled their boss to put his number-one priority on the back burner in the weeks after taking office. Obama overruled them, and set about what to most British viewers will seem like bare-minimum reforms, but which caused pandemonium in the Senate. The process of the bill eventually passing is explained here in, for all but the most clued-up US politics junkies, impenetrable detail. JS One Born Every Minute 9.00pm C4 DOCUMENTARY Another series begins, and once again we re reminded why birth, though happening around the world every second of the day, remains such a remarkable event to witness. For Jo, 36, her pregnancy has been a small miracle. She began early menopause when she was 34, so her parents were baffled by her news although it did provide material for a classic dad joke: Are we going to have to call you Mary? Mum-to-be Kirsty was herself a special baby; she was one of the first triplets born at Liverpool s Women s Hospital 20 years ago. And Claire and James welcome baby number five who, says James, will complete their family. HANNAH SHADDOCK 80 RadioTimes March 2016

81 TUESDAY 22 MARCH TV CV: MICHAELA COEL Michaela Coel, 27, is alien Lilyhot in The Aliens (9pm E4). Coel, from Tower Hamlets in east London, is a poet, actress, singer and writer known for writing acclaimed E4 comedy Chewing Gum, in which she stars as sex-mad Tracey Gordon. Ross Kemp s Britain 9.00pm Sky1 DOCUMENTARY New series Ross Kemp has been to some of the most dangerous places in the world: the front lines of Afghanistan, the drug-ridden slums of Rio and skinhead training grounds. Now he s taking on his toughest assignment: Britain. A large part of Kemp s success as a reporter has been his sheer ballsiness. Another, smaller part, has been that in working overseas, Kemp has for the most part outrun his acting background in EastEnders. However, it is this more personal connection The show was adapted from her successful one-woman stage play Chewing Gum Dreams, and will return later this year. The actress has also appeared in dramas Top Boy, Law & Order: UK and in last year s MI6 thriller London Spy. that could help his investigations in this series: immigration, both legal and illegal, has changed the make-up of the UK, particularly London. Tracking the effects will take a man who knows these streets. JONATHAN HOLMES See feature: page 30 Scrappers: Back in the Yard 10.00pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY Terry Walker has run his scrap business for 30 years so he reckons he needs an MBE, not some bloody management consultant. But wife Lyndsay says that in that time The Beginning and End of the Universe 9.00pm BBC4 SCIENCE Until now, Jim Al-Khalili s niche has largely been the very small; the freaky properties of the quantum realm. But here, watchable as ever, he s treading a path that s become well worn on BBC4 over the past decade the story of the Big Bang. This first in a two-parter deals with Edwin Hubble s realisation that the universe is expanding, and the discovery of the residual radiation that gave weight to the Big Bang theory. Inevitably, we end up at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, with physicists creating matter with a density equivalent to squeezing Mont Blanc down to the size of a grape. If this is all news to you it ll blow your mind. If you re a Horizon regular, you might be immune to the barrage of cosmic stats. GARY ROSE BIG QUESTION Jim Al-Khalili investigates the Big Bang he s barely changed his management style and rarely sees the positive. So he tries his best to praise his staff. I m shocked I m wondering what sort of pills he s on, says one worker. But just as things start running smoothly, the local competition decides to play a practical joke on Metro Salvage involving fire extinguishers. What he hears about his mate Chris is no joke, though. JR First Dates 10.00pm C4 ENTERTAINMENT I knew I was into Wagner before I was into boys, 26-year-old James tells his date, thrilled to discover that 22-year-old Mark is just as obsessed with opera as he is. It s an episode full of warmth and emotion, not least when 58-yearold Terry reveals his biggest regret in life, and 49-year-old Lisa says that it s only when her husband died that she realised he was her soul mate. The relationship that develops between the duo is heart-warming, if not exactly what they had in mind. KASIA DELGADO The Battle for Christianity 10.45pm BBC1 DOCUMENTARY Christianity, we are led to believe, is in crisis, with believers being persecuted and killed across the world and church numbers declining in the UK. But in his analysis, professor Robert Beckford examines how immigration is boosting faith in Britain, filling pews but also worsening divisions across all denominations. There is little here that anyone with an active interest in the subject won t know already, but it s hard not to warm to the way Beckford ends with the kind of optimistic note you d want (and expect) from a believer. BEN DOWELL Million Pound Jewellers 11.05pm C4 DOCUMENTARY Bobby White makes bespoke pieces of jewellery that have garlanded Beyoncé, Rod Stewart and Tinie Tempah. But the celebrity clients are falling away so Bobby, who can barely read or write, brings in his brother Tommy to boost business. It s not much of a premise for a documentary, and you ll soon tire of the Essex-geezer brothers faux squabbles. But undoubtedly Bobby is a remarkable craftsman with an intuitive talent for design. On a trip to the West Country to visit a freshwater pearls business, he learns about perspective at Stonehenge: Maybe it s bigger when you get near it, he says, from afar. ALISON GRAHAM DISCOVER TV PICK Today s best of BBC3, iplayer, Netflix and beyond Jane the Virgin Netflix Shades of Ugly Betty in this comedy drama, which hits Netflix today: it s based on a telenovela and to some extent spoofs the form. But what happens after the titular Jane is artifically inseminated by mistake is fresh, smart and funny, with Gina Rodriguez terrific in the lead role.

Wild 111 Now TV, Sky Movies On Demand If you want to celebrate Reese Witherspoon s 40th birthday by watching a 5ft 1 1 /2in woman pulling on a huge backpack, Sky provides the opportunity with Wild available on demand. Reese plays against type as the distinctly unperky Cheryl Strayed, a woman walking the Pacific Crest Trail in an attempt to heal her spirit. It s a typically all-in performance from the actress, and one that earned her an Oscar nomination. STEVE MORRISSEY See it on catch up Shifty 1111 BBC iplayer FREE TO VIEW This is a welcome antidote to a long line of British urban dramas that veer dangerously close to celebrating the youth culture of drugs and violence they portray. Riz Ahmed plays a bright, warm young man who has strayed into a life of crime rather than choosing it. But it s his friendship with Daniel Mays, who returns to the pair s suburban stomping ground after four years away, that gives the story its poignancy. STELLA PAPAMICHAEL New to Netlix today Krampus 111 Netflix A very different sort of Santa Claus is coming to town in this darkly comic horror.

90 PERFECTLY SEASONED Gregg Wallace and John Torode return for a new series Television Wednesday PICK OF THE DAY MasterChef 8.00pm BBC1 FOOD There are some interesting ideas here, muses John Torode after he s contemplated the culinary innovation of Indian sushi (yes really). And a couple that properly scare me. That comment sums up the amateur version of MasterChef perfectly. So many gifted home cooks try too hard for fear of being damned for playing it safe and producing something (whisper it) ordinary. Of course, the trick is to please both Torode and Gregg Wallace, who announces with relish that he s lost weight and is ready to get fat again. There are many differences of opinion in this first round: Torode grimaces in disgust when he tastes fish that Wallace thinks is delicious, while Wallace does his pudding jig over one dessert that Torode finds too sweet. The cooking doesn t get tougher than this catchphrase has been binned but you can still play MasterChef bingo. Perfectly seasoned, deep, rich sauce, smooth, buttery mash all the usual comments are there. JANE RACKHAM FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN RADIO TIMES SENT ITS OWN CONTESTANT Writer Michael Hodges cooks for the discerning duo SEE PAGE 16 Horizon 8.00pm BBC2 SCIENCE At one point in this Horizon, one of the eminent contributors bursts out laughing when he hears what another eminent contributor has told the programme about gravity. That s hilarious, he chuckles. But when the subject is the quest for gravity control, it s a bit like perpetual motion: one man s seductive possibility is another man s tosh. That makes for a lively film full of fun sci-fi concepts like warp drives and anti-gravity planes. We visit the wonderfully named Antimatter Factory at Cern and meet the man whose EmDrive microwave thruster might, if it ever worked, require a slight rewrite of some laws of physics. DAVID BUTCHER The Supervet 8.00pm C4 DOCUMENTARY Noel Fitzpatrick is a brilliant orthopaedic-neuro veterinary surgeon but he knows he has no patience and is difficult. Would I like to work for me? Hell no! he says. However, in the operating theatre he has no equal. Three-legged cat Jersey needs a hip replacement but this procedure has never been done on a cat until now. He also has two heavyweight challenges: Mr Mac, a Great Dane with nerve damage and Dogue de Bordeaux Reggie, who has severe dysplasia in both elbows. Handling a big dog is tricky: It s like wrestling with a bear, says one of the auxiliary staff. But persuading a cat to undergo hydrotherapy isn t easy, either. JR Employable Me 9.00pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY New series Documentaries about debilitating neurological conditions often stop at the difficulties of social interaction. This one specifically looks at the challenge of finding a job. Paul is 52 and has fairly recently developed Tourette syndrome; 34-year-old Brett s autism makes it hard for him to communicate verbally, causing him to fail every interview he s attended for the past eight years. Experts offer the men guidance on how to circumvent or even harness the fact that their brains function differently. An open-minded approach to hiring, or neuro-diversity, can be rewarding for employers and leads to tear-jerking scenes here. JACK SEALE 24 Hours in A&E 9.00pm C4 DOCUMENTARY There s something about the 24 Hours cameras that encourage openness; its subjects are often remarkably frank about their feelings, their love and gratitude for the people in their life. That s certainly true for Jason, 51, and his friend Matthew, waiting with him in A&E. They met as boys, but their friendship has endured even through tragedy. You either run a mile, or you re there, says Matthew. Then there s Andy, 26, who hurt his knee playing frisbee. His mate Sam ( One of the best things that s ever happened to me, says Andy) has been there for him through difficult times so of course he s by his side at St George s, too.

