EGYPT’S GREAT PYRAMID: THE NEW EVIDENCE Today, 9pm - More 4 MORE than 4,500 years after it appeared, historians and archaeologists are still puzzled as to how the giant tomb at Giza was actually designed and built. This documentary apparently sheds some light on the mystery after a relic belonging to the pharaoh Khufu was discovered in the base of the pyramid. It is a ceremonial boat laid out in flatpack style and, according to one theory, may explain the part played by ships and water in the construction process. INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Today, 9.20pm - RTÉ2 QUENTIN Tarantino may be one of the greatest chancers of our times. I can sum up Reservoir Dogs in three words: Emperor’s New Clothes. To be fair, though, this 2009 war film starring Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender is good, though that doesn’t excuse the other dross. PANORAMA Monday, 8.30pm - BBC1 SAY what you like about the current President of the United States of America, but Donald Trump can’t be accused of being dull. This special – called Trump Voters: One Year On – goes to Florida, Texas, Wyoming and Michigan to see what the great man’s faithful think of him now. ‘With so much promised’, says the programme blurb, ‘Panorama asks whether his supporters would vote for him
again’. HITS, HYPE AND HUSTLE: AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO THE MUSIC BUSINESS Friday, 9pm - BBC4 EMMA Banks, who has worked with Kanye West, Katy Perry and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, looks in this first episode in this threepart series ‘at how the music business finds talent and creates superstars’. Contributors include Martha Reeves (of the Vandellas), pictured, Blur’s Alex James and legendary record company executive Clive Davis.