91 WEDNESDAY 23 MARCH MARK MIODOWNIK S TV HERO Heinz Wolff [far right] on The Great Egg Race solved problems by making machines, says Mark Miodownik (inset) of Chef v Science (9pm BBC4). At that time [the series ran from 1979 to 86], TV about making things was always arts and crafts, but he was unashamedly interested in electronics. He showed that engineering is not Chef v Science: the Ultimate Kitchen Challenge 9.00pm BBC4 FOOD Is cooking a science or an art? That s the question this show brings to the table. Bit of both, surely? But that wouldn t make good telly, would it? No, it has to be one or the other, and professor of materials Mark Miodownik (above) is keen to show that his knowledge of food at the atomic level can trump Marcus Wareing s instinctive flair. It s an epic tussle between chalkand-cheese cooks. By the end of their first challenge, to create a soup, things are getting tetchy, and Miodownik gets a dressing-down. You didn t really love and understand that tomato, scolds Wareing. GARY ROSE RadioTimes March 2016 Raised by Wolves 10.00pm C4 SITCOM Writers Caitlin and Caroline Moran always give leather-jacketed mother-of-six Della all the best lines, but they outdo themselves tonight. Year one, begins Della s damning description of motherhood (delivered in the pound shop s staff room for added poignancy), Five hours a day shoving a creature resembling an enraged otter into a jumpsuit... Naturally, it s Germaine on the sharp end after she delights in a pregnancy scare. Her punishment is a tedious and very funny shift in Poundlord, so she sees the other side of her mother s life. Meanwhile, Aretha finds a soul mate: her new economics teacher, played by Call the Midwife s Charlotte Ritchie. CLAIRE WEBB other it s what we all do all the time without realising. It s a shame programmes like Top Gear are less about engineering, and more about Wolff was enthusiastic but showed that TV is not all ego. I wanted to end up like him, and I m starting to I m going bald, and I have this strange urge to wear bow ties STARCROSSED LOVERS Sidney (James Norton) still pines for married Amanda (Morven Christie) The Interviews 10.00pm Gold ARTS There s a definite void on chat shows these days now that Dame Edna Everage has, apparently, retired. Nobody pricked celebrity and VIP pomp with more aplomb ( Tell me the history of that frock, Judy ). That desire to outrage is eloquently expressed by her Aussie creator, Barry Humphries, in these enlightening archive interviews. It s fun to see the slow transition from dowdy Python Pepperpot to queen wasp in a Mrs Slocombe wig. And from rather dismal patter to the fantastically tart one-liner we know and love today. Unlike Humphries s other creation, dribbling diplomat Les Patterson, Edna remained somehow likeable in spite of her offensive bigotries. MARK BRAXTON Grantchester 9.00pm ITV DRAMA It s tempting to think of Grantchester as a sort of 1950s Midsomer Murders, but there s more to it than country killings and sunlit scenery. When it s at its best as tonight there s a real, swooning sadness to it, particularly in the doomed love between Sidney (James Norton) and his sometime soul mate Amanda (Morven Christie), who is now married, and seemingly out of reach. Though at least Sidney has sparky Margaret to cheer him up. Meanwhile, our hero s friendship with Geordie comes under strain when they each give evidence on opposite sides of the murder trial that has been looming over them. A conviction will mean the death penalty, and to drive the point home, there is a hanging in the murder case of the week, where a racehorse owner is convinced his dead wife has come back to haunt him. Sidney s sort-of-exorcism doesn t go to plan.

100 The pick of today s TV Television Thursday CASE HARDENED AC12 stalwarts Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), Arnott (Martin Compston) and Fleming (Vicky McClure) PICK OF THE DAY Line of Duty 9.00pm BBC2 DRAMA OF THE WEEK Writer Jed Mercurio hurls us straight into the muchanticipated third series of his brilliant, visceral crime drama with an armed police operation. Amid the chaos, and a thundering soundtrack, Sergeant Danny Waldron (Daniel Mays) and his small, tight team, chase a suspect. The outcome brings in our old friends from AC12, the police anti-corruption unit. They know all is not right with Waldron, an angry, isolated, driven man. It s a tremendous start to what promises to be yet another triumph of febrile action and thrumming emotional tension. Two years after the last series, Line of Duty devotees will be thrilled to learn that the nuts and bolts are all in order notably those tightly filmed interview sequences where suspects are taken through evidence bit by bit, under the gimlet gaze of Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar). And Mercurio, with his usual audacity, takes us where we never expect to go. ALISON GRAHAM See feature: page 10 The TV That Made Me 3.45pm BBC1 DAYTIME CHOICE There s been such a fantastic range of guests on this enjoyably nostalgic series, so the shows you remember fondly are bound to crop up occasionally. Today it s the turn of Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark to be on the receiving end of the questioning for a change. She ll be talking about her game-changing interview in 1990 with former PM Margaret Thatcher, who was apparently deeply angry at being interviewed by a woman. And among Kirsty s much-loved TV programmes is one she adored as a child, the stylish 60s spy caper The Man From UNCLE, starring Robert Vaughn. Tomorrow actress Amanda Abbington joins Brian Conley. JANE RACKHAM Emmerdale 7.00pm, 8.00pm ITV SOAP Holly Barton is back and, within minutes of her return, is expressing concerns about Cain. Please, not someone else trying to tear Cain and Moira apart! After Chrissie, Charity and Pete s efforts, I m surprised that there s any marriage left to rent asunder. But still, it ll be good to have Holly back, especially as, for once, we don t have to deal with a head swap. Yes, original actress Sophie Powles will be reprising the role, the first time since Elsewhere, Rhona decides that she wants a fresh start with love cheat Paddy in Germany. And there are graveyard comedy capers for David and Val s oversized headstone. DAVID BROWN Soapland: page 71 Medical Mysteries 8.00pm Channel 5 DOCUMENTARY No frills here, just ordinary people recalling the time they were struck by horrible illnesses that baffled doctors. Cameron, a sunny and able Antrim 11-year-old, acquired tics, sore joints and violent mood swings almost overnight. Tourette syndrome? A brain tumour? Meanwhile, super-fit Linda, 61, tells a tale of the triathlon that nearly killed her when her lungs filled with fluid without warning. Both featured cases are intriguing, if rather drawn out. But a better programme would have ditched the young singer whose condition is common in believe-it-ornot medical compendia: she stinks of fish. JACK SEALE The Big Bang Theory 8.30pm E4 SITCOM After the writers developed power couple Shamy in dramatic fashion last week, they ve separated them again Amy is away at a work conference. So manchild Sheldon, as he helpfully declares to his friends, is available to be entertained. Raj draws the short straw, taking Sheldon to the observatory to help him scan for rogue planets. Howard and Bernadette are also at a loose end, when their unwanted lodger oddball loner Stuart finally moves out. Could they be suffering withdrawals? But perhaps the most compelling plot sees Leonard s ploy to help Penny with her sales-rep job culminate in both of them opening up to a psychiatrist. Will they benefit from the experience?

101 THURSDAY 24 MARCH BUILDING WITH WILLS & HARRY As DIY SOS: the Big Build returns tonight (9pm BBC1), we look back at some of the series big builds. Million Pound Build for Children in Need (2013) In Peterborough, the team created a new centre for a children s charity in just nine days. Digging for Britain 9.00pm BBC4 DOCUMENTARY Some terrific finds this week in the archaeology show that widens our mental horizons. One involves a character who could have stepped straight from BBC4 s own Detectorists, a chap called Derek who (after years of patient searching) found a hoard of Viking treasures in a Scottish field. It includes silver arm-rings, a decorated Christian crucifix most likely plunder from a church and a beautifully wrapped jar that reveals its secrets under a medical scanner. Alice Roberts explores finds from other places that are equally magical, including an engraved pendant from a settlement in Yorkshire: it s a staggering 11,000 years old. DAVID BUTCHER Floods Special (2007) The team aided families in South Yorkshire whose homes were flooded. The Big Build: Homes for Veterans (2015) Princes William and Harry donned hard hats to renovate a derelict Manchester street into homes for ex-soldiers. The Good Wife 9.00pm More4 DRAMA Our old friend, the search engine Chumhum, is in trouble again when a restaurant owner claims she went bust because of its racist profiling of her business s location. Defence counsellor Louis Canning (Michael J Fox) calls in Alicia Florrick and Lucca Quinn, but it s really Lucca (Cush Jumbo) he s after as Canning s law firm, is, as he puts it, too pale. It s an episode that ticks over rather than drives us forward, though there are some big hints about the dark side of Alicia s creepy investigator, Jason (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). But that s hardly a surprise. Still, there are highlights for lovers of made-up, prissy American television swear words with two more bullcraps. AG Stewart Lee s Comedy Vehicle 10.00pm BBC2 COMEDY The masterly comedian riffs on a child s experience of death probably the most unlikely subject for a comedy routine, but that s the point. In Lee s deft hands it becomes a selfconscious, nuanced and searching flight back into his on-stage persona s childhood memories and a moving story about a beloved pet mouse. But Lee being Lee, we re also reminded that in death the mouse looked like a certain 1970s rocker. BEN DOWELL Thicker than Water 10.00pm More4 DRAMA The warring Swedish siblings Oskar, Lasse and Jonna seem to be inching towards accommodations with one another now it s been made clear the terms of their mum s will are binding. If any of them leaves the pretty island and the family bed and breakfast, they ll get nothing. Though Thicker than Water has many ponderous moments, it s still a pleasant piece of sunny, seaside escapism. And if you are fond of gazing upon beefy men in vests, then feast your eyes. Brothers Lasse and Oskar show us their meaty shoulders as they dig silt from that grotty, sinister swimming pool. AG DISCOVER TV PICK Today s best of BBC3, iplayer, Netflix and beyond Flat TV from 6pm iplayer (BBC3) Tom Rosenthal and Naz Osmanoglu play bickering slacker mates is what seems like, and essentially is, an unremarkable flatshare sitcom. The gimmick is that their schemes and arguments keep morphing into TV spoofs, of everything from the news to Big Brother. CHILDREN S CHOICE Magic Hands 11.10am CBeebies In a two-poem episode, Aimee and Ashley make new friends with a slithery eel and lots of twinkling herring fish. Go Jetters 5.20pm CBeebies Today, Glitch travels to Rome, hoping to race his grimbots in the Colosseum. Thursday Television FIGHT CLUB Tracing the family history of Joe and Gary Farrar The Secret History of My Family 8.00pm BBC2 DOCUMENTARY If you think Julian Fellowes is good at capturing the strata of the British class system, try this for a different take. The latest in an expertly stitched-together series profiles three families who all descend from participants involved in a gang fight in 1890s Salford. We hear how the families of each of the gang leaders evolved down the generations and then, in a storyline with a very different path, from descendants of the magistrate who heard the original case and was minded to introduce flogging as a way to keep the peace. Ordinary but fascinating lives are brought into focus and there s a nagging sense of how social status defines people: the series is not a great ad for British social mobility. We are all prisoners sometimes in a positive way of our family culture, purrs the wealthiest of the descendants. DAVID BUTCHER BEST LIVE SPORT Super League Rugby: Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos 7.30pm (k/o 8pm) SS2 Denny Solomona has been running in tries for the Tigers.

(2014, 12) Television Thursday A director to be proud of Hope and Glory pm Movie Mix FREEVIEW John Boorman is all too often left off the great British film-makers lists. Arriving in Hollywood in the 1960s after a grounding in TV news and a Dave Clark Five film, he scored instant kudos for Point Blank and earned an Oscar nomination for Deliverance. Surviving Exorcist II, he went on to make Hope and Glory (review, p43) and The General. Mixing the personal with the commercial, he is never dull, always hopeful and often glorious. ANDREW COLLINS Dustin goes viral Outbreak pm TCM Dustin Hoffman stars here as an army medic trying to save the world from a lethal virus imported into America from Africa. You could read this as an Aids allegory, but it also works well as a race-against-time thriller with conspiracy cover-up overtones. Director Wolfgang Petersen marshals the effects superbly, and if Hoffman lacks the requisite heroism needed for a leading man, you at least feel you could trust him. TONY SLOMAN Back-to-back Jack The Shining/One Flew over the Cuckoo s Nest from 7.30pm Sky Select Jack Nicholson was in his prime in the 70s thanks to brilliant turns in The Last Detail and Chinatown.

110 Television Friday FRIDAY Choices The pick of today s TV GOOD EGGS Michaela Strachan and Chris Packham PICK OF THE DAY Springwatch at Easter 9.00pm BBC2 mnature Springwatch proper arrives in late May or June, but by then things feel distinctly summery for some of us, so this early one-off report is welcome. Apart from anything else, there are the effects of a deceptive winter to assess. To explain what that might mean as the year rolls on, Springwatch s weatherman Nick Miller will be on hand with a map of the UK etched into the sand at Broad Haven beach on the Welsh coast. But the real draw are the films, which include a visit to a Yorkshire pond where a spawning of frogs has attracted predators from owls to otters; plus a golden eagle we met on Winterwatch is fitted with a satellite tracking device. The team is based in Pembrokeshire, in the UK s only coastal national park: Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Martin Hughes-Games will bring us news of the local wildlife, while Iolo Williams reflects on the effects of the disastrous Sea Empress oil spill, 20 years on. DAVID BUTCHER In the Footsteps of Judas 9.00am BBC1 DOCUMENTARY She s the coolest vicar on television because of her appearances on Channel 4 s Gogglebox, so Nottingham minister Kate Bottley should attract a sizeable audience for this examination of the Bible s most notorious villain Judas Iscariot. She s in Jerusalem, piecing together events leading up to the Crucifixion, talking to theological experts and visiting the Upper Room of the Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane. Kate once told RT that being a Christian brings doubt, questions and massive wobbles and that Rev was the best religious broadcasting I ve seen, so this is likely to be challenging. JANE RACKHAM Doctors 1.30pm BBC1 DAYTIME CHOICE It s the morning of Valerie and Barry s wedding. After a distressing dream about health, marriage and mortality, the bride is still feeling positive there s life in her yet, she tells Ayesha. But then she takes a call from her consultant who gives her some startling news. Meanwhile, a nervous Barry (David Perks) finally arrives at the wedding venue to get ready, but Rob is aghast to discover that Barry wants them to wear kilts because of his Scottish heritage. As Valerie (Sarah Moyle) walks down the aisle towards Barry, she sees the faces of her friends and colleagues and everything she has dreamt of for so long except this time it s real. JR Unreported World 7.30pm C4 CURRENT AFFAIRS The economic crisis in Venezuela has caused a major shortage of medicines, and has forced thousands of people into a desperate daily search to get hold of the drugs they need. In an investigation that, like so many in the series is uncomfortable to watch, Krishnan Guru-Murthy visits Caracas. There, he meets the mother of an eight-year-old girl who suffers from epilepsy and a brain tumour. She travels from one pharmacy to another, determined to find the medicine to keep her daughter alive. Guru-Murthy also visits the capital s children s hospital, meeting doctors keen to expose the frightening scale of the emergency. SARAH CARSON Travel Man: 48 Hours in Seville 8.30pm C4 DOCUMENTARY Richard Ayoade and Catastrophe comic Rob Delaney are in Seville breakfasting on churros those long fingers of fried dough so popular in southern Spain. Delaney thinks they re wonderful. Ayoade isn t so sure: This is what my arteries now look like. Unlike most travel shows, there s no gushing. Instead, Ayoade drags his companion through the must-see sights while delivering dry one-liners often to the bewilderment of locals. The result is very funny, especially when he and Delaney do their worst cowboy impression in a western film set turned theme park. CLAIRE WEBB 110 RadioTimes Friday 25 March 2016

111 GOOD FRIDAY AWKWARD INTERVIEWS As Graham Norton returns (10.25pm BBC1), we remember some of his trickier encounters Sinead O Connor (2012): The singer (right) told Norton she d been treated as a crazy person for 25 years, and that she was a nervous wreck about interviews. Boomers 9.00pm BBC1 SITCOM This is the ensemble sitcom about a group of retirees, three couples. They re the 60s generation who are now in their 60s, the baby boomers. There are hen-pecked husbands and wives who drink too much, and jokes at the expense of caravans and cyclists. It has a terrific cast and sharply observed moments, but it also includes broad exchanges such as,trevor: I like to jump on the exercise bike first thing in the morning. John: That s no way to talk about Carol! At moments like that, your heart sinks. Much better is where wives at a campsite denounce their boring husbands. And then you sense the sitcom it could be. DB Mark Wahlberg (2013): Well refreshed and slurring his words, the actor tweaked the host s nipples. Richard Gere (2013): Gere repeatedly but cheerfully replied to Norton s scurrilous claims: I don t know what you re talking about. Britain s Whales/ Britain s Sharks 8.00pm/9.00pm ITV mdocumentary Ben Fogle and Ellie Harrison join a remarkable expedition to a patch of warm water off the west coast of Wales, where the most impressive ocean wildlife gathers. After a successful search for humpback whales and dolphins, the main event is the towing of a whale carcass to attract sharks. Blue sharks arrive, multitudinous, beautiful and dangerous. There s some self-congratulatory goop to wade through: endless awe and wonder from the hosts and a curious obsession with telling us this is happening in British waters. Ignore all that, though, and the sights are spectacular. JACK SEALE See feature: page 28 Stan Lee s Lucky Man 9.00pm Sky1 DRAMA This well-appointed but wobbly thriller ends tonight, building to a showdown at the Hampstead mansion of series baddie, Golding. Lucky Man has been a strange, lumpy mixture of comic-book and crime-drama devices with dollops of melodrama thrown in. Mostly the mix has been rescued by a cast James Nesbitt, Eve Best, Steven Mackintosh who give the script a huge leg-up. As the finale opens, Harry (Nesbitt) is in prison at the mercy of Golding. But it wouldn t be much of a finale if he was stuck there, so the magic bracelet finds a way to get him out. DB The Graham Norton Show 10.25pm BBC1 ENTERTAINMENT Blinding white teeth and chiselled jawlines tonight on Graham s sofa: try not to feel too inadequate as you hoover down the last of the pinot grigio. We re dutifully promoting big new mash-up movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice by chatting with Ben Affleck (Batman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane) and Jersey beefcake Henry Cavill (Superman). What might seem like a box-office banker has provoked a mixed reaction from comic-book fans ahead of its release, but the stars are sure to talk it up convincingly. Music comes from the Pet Shop Boys. JS DISCOVER TV PICK Today s best of BBC3, iplayer, Netflix and beyond Cosmos: a Spacetime Odyssey Netflix Neil degrasse Tyson takes over as host, but some of the team behind the late Carl Sagan s 1980 series contribute to this reboot, which is on Netflix from today. It has the same exciting sci-fi sweep, and the same goal of inspiring young scientists. CHILDREN S CHOICE Peter Rabbit Special 8.20am CBeebies Peter and Lily come to Benjamin s rescue when he finds himself inside Mr McGregor s house. The Dumping Ground 5.00pm CBBC Ryan s at the centre of today s double bill of adventures. Friday Television FOR YOUR EYES ONLY Disgraced political aide Elin (Louise Peterhoff) sees sinister forces at work Blue Eyes 9.00pm More4 DRAMA New series Don t worry if it takes you a while to get your bearings in this Swedish conspiracy thriller. We re pitched into the heat of action that is fragmented to start with, but the pieces soon fall into place, leaving us with a teasing, troubling, House-of-Cards-y tale set against the run-up to an election. The minister of justice persuades his disgraced former aide Elin Hammar (Louise Peterhoff) working as a waitress to come back and work for him. It seems odd timing, and Elin is told that Sarah, the woman she replaces, is on sick leave. But we know, thanks to a creepy early sequence, something sinister has befallen her, and Elin soon smells the rat. At the same time, a mother s decision to stand for the antiimmigration Security Party divides her family and puts her in the firing line. Somewhere just out of sight, dark forces are at work.

120 Radio EDITED BY JANE ANDERSON Mark Lawson asks whether justice is served by bringing alleged perpetrators of the Holocaust to trial in their 90s Setting the Past Free Thursday 11.30am Radio 4 On the wall outside an apartment block in Tel Aviv is an aluminium plaque, seeming by its brightness to be fairly recent. Lines of Hebrew script record that, in 1957, the occupant of Number 6, a saviour of Jews in the Holocaust, was killed by assassins. Dr Rudolf Kastner was the murdered resident, a Hungarian émigré to the then young state of Israel. He became a political official but was accused, in a pamphlet written by another immigrant, Malchiel Gruenwald, of being a Nazi collaborator. Kastner, a Zionist leader, made a deal for around 1,700 Hungarian Jews to escape on a train, but hundreds of thousands of others died, so his detractors accused him of agreeing to keep silent about the Holocaust to save the lives of a minority, including many of his relatives. On behalf of their employee, the Israeli government sued for libel, but, in 1955, after a lengthy trial, a judge effectively found Kastner guilty, comparing his actions to Faust s deal with the devil. By the time he was largely exonerated by the Supreme Court who concluded that, trapped in a hellish dilemma, he had saved as many lives as he could Dr Kastner had been executed by right-wing zealots who saw him as a traitor to Judaism. The fact that the shiny plaque outside his home now treats him as a hero is a measure of how Kastner s standing has begun to change, perhaps partly because subsequent history has shown Israel that moral decisions, in times of war, are rarely clean or easy. Kastner was executed but is now treated as a hero In the dock Kastner s story has been frequently retried by literature. In 1961, the celebrated American dramatist Ben Hecht took an unlikely authorial diversion with Perfidy, a book-length rant that accused Kastner, and even the State of Israel, of REAPPRAISED Rudolf Kastner is now hailed as a saviour of Jews in the Holocaust being in effect anti-semitic. Perfidy partly inspired Perdition, a 1987 British play by Jim Allen, while Motti Lerner has written several scripts on the subject, including the 1993 Israeli TV hit, The Kastner Trail. Perdition was cancelled by the Royal Court Theatre in London 48 hours before its first performance, following protests from Jewish public figures, and The Kastner Trial was the subject of a petition to the Israeli Supreme Court. The factual and fictional prosecutions of Kastner are part of a sequence of proceedings, over six decades, in which the Holocaust has been put on HAPPIER trial. In TIMES 1960, Israel captured Saviour of Jews Adolf Eichmann, Rudolf the Kastner Nazi and with whom Kastner had negotiated his daughter in Budapest, Zsuzsi and prosecuted him for war crimes live on TV. In 1986, John Demjanjuk, a retired Ukrainian-American car-worker, was extradited to Israel, and accused of having been Ivan the Terrible, a concentration camp guard. A decade later, Professor Deborah Lipstadt, a contributor to my Radio 4 series about Kastner, was unsuc- 120 RadioTimes March 2016

121 PICK OF THE WEEK BY JANE ANDERSON Boswell s Lives Monday 11.30am Radio 4 OLD NAZIS ON TRIAL In 2011, John Demjanjuk, then 91, was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the deaths of 28,000 people while a guard at the Sobibor concentration camp in Poland. He died in Reinhold Hanning, 94, went on trial in Germany this year over the murder of 170,000 people at Auschwitz. He admits being a guard at the camp but denies escorting prisoners to the gas chambers. Last year former Auschwitz bookkeeper Oskar Gröning, 94 (left), was found guilty of facilitating the deaths of 300,000 people when he was 21 (below). He was sentenced to four years in prison. It s 1968 and Muhammad Ali has lost his mojo. Stripped of his heavyweight boxing title for refusing to be conscripted into the Vietnam War, he s out of shape and out of sorts. He s no longer the greatest. Fortunately, Samuel Johnson s biographer, James Boswell ( ), is on hand to provide a pick-me-up, some blood-brother bonding. This entirely unfeasible scenario is the work of supreme comedy writer Jon Canter. The first series of Boswell s Lives won the Best European Radio Fiction Series or Serial award at last year s Prix Europa and it s not lost its edge this time round. Boswell (played by Miles Jupp) attempts to show Ali (a convincing interpretation by Lenny Henry, below) that being Scottish makes him as much an outsider as a black Muslim man in 1960s America. The boxer is not so easily convinced. When I was growing up, everybody that mattered was white: Jesus was white, Superman was white, Tarzan was white, the President was white. Even Santa Claus was white! Are you sure? Was he not merely covered in snow? responds Boswell. A true comic treat. ON TRIAL Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in He was executed the following year cessfully sued for libel by maverick historian David Irving, whose depiction of the Holocaust she d questioned. That trial is the subject of a forthcoming movie, Denial, starring Rachel Weisz. Though different in detail and motivation, all of these proceedings seem to reflect a belief that the law might somehow hand down a decisive verdict on how and why the Holocaust happened. Perhaps this is because the idea of the trial is at the heart of Judaism. Whereas the basis of Christian teaching comes from a series of Thou Shalt Not instructions dropped by God on a mountain top, Jewish scripture, the Talmud, takes the form of a series of legal hearings on the relationship between the divine and humankind, accumulated through opinions of thousands of rabbis across time. At a basic theological level, Christianity derives from Commandments written in stone, but Judaism can be a matter of opinion, although the most orthodox Jews would dispute that. More toxically, a 400-year-old fictional trial involving a Jew has become a favourite weapon of anti-semites. In The Merchant of Venice, Shylock is, like Kastner, a plaintiff who ends up defending his reputation and liberty: his seeking of a pound of flesh has entered the vernacular of those who seek to denigrate the race and faith. Despite this, Jewish belief in the law as a source of settlement has continued, even in the most extreme circumstances. The writer Elie Wiesel, an Auschwitz survivor, heard during his internment of an incident in which concentration camp inmates put God on trial, in a version of the rabbinical court or beth din, for the crime of allowing the Holocaust. This anecdote, with its surprising outcome, was the basis of Wiesel s 1979 play The Trial of God, and Frank Cottrell Boyce s 2008 BBC TV drama, God on Trial. The pleas go on. Last summer, Oskar Gröning, 94, a former Nazi guard at Auschwitz, was jailed in Germany. Hubert Z, a colleague one year his senior, is currently on trial. Pragmatists might observe that these men are the defendants in legal history who have least to fear from the prospect of life imprisonment. But, for others, the Holocaust was a unique crime that must be tried for as long as there are witnesses and suspects left breathing. And so the case goes on. AMBRIDGE DIARY The Archers this week... Alf Grundy is winning hearts and minds in the village, with Clarrie declaring him a changed man. But has she spoken too soon? Later in the week she makes a shocking discovery and ends up losing it with Alf. Lynda feels the pressure as her upcoming pageant threatens to turn into another magnum opus. And it doesn t help when Bert comes up with an idea that poleaxes Lynda. As she suggests a peaceful compromise that would suit her own ends, Bert tugs on the heartstrings. Who will win the day? And, finally, it looks like Helen is reaching a turning point as a determined Kirsty tries to bring her friend to her senses. Will Helen be galvanised into taking action?

123 MY PEOPLE BY STUART MACONIE REX; ALAMY I m losing it! My brain has a bad case of whatshisname Amazon do a thing on their videos called X-Ray that allows you to pause a scene and instantly identify the actors and everything they ve been in. My addled memory has used it many times. Why haven t they invented it for real life yet? The gentle slippage of names from my memory used to be a rare occurrence. Like a grey hair, or a blurry page in a book. Now my brain can try to recall a name for minutes at a time without success. It flips through its Rolodex, tries to cross-match stored images with recalled sounds in an effort to scramble a first or last name, increasingly without success. The other day I tried for five minutes to recall the name of the world-famous actress who was in The Lady in the Van, California Suite and Downton Abbey. There s no good you saying the name in your head now. Where were you the other day when I literally had to search online to find Dame Maggie Smith? Googling is no use for familiar faces, of course. Last night I was in an almost swanky restaurant when a tall, distinguished, greying gentleman of about 45 was seated with his female companion. Had he danced in Strictly? I looked away then back again. Retired footballer? Pundit? Was he famous for being married to someone? Chef? As much as it was polite to do, I stared. No name came. I could, of course, have simply asked him, but I would have died of embarrassment. By the time my coffee arrived I was none the wiser. There is no ending to this story. It will only get worse. True story: a colleague on the PM team phoned a relative in Scotland the other week. As my colleague relayed it, the conversation went like this: Colleague I m thinking of coming to visit soon. Relative Oh, I wouldn t do that just yet. The place is still in a mess because of all the slugs. It s been terrible. Colleague Really? Relative Biggest slugs we ve had in years and years. Devastated the land. Slugs like most people have never seen. It s been terrible. Huge slugs. Colleague (slowly waking up to the idea that there s a giant killer-slug story out there that hasn t yet been told) Seriously they ve really damaged people s gardens and the like? Relative Oh yes. Destroyed many of them. If I hadn t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn t have believed it. Colleague (reaching for notebook) So just how big were these slugs? Can you estimate? Relative Slugs? Colleague (pen in hand) Yes, how big were the giant slugs? Relative What are you talking about? I said floods. I got home from a couple of days away last week and opened the kitchen door to be met with, well, I hate to admit it, a strange smell. The sort of smell women with scrunched-up noses have been smelling in TV air freshener commercials for years. Sort of musty. Had something gone off? I checked the bin first. I took it outside. On my return the whiff was still pungent. I scanned the room for anything else that could be responsible. The soles of my shoes. The fridge. Had something fallen on the floor and turned green? Nothing. Where was the pong coming from? After ten minutes it was driving me nuts. And then I spied it in the corner. The item causing the foul smell. It was the mulled-wine-scented air freshener I d bought to mask foul smells. AEddie Mair presents PM, Monday Friday 5pm, and ipm, Saturday 5.45am, both Radio 4 ONLY DOING HER JOB While I m not one of those curmudgeons who mutter darkly about luvvies, I do roll my eyes a little when I hear actors saying things like, First nights are a bit like going over the top at the Somme. That s why I love actress Greta Scacchi for her reply to an earnest interviewer who expressed amazement at her faculty with accents. Well, it is my job, she replied, gently, clearly baffled. You wouldn t trust a butcher who couldn t carve a joint, would you? It s the least I should be able to do. (Saturday Classics, Sat 1pm Radio 3) DRINKING BEER WITH A LEGEND Recording a session one summer night at the BBC s old studios in Manchester, Drugstore s Brazilian singer Isabel Monteiro invited me to their show. My friend Jeff is going to drum with us. You d like him. He seemed a nice guy, goofy and sweet, and we chatted over a beer later about his own album, Grace, which was starting to pick up critical interest. As it turned out, Jeff Buckley, for it was he, never reaped the rewards, as he drowned while taking a dip in the Mississippi. But I remember my one conversation with the man some now think of as one of the greatest singers of all time, in a grubby student bar next to a kebab shop. (Laurence Fox selects a Jeff Buckley track: Ken Bruce, Monday 9.30am Radio 2) SIMPLY MACTASTIC I spent a pleasant hour or so a few years back with Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. We talked about the strange way in which the two of them came to be bandmates. While looking to take his blues band in a different direction, Mick had been trying out studios in LA. At one, Sound City, the track used to show off the studio s handiwork was Frozen Love from a duo called Buckingham Nicks. Mick liked the sound and promptly asked Lindsey (Buckingham) and Stevie (Nicks) to join the band. They hesitated... for seconds.

124 Saturday Radio ALEX GREEN SATURDAY Radio Today s Choices Opera on 3: Live from the Met 5.00pm Radio 3 Oh, the effects of a cheap bottle of plonk especially when it s being passed off as the potent elixir of love in L elisir d amore. Quack Doctor Dulcamara is the panacea-peddling purveyor of the fake elixir while dopey bumpkin Nemorino reckons it might help him win the love of capricious (and wealthy) village landowner, Adina. Donizetti s bucolic frolic is an effervescent comedy full of fizz, fun and glorious melodies (including the show-stopping tenor aria Una furtiva lagrima). The Met fields a terrific cast with vivacious Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak as the wayward Adina, star Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo as elixir-swigging Nemorino and irrepressible Italian baritone Alessandro Corbelli giving his renowned portrayal of that genial charlatan, Dulcamara. It s a real tonic.

There were only 22 episodes, the last in 1978, but the show still plays around the world. Last week Crawford revived his character for Sport Relief. No wonder comedy historian Mark Lewisohn has written that Frank Spencer is deeply embedded in the collective consciousness. Fans will love this hour-long tribute, a pick-up from Radio Solent. Writer Raymond Allen ( No one found it funny. No one wanted to be Frank Spencer ) and stunt arranger Stuart Fell are both locals.

126 Sunday Radio JULIAN DE NARVAEZ SUNDAY Radio Today s Choices Drama on 3: The Skriker 9.00pm Radio 3 The phantasmagorical world laid before us by playwright Caryl Churchill is not a pleasant one. There s a malevolent shape-shifting fairy (the Skriker) stalking two sisters one of whom is pregnant, the other in a secure psychiatric unit after killing her baby. But the human world does not come across any better full of selfish, destructive choices and actions. Churchill explains in her introduction that at the time of writing she wanted green politics to bubble up in an unobtrusive way. I struggled to spot this at all, as the drama is dominated by the powerhouse performance of Maxine Peake as the Skriker. It s a dark, disturbing and compelling tale, as all good fairy stories should be but please don t expect a happy ending. This is more Angela Carter than Walt Disney. Drama: The Magus 3.00pm Radio 4 John Fowles s The Magus is one of my favourite novels, so I approached this dramatisation with caution. How could the intricate plot twists and mesmerising descriptions of a Greek island possibly work on radio? I need not have worried. Adrian Hodges s faithful and intelligent interpretation of Fowles s original text is perfectly pitched, and the casting of Charles Dance as the mysterious, potentially deadly guru figure of Maurice Conchis is a stroke of genius. He was made for the role. This opening episode sees the young and disillusioned Nicholas Urfe take a teaching post on the island of Phraxos. His life is about to be thrown into chaos...

He talks to Michael Berkeley about his musical passions, which reflect a life lived all over the world, and chooses music by Mozart, Berg and Beethoven, as well as a ghazal from 13th-century India.

130 Tuesday Radio REX TUESDAY Radio Today s Choices The Returnees 8.00pm Radio 4 BBC security correspondent, Gordon Corera deals with one of the most pressing issues of the day how should we deal with British nationals who go to fight in Syria, become disillusioned ( We came to fight the regime and instead we are involved in gang warfare, says one), and want to return to the UK? The British government has the option to impose prison sentences. Other countries have different approaches. France has placed more than 400 citizens under house arrest. But Denmark and Germany try to rehabilitate former jihadists. Corera speaks to a former head of counterterrorism at MI6 and Scotland Yard s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Helen Ball about procedures that could affect all our lives. Should young people who have been led astray by fanaticism be given a second chance? DAVID MCGILLIVRAY The Women Who Wrote Rock 11.30am Radio 4 June Harris, Dawn James and Nancy Lewis. You may not have heard of them, but these trailblazing young music journalists brought the dynamic 1960s music scene to vivid, colourful life through a writing style very different from that of today s music press. After the launch of NME (1952) and before Rolling Stone (1967) at the dawn of the concept of rock music a raft of new British pop music magazines appeared. Many of their journalists, reviewing and interviewing the biggies of the time (including the Beatles), were women. Journalist Kate Mossman gives them a chance to tell all and it should prove eye-opening.

Major 1984 acts included Wham!, Bronski Beat and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, who ruled the charts with three number ones, though its lead members Holly Johnson and Paul Rutherford were not publicly out.

132 Wednesday Radio LEO AVERSA WEDNESDAY Radio Today s Choices Pet Shop Boys, Documentary 10.00pm Radio 2 A lesson in how to chart and dissect a near-35-year pop career with elan, this exquisite four-parter on Britain s premier duo the Pet Shop Boys (above) is the work of a triumvirate of top talent. There s the articulate ex-journalist (Neil Tennant in droll and savvy, non-pompous self-congratulatory mode) and his endearing foil (a self-mocking and atypically chatty Chris Lowe), plus the series s silent partner in Radio 2 producer Malcolm Prince. Prince s editing in the first hour alone seamlessly weaves coverage of the first six albums (and snippets of more than 30 tracks) with Neil and Chris s commentary, which runs from Kermit the Frog to Aids while never feeling like a rush job. It s a convincingly intimate dream stuffed with trade secrets, name-dropping and words such as faff and supplicant, plus the duo s usual perfectionist self-packaging. Really. DAVID OPPEDISANO Drama: Blake in Lambeth 2.15pm Radio 4 Largely ignored in his own lifetime, William Blake s prophetic poem of a London lost to industrial progress is now a staple of the school curriculum. But if Blake wandered thro each charter d street of the city today, what would he see? That is the premise of this brilliantly bonkers drama in which the artist is uprooted from 1794 Lambeth in the middle of a midlife crisis and plonked on to the same streets in Toby Jones gives an all too convincing performance as the raving visionary and Kirsty Oswald stars as his modern muse: teetering on the brink between innocence and experience.

All the established religions teach some form of existence after life, from concepts of heaven and hell to theories of reincarnation. Common to all is the principle that good or bad actions in this life will have repercussions after death. But how relevant are these theories of the afterlife to the world we live in now?

134 Thursday Radio ALAMY THURSDAY Radio Today s Choices Ramblings 3.00pm Radio 4 This is the boundary stone on the outskirts of the Derbyshire village of Eyam. The six holes in the rock would be filled with coins that had been doused in vinegar by the grateful villagers in return for supplies left at the border. In the autumn of 1665 they contracted bubonic plague and the Reverend William Mompesson and their former Puritan minister Thomas Stanley persuaded the people of Eyam to stop the spread of the plague by staying put. Clare Balding joins a pilgrimage walk with some of the village s current church-goers, including their new Rector. He s a rumbustious fellow who thinks nothing of doing some nearvertical rock climbing while the others are taking a more gentle stroll. A suitably spiritual walk for Maundy Thursday. JANE ANDERSON Radio 3 in Concert 7.30pm Radio 3 Bach composed more than 200 sacred cantatas (often writing one a week) and the three Lenten and Passiontide cantatas we hear tonight mark the Easter season (including one written in Weimar for a Palm Sunday performance). The Academy of Ancient Music and their fine Choir are directed here by the orchestra s leader, Pavlo Beznosiuk, who takes over from indisposed conductor Bernard Labadie. Beznosiuk is one of Europe s finest baroque violinists and teaches the instrument at both the Guildhall School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music.

Lucy Ash asks why thousands of angry Romanian shepherds recently stormed the parliament in Bucharest. Sparked by an amendment to Romania s hunting law, the unprecedented protest was over plans to limit numbers of sheepdogs and restrict grazing rights. The increasing size of flocks is leading to growing conflict with both hunters and conservationists over land use. At heart this is an argument about what the countryside is for. Is its main purpose an economic one? Is it primarily for leisure? Shepherds insist the law is an attack on centuries of sheep-rearing and their culture and traditions. Producer Bridget Harney Repeated Monday 8.30pm BBC Radio 4 Extra Setting the Past Free 2/2.

154 Books YOUR RT A thinking woman s beach Deborah Levy s new novel sizzles with sun and sensuality against the backdrop of Europe s debt crisis Book at Bedtime Monday Friday 10.45pm Radio 4 It s a big theme: have girls got harder and boys got softer? Every family has a hypochondriac, says Deborah Levy. We either know one, or we are one ourselves. I m interested in the ways we use our bodies to control each other, and the way, especially for women, symptoms do the talking. In Levy s terrific new novel, Hot Milk, a British mother and daughter arrive at a clinic in Andalusia, southern Spain, seeking a diagnosis for the mother s mysterious paralysis. Rose is a known hypochondriac, but is she really ill this time? And how much longer can her 25-year-old daughter, Sofia, put her life on hold to act as a detective for her mother s symptoms? At the clinic, while the enigmatic Dr Gomez takes Rose through a battery of tests (including coming off all of her medication), Sofia is free to swim, sunbathe, have love affairs (with a man and a woman) and, finally, make contact with the Greek father who abandoned her 20 years ago. Sizzling with heat and sexuality, Hot Milk is a rite of dysfunctional passage novel, comparable to Hanif Kureishi s edgy The Buddha of Suburbia or Jeanette Winterson s Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. You devour it at one sitting. But it s also subtly political (the events take place against the backdrop of the European debt crisis). As I was writing the book in 2014, I thought: what are the contemporary stories? It seemed to me it was 144 RadioTimes March 2016

155 SHEILA BURNETT; ALAMY read Big Pharma, prescription drugs, debt, the journey of migrants, sexuality, kinship and family. For Levy, debt is the dominant 21st-century story. And when Sofia travels to austeritystrapped Athens to find her father, who now has a baby with a much younger wife, it allows her to explore the psychological debts families owe each other that can never be repaid. Illness is another area of fascination. For Levy the hypochondriac is writing their own story they refuse to be diagnosed, or fixed in their doctor s narrative and keep presenting new, unfathomable symptoms. But it s important to her that Rose is not a figure of fun. The need to control people through illness is a way to gather love and attention, she says. Levy, 56, is both an insider and an outsider to British society. Born in apartheid South Africa in 1959 (her father was imprisoned for four years for being a member of the African National Congress), she moved with her family to London in She trained at Dartington College of Arts in Devon and carved out a reputation for experimental fiction (she had several plays staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1980s), then put her career on hold for 15 years to teach and bring up her two daughters with playwright David Gale. In 2012 she was shortlisted for the BBC Short Story Award for her tale Black Vodka (later the title of a short story collection). That same year she was nominated for the Booker Prize for her novel Swimming Home, a dark fable about a famous poet on a family holiday in the French Riviera, and an unstable young fan, who turns up out of the blue. Levy s 1994 novel, The Unloved, and two early novellas were reissued by Penguin in My career has happened backwards, she says, as she is longlisted for another short story prize for The Glass Woman. There is a mythic quality to Levy s writing. She is fascinated by exile, absent fathers, dreams and the unconscious. In Hot Milk there are references to Freud (Dr Gomez and his therapist WRITE STUFF Author Deborah Levy daughter, Juliet, recall the influential psychoanalyst and his daughter, Anna), Camus, Virginia Woolf and anthropologist Margaret Mead. It s no coincidence that the young heroine Sofia is a student of anthropology. The story is told through her eyes, from her point of view. In fact the novel has five strong female characters something close to Levy s heart. If men and women don t read about female subjectivity, we re missing essential data. Though she thinks the gap between the genders is closing: It s a big theme in the book: have girls got harder and boys got softer? And if rigid definitions of masculinity and femininity have been broken, what does it mean? The action of Hot Milk is set around the desert town of Almería, where Levy and her family have holidayed for the past 17 years. The lunar parched landscape of cacti and succulents, where filmmakers shot spaghetti westerns is a very dramatic landscape to put British characters in, she laughs. It s a bit like Henry James and Forster, who transplanted their American and British characters to Europe to observe them more closely. At home in north London, writing takes place in the garden shed. Throughout the freezing winter, I was able to dream about Almería. Writing a book is such hell, such hard work, so there s something really energising about setting it in Spain! LIZ HOGGARD Hot Milk by Deborah Levy is published in hardback by Hamish Hamilton at Money How to spot a pension scammer page 146 Bringing home the bacon The latest instalment of Alexei Sayle s memoirs have a chapter on meat... THATCHER STOLE MY TROUSERS ALEXEI SAYLE This is the second volume of Alexei Sayle s memoirs; the first, Stalin Ate My Homework, was published in 2010, and covered the actor and comedian s childhood, growing up in Liverpool with fiercely communist parents. This instalment picks up where Stalin left off (as it were), with 19-year-old Sayle boarding a train to London to begin a degree at Chelsea School of Art. Chapter names alone tell whole, vivid stories Didn t Work for Mussolini, Did It?, A Life Told in Preserved Meat but can only hint at the comic power of Sayle in full flow. (Published by Bloomsbury, 16.99) BUT YOU DID NOT COME BACK MARCELINE LORIDAN-IVENS Book of the Week Monday Thursday 9.45am Radio 4 FM Born in France in 1928, Marceline Loridan-Ivens is the daughter of Szlhama Froim Rozenberg, a Polish Jew who came to France in 1919 in search of a freedom he knew he would not find in his native country. Then the Second World War began and, in 1944, when Marceline was 15, she and her father were sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz- Birkenau. There, they were separated. Marceline left the camp alive; her father did not. Her sparing, lucid account of her memories of her father and her grief for the relationship they could have had is both vital historical testimony and a painfully personal tribute. (Published by Faber & Faber at 12.99) WAKING LIONS AYELET GUNDAR-GOSHEN Open Book Sunday 4pm Radio 4 The very first sentence of Israeli writer Ayelet Gundar-Goshen s second novel introduces the abrupt, random violence at the heart of the book. A tired doctor, driving home late at night after a long shift at the hospital, knocks down and kills an Eritrean migrant. Panicked, he drives away, without stopping. But when the wife of the dead man arrives at his home the next morning, the reality of the night before intrudes on the doctor s quiet domesticity. She wants him to pay but not in the way he thinks.

Janis Joplin sang, Freedom s just another word for nothin left to lose That has been the sad experience of too many people over 55 who have used their pension freedom to cash in their fund and then hand it over to plausible thieves. Many may not even know the money has gone until they try to use it in the future. Whatever the Chancellor does or does not change in his Budget, pension freedom will continue. If you are under 55, you cannot get access to your pension fund without paying more than half of it to HMRC in a tax penalty. Any scheme that says you can is out to defraud you. And it gets worse. HMRC has made it clear that even if you lose the lot it will still chase you for the penalty of 55 per cent of the sum transferred. Once you reach 55 you can access your fund. But always ask: is it sensible? Ring the Pensions Advisory Service first see below and watch out for the following warning signs. Any one of these is enough reason for you to say no. Golden rules to safeguard your pension BEWARE COLD CALLS If the offer comes through a cold call, text or , always assume it is a scam. Sadly, some regulated firms do cold-call people, but these are highly unlikely to offer value for money or good independent advice. 146 RadioTimes March 2016

157 Travel The real Jungle Book page 148 ILLUSTRATION BY MICHAEL SHEEHY; ALAMY SAY NO TO 8 PER CENT Any scheme that promises a return of eight per cent a year or more should always be rejected. Cautious advisers say any return of six per cent or more is unlikely to be realised. Most legitimate investments produce a lot less. SPREAD YOUR BETS Many dubious pension transfer schemes will want to put your money into one place accommodation, parking, storage units, wine, rainforests. It s never sensible to risk all your money in one place, especially one you don t know much about. CAREFUL ABROAD Be cautious about investing your pension abroad. Your money can vanish even more quickly outside the UK. Make sure your scheme is a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension (QROP). CHECK YOUR ADVISER Only use regulated independent financial advisers. You can check on the Financial Services Register at fca.org.uk/register. If you find the firm or individual listed, use the contact details to check the person making the offer is not an imposter. THERE IS NO RUSH No valid offer should come with an urgent time limit. Some may send paperwork by courier these will always be scams. They just want to get your money as quickly as they can. GET ADVICE Before you do anything, call the free, independent and excellent Pensions Advisory Service on , or go to pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk. They can go through your options and explain what is safe and what is not. Don t lose a lifetime s savings in a moment of carelessness. As Janis Joplin went on to say, Nothin ain t worth nothin. Paul Lewis presents Money Box on Saturdays on Radio 4 PENSION REVIEW OAPs are getting older State pension age is up in the air. A review that was supposed to be looking at how it might rise with growing life expectancy has been launched. But its new terms of reference make it clear that one factor to determine the pension age is cost. Can we afford not to raise the state pension age further? It will already be 68 by That may not be enough. The review will also look at variations between different groups. That could mean setting different ages for those who start work at 16 and those who leave it until after university at 21 or older. It could also allow people in postcodes or jobs where life expectancy is shorter to get their state pension earlier. The review will report next January, and the Government will announce its decision before 7 May Check your state pension age: gov.uk/state-pension-age. For more information, go to paullewismoney.blogspot.co.uk and search state pension age.

FINANCIAL WORRIES IN LATER LIFE Maybe you still have a mortgage to pay off, or an interest-only mortgage due to end shortly and have no way of paying it off. You may have credit card debts or a loan still to clear. Have you thought about how you will meet these monthly repayments? MEETING UNFORESEEN EXPENSES If a portion of monthly income is being used to service debt, this means there is less money to meet unexpected expenses. Furthermore, plans such as helping a relative onto the property ladder may be out of reach. YOUR HOME COULD HELP For millions of homeowners their most successful investment is their home, yet many don t realise they could tap into its value and access tax-free cash. With the average value of a house in the UK more than tripling over the past 20 years *, the key to your financial security in later life could lie in your bricks and mortar. ACCESS THE CASH IN YOUR HOME There are mortgages available to homeowners aged called equity release plans. A lifetime mortgage, the most popular type of plan, is secured against your home, just like a traditional mortgage. These plans allow you to access the cash locked in your home tax-free, to spend as you wish. Interest rates are fixed for the life of the loan, and there are typically no monthly payments to make, allowing you to enjoy your retirement without having to worry about how to fund it. Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits. Think carefully before securing debts against your home. INDEPENDENT ADVICE IS IMPORTANT If you are thinking about unlocking cash from your home, you should seek independent specialist advice. That s why we ve teamed up with Key Retirement, the UK s number-one independent equity release expert. This is an equity release plan. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Unless you decide to go ahead, Key s service is completely free of charge as Key s typical advice fee of 1.65% of the amount released would only be payable on completion of a plan. * Nationwide House Price Index 2015 To request your FREE RT guide, written by Paul Lewis, or to book a no-obligation consultation, call FREE on or visit radiotimes.com/equityrelease Lines are open Monday Thursday 9am 9.00pm, Friday 9am 5.30pm and Saturday 9am 1pm RadioTimes March

158 Travel YOUR RT We all know Kipling s jungle. Whether you first encountered it in the pages of his short stories, or found it in the 1942 film starring Sabu, or Disney s 1967 adaptation, you are no doubt familiar with its steamy layers of leaves, sun-warmed pools, ancient temples overrun by monkeys and creeping vines. It s the living backdrop for a cast of animal characters whose names are as familiar to us as childhood toys from the sleepy brown sloth bear Baloo to the fearsome tiger Shere Khan; the panther Bagheera, his voice soft as wild honey ; and the quixotic python Kaa. And of course it s home to Mowgli, the orphaned man-cub raised by wolves. With the possible exception of a resident wolfboy, the jungle so vividly described in Kipling s fiction does indeed exist but it was not a place the writer knew himself. The man who did so much to create the popular image of British India never visited the central region where his stories were set. Kipling borrowed his jungle from a fellow Brit Robert Armitage Sterndale, a district officer who published an account of his years spent living in the Satpura Range and enlivened it with his own imagination. Kipling s creatures can still be seen in Satpura National Park, in Madhya Pradesh, which derives its name from the same set of sprawling hills. The landscape that surrounds it echoes the one conjured in The Jungle Book dense forest is edged by hamlets like Nayapura, where villagers live in mud huts, colourful saris hanging from home-made washing lines. Inside the confines of the park itself, humans Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of a real Shere Khan The real Jungle Book Kipling never visited the jungle which inspired his classic but you can! are strictly observers. Guests prowl the rugged terrain in little 4x4s known by their model name, Gypsy, their local driverguides alert to any possible sightings. Langur monkeys, Kipling s Bandar-log (Hindi for monkey people ), gather in chattering crowds and are usually found with herds of sambar and spotted deer, with whom they have forged a friendship. Tucked away in the far corner of the park is a temple MAN-CUB AND FRIEND Mowgli (Neel Sethi) with Bagheera the panther in the new live-action version of The Jungle Book devoted to the deity Shiva and fallen to ruin, a dead ringer for King Louie s palace complete with intricate carvings of dancing figures, bael trees growing through its foundations and columns on the verge of collapse. Thought to be years old, it was built here by the Gond people, central India s largest tribe, who, before adopting Hinduism, practiced their own animist religion. They believed that non-human entities such as plants and animals possess a spiritual essence. 148 RadioTimes March 2016

159 Puzzles The Prize Crossword and more see page 153 Unlike the elusive tigers and leopards that also roam the forest, real-life Baloos are considerably easier to track down. They stumble noisily from the undergrowth, sometimes carrying cubs on their backs. The creature everyone wants to catch a glimpse of is what Kipling called the Big One, Shere Khan. Tadoba National Park, in the neighbouring state of Maharashtra, has the highest density of Bengal tigers in the country, and sightings are almost guaranteed. Tracking one down means enlisting the help of someone properly attuned to the rhythms of the jungle. A pair of binoculars around his neck, my guide Himanshu Bagde scanned the undergrowth from a 4x4 as it raced along Tadoba s dusty, pothole-ridden paths, bathing its occupants in a fine red mist. To track his quarry Himanshu listens for the alarm calls of big cat prey: the hoot of startled sambar deer or the distress call of a grey jungle fowl, squawking like a squeezed chicken. It was dawn and the forest was cool, the sun not yet fully penetrating the thick canopy of bamboo and teak. RT Travel INDIA WITH OPTIONAL SHIMLA EXTENSION The wondrous Taj Mahal TOURS ARE FULLY BONDED AND PROTECTED LEAFY CANOPY Reni Pani Camp in Satpura. Below, Shere Khan in Disney s 1967 animated adventre Roaming the forest, nature offers unexpected scenes of drama: spider webs the size of sheets that billow in the breeze like laundry, the slender tail of a retreating leopard, terrifying a wideeyed guar that crashes through the trees, huge horns ready for a fight. Stopping by the roadside to examine a set of fresh tracks, we were joined by a pair of fox-like dholes. Much rarer than tigers, in Kipling s stories these pack hunters are the jungle s most ferocious predators. The animal everyone seeks seems reluctant to be found, but on a final drive in Tadoba, suddenly there she was: a tigress called Maya. Peering out from the long grass, she gave the vehicle a cursory glance and altered course, creeping towards a watering hole. She padded silently, slipped into the black water with barely a ripple and swam past great green lily pads with her nose held high. Maya s name means illusion in Hindi, and it was indeed as though her appearance had distorted our senses. Our glimpse of her may have been over, but her image lingered in the mind: fusing with Kipling s fictional tiger, Shere Khan, until the two become one.

Sullivan was the first heavyweight champion of gloved boxing, and he did sport a pair of long woolly tights.

THE TOUGHEST BRAINTEASERS YOUR FAVOURITE TV SHOWS WHAT WE WATCHED MARCH In a look back at John Cleese s career, several of his contemporaries offered their memories of working with him, including Ronnie Corbett, his co-star in The Frost Report in John struck me at the time as a most pleasant, gentle and diligent man. His comic persona, all that rage and outrage, was something he turned on for effect Although he was somewhat shy and self-conscious, he had an air of superiority although as far as I m concerned all tall people do and I can honestly say that I looked up to him MARCH In spite of his hard-partying younger days, Frank Skinner is a devout Catholic, and discussed his decision to avoid religious programming on television. It s not religion really. It s people talking about wishy-washy social issues in a very dull way. Elsewhere, cover star Matt Smith took on the role of Christopher Isherwood, the author whose work inspired the Hollywood film Cabaret.

168 Feedback YOUR RT EDITED BY JANE HILL *CHECK DIGITAL RADIO AVAILABILITY IN YOUR AREA AT OR CALL ISTOCK LETTER OF THE WEEK All critters small and great For the first time ever I m moved to write to say thank you for a TV programme The Secret Life of the Zoo (C4). Of course, anything with animals is a hit, and since much of the series was about getting creatures to breed, the addition of cute baby animals couldn t fail. And I ve never heard copulation described in so many different ways and with such tact! But this series offered so much more. The keepers often turned into the stars of the show. It s easy to understand the joys of looking after elephants, chimps, penguins and meerkats, but tarantulas, toads and naked mole rats? Yet the keepers showed how much they enjoy their jobs and how committed they are to understanding the animals in their care, ensuring they have the best quality of life and preserving the species. We were members of Chester Zoo when my daughter was young; she s now a student, but neither of us missed an episode usually interspersed with live messaging as we shared our enjoyment. Congratulations to all involved. Alison Jones Shrewsbury, Shropshire Alison Jones wins an award-winning Evoke D2 portable DAB digital and FM radio. The radio has a walnut veneer casing, contemporary styling and the latest digital amplifier. It retails for (see THE DUNBLANE TRAGEDY I hadn t planned to watch the documentary Dunblane: Our Story (9 March BBC2) because I thought I d cry solidly for its duration. But in the end I felt it was the least I could do, to remember those who were so tragically killed. I was 17 and at college when it happened and it s only now that I m a mum that I can even begin to imagine what the families and all those affected went through. The programme was sensitively made and allowed the survivors and the families to be heard. I was in awe of their bravery and strength. Lessons were learnt, but through the most horrific of circumstances. Emma Brand Portsmouth, Hampshire A TV NATURAL As an avid fan of Bargain Hunt (weekdays BBC1), I was sad to learn of Tim Wonnacott s departure. His humour and knowledge have made the show hugely entertaining and informative, and he seemed irreplaceable. However, guest presenter Natasha Raskin has definitely changed my mind. Her lightness of touch, engaging voice and infectious smile make her a natural in front of the camera. Give her the job full-time! Brendan Hurley Preston, Lancashire Lindsay Bradbury, the BBC s commissioning editor, daytime, says: We re currently using a team of experts of SHE S A KEEPER Kirsten Wicks and meerkat pals at Chester Zoo whom Natasha is one to present a number of shows each and we plan to continue with this approach. Viewers will see more of Natasha as she returns in the coming weeks. SNOW BUSINESS Trapped (BBC4) was brilliantly authentic. We were in Siglufjordur a few weeks ago, staying in the same hotel bedroom where Andri chased the engineer! The scene outside was just the same: a whiteout, deep snow and menacing avalanche fences above the town to prevent a disaster like one that had happened some years ago. One difference, though: the Icelanders we met were warm, friendly and voluble! Hope they make another series as good as this. Brian Kings Cam, Gloucestershire MARR V BORIS As an idealistic 18-year-old, I voted yes to stay in the European Community in the referendum of 1975, but this time I ve yet to make up my mind and am keen to listen to both sides. I was therefore extremely irritated by Andrew Marr s treatment of Boris Johnson in his interview on The Andrew Marr Show (7 March BBC1). I normally have the greatest respect for Mr Marr as an interviewer, but this was poorly done. Boris clearly had interesting points to make, but Mr Marr ENGAGING Bargain Hunt s Natasha Raskin seemed determined to interrupt before Boris had a chance to argue his case. It wasn t as if Boris was avoiding giving a direct answer refreshingly, he was attempting to answer the questions put to him. I don t recall David Cameron being subjected to this treatment in the previous week s interview. Rosie Hawkyard Bournemouth, Dorset Rob Burley, editor of The Andrew Marr Show, replies: We set out to ask politicians important questions and give them space to answer. Interruptions are hard to avoid when an interviewee doesn t address a question directly. For example, Mr Johnson answered a question about the economic effect of leaving the EU with an answer about democracy. Comparisons have been made with our interview with the Prime Minister based on the number of interruptions. This is a crude measure that doesn t tell us anything about the reasons for the interruptions. Mr Johnson spoke a great deal in the 23-minute interview and while Andrew Marr did interrupt him a number of times, he only did so in pursuit of responses to questions we think voters want answering in the course of this campaign. SUPPORTING 5 LIVE Roger Mosey s Viewpoint (RT, 12 March) raises the alarming prospect of a severe cutback in Radio 5 Live, one of the glories of the BBC. I hope the corporation thinks long and hard before taking such action and remembers that relatively small cuts in TV output produce savings equal to major reductions in radio coverage. James Pringle Broadstairs, Kent HAPPY VALLEY HAPPY Alison Graham (RT, 5 March) expressed my exact thoughts regarding Happy Valley (BBC1). I ve been enthralled. Not one predictable moment. Sally Wainwright never disappoints. I wish to thank the BBC for the chance to watch this exceptional series. Paula Clark Dunstable, Bedfordshire 158

As often happens, the Devil gets the best lines (although Tom Hollander as Lance Corkoran runs him a close second). Hugh Laurie is a joy as Richard Roper, thoroughly enjoying himself as both an unrepentant arms dealer and loving father to his son, showing us, as author John le Carré does so well, the complexity of human nature. James Edgar Horley, Oxfordshire Turn over for more on The Night Manager. 7 1 /2 WEEKS My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Film 2016 (BBC1) but fail to understand why there were only seven editions. If Claudia Winkleman can t commit to a longer run, why can t they have guest presenters? Film-making goes on for more than seven weeks per year. Paul Wilson Little Canfield, Essex OUR KIND OF MUSIC What a wonderful series The Renaissance Unchained (BBC4) was. Waldemar Januszczak is always informative and entertaining and the soundtrack, by Simon Russell, was fantastic. From the opening bars we knew we were in for something special. The music reflected Waldemar s flamboyant presenting style. So often we switch off documentaries because of the dire background sound effects I can t bring myself to call it music! Simon s music in no way detracted from what we were seeing or what was being said, and even enhanced our viewing. Sandra and David Rann Fetcham, Surrey DOGS DELIGHT... How wonderful to have Gardeners World (Friday BBC2) back, with Monty Don giving us his expert advice. This year some comedy is thrown in as well, as Nigel romped in the background with new puppy Nellie. Hoping we see much more of them, as it really was a pleasure to see such lovely dogs having a great time behind Monty s back. Rosemary Pearce Felthorpe, Norfolk...AND DESPERATE DOGS Following Stewart Roberts s letter (Feedback, 5 March) about his dog being afraid of University Challenge, our Irish setter, Rufus, has been utterly petrified of this programme for years. He panics DOGGONE Paxo scares hounds and has even tried to dig his way out through the wall! Sophie Campbell Cookham, Berkshire My border collie, Bob, had a similar problem with University Challenge. For a long time he reacted instantly, running up the hall and barking at the front door. Now we have to mute the introductory music, but he still leaves the room as soon as he hears Jeremy Paxman s voice. John Neal Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire LET S HEAR THE TRAIN We were impressed by The Return of the Flying Scotsman (7 March BBC4). However, why did there need to be music when showing the locomotive in action? I m sure the majority of people would much rather hear the sound of the steam engine. Jennifer Samuel Holyport, Berkshire BRAIN FOOD The Brain with David Eagleman (BBC4) was a mind-boggling journey. He presented difficult neuroscience in an accessible way, with fun, wit and appropriate and understandable research and graphics. I feel as if I ve learnt so much about what makes us human the series covered subjects as diverse as genocide, cryonic suspension, Botox and addiction. Truly thought-provoking. Stephanie Percival Rushden, Northamptonshire BRILLIANT BRONTË I listened enthralled to Rachel Joyce s spellbinding dramatisation of Jane Eyre (Radio 4). Tom Burke and Amanda Hale brought to life with conviction the chemistry and passion of this Charlotte Brontë classic. Well done to all.

The Ink Factory, were full of ideas, but they gave us a lot of freedom and encouragement, he tells RT. The director, Susanne Bier, put it to us that she wanted to combine luxurious imagery with weaponry. I tried to give it an edge by turning to fashion references. Hopefully it s seductive, but also a bit sickening. I ve worked on documentaries that explore the ethics of warfare, and I m fascinated by that side of it. There s something really powerful in seeing these machines of death rendered in gilded luxury. So how many people were at work on the titles? An unusually small team a design team of five and excellently written and acted, Oxted Station is played by Kingscote on the Bluebell Railway. Brian Nobbs Sevenoaks, Kent HIDDEN LEN Holiday of My Lifetime with Len Goodman (weekdays BBC1) has been an utter delight, full of happy memories and nostalgia. It seems a shame for the series to be hidden in an afternoon slot where many people may miss it. David Lee Leigh-on- Sea, Essex an animation team of just three. And how long did it take to create what takes only about 45 seconds of screen time? We were working on it over a period of about three months the essence stayed the same, but the imagery evolved a great deal. You know that feeling when you ve eaten too much sugar? We tried to do that with colour, where everything is a little too saturated so you get that sickly, decadent feeling. It s a sequence I felt very lucky to get to work on. And from all reports the show is unfolding in a magnificent way. See also page 47 ACCIDENTAL SLIP? On the BBC1 ten o clock news on 7 March, when introducing a report about Volvo recruiting 100 drivers in Sweden to test driverless cars, Huw Edwards said that the tests were to assess their impact.

172 Your RT INSIDE THIS WEEK Books DEBORAH LEVY P144 Money PENSION SCAMS P146 Travel THE JUNGLE BOOK P148 Julie Walters Mrs Overall would love to have been Cagney or Lacey! What are your childhood TV memories? I loved Andy Pandy. I remember one day the narrator said, Look, there s a little girl there with her teddy, and I truly believed she was speaking to me! My mother wasn t in the room and I was holding my teddy. I will never forget that magical moment. Who do you find the funniest person on TV? Who s the boy who does the chat show with his father? I m hopeless with names. Jack Whitehall. I think he s really funny. Would you like to do more comedy? I ve done a lot of it in my time, so I don t have particular aspirations. If something great came up, then yes, but it depends on what it is and who s doing it. I do feel that if you haven t got a sense of humour, then life must be so hard. Do people most remember you for your comedy roles? Comedy does touch people. The other day, on set for Indian Summers, I had to go into a scene holding a tray and everybody laughed and said, This must QUICKFIRE Q&A 1 Radio 4 or Radio 2? 2 The Only Way Is Essex or Made in Chelsea? I ve caught Made in Chelsea occasionally. 3 Pointless or Countdown? 4 Paul Hollywood or John Torode? Difficult, because I like both of them, but I think I d go for Paul. 5 This Morning or Loose Women? haunt you And it does a bit, but what a great thing. Mrs Overall [in Acorn Antiques] is probably my favourite character. I immediately ed Vic [Victoria Wood] to say, I ve just had to enter with a tray about 600 times! When was the last time that you cried over a TV programme? Yesterday, watching some awful rubbish. Some American TV film. But I m not the sort of person who cries easily. I wish I was! If a script demands you cry, it s hard. If you had to pick one reality show to do, which would it be? The one that makes me think, I could do that, is always I m a Celebrity Of course, I d never do it because of the spiders, but the thought of overcoming fear is quite interesting to me. But I m too old now. It would be a toss-up between that and Strictly Come Dancing, but I couldn t bear Craig Revel Horwood telling me, Stand up, dear! because of my posture. What would your career Plan B have been? If things had started to fall away, I think I would have liked to have written. I ve written my autobiography, and a novel, and I probably will write something again as I get older. Which TV show would you get rid of? Oh, I wouldn t. Even if I don t like something, someone else does. I wouldn t want to ruin anyone s fun. If you could be a character from a TV show of the past, who would you be? Cagney or Lacey! A bit of guntoting, brilliant. What s your guilty TV pleasure? I don t know if it s guilty, but I do love Bake Off and MasterChef. Do you enjoy filming Indian Summers in Malaysia? It s been one of my favourite jobs. It s an adventure. The first year especially, it was like a holiday. They treat us very well. And I love my character Cynthia because she s not defined by age. She s 65, like I am, but she s not an old lady.
