CATCH-UP TV
DRAMA
London Spy BBC iPLAYER This has been a gripping espionage drama, not least because of Ben Whishaw’s subtle performance in the lead. It concludes on Monday at 9pm on BBC2, so here’s a chance to catch up with earlier twists in Danny’s investigation into his lover’s death – which took a vital turn last week…
Suspects DEMAND 5 Now well into its fourth series, the semiimprovised British police drama continues to deliver compelling mysteries. Last week, the team reopened an old investigation when a newly released prisoner became the victim of a crime that was very similar to the one for which he was sent to prison in the first place.
COMEDY
Catastrophe ALL 4 New parents Sharon (Sharon Horgan) and Rob (Rob Delaney) found their relationship on shaky ground by the end of series two of this well-observed but often very mucky comedy, which concluded last week.
Citizen Khan BBC iPLAYER Adil Ray’s series has been divisive, but it is at heart, a sitcom cast in the traditional mould – about a hapless, deluded family man who frequently gets it wrong.
DOCUMENTARY
Last Flight Of The Vulcan Bomber ALL 4 Guy Martin helps to prepare the last airworthy Vulcan bomber for its final tour of Britain. The story of this imposing craft is a fascinating one, and Martin’s enthusiasm for it is infectious. What A Performance! BBC iPLAYER Frank Skinner and Suzy Klein explore pre-TV popular entertainment for this merry BBC4 series, and even try their hands at performing. The first episode focuses on music-hall legend Marie Lloyd and the ‘grandfather of stand-up’, Dan Leno.
CHILDREN
Jamillah And Aladdin BBC iPLAYER CBBC’s fun new take on Aladdin kicks off with a double bill in which Jamillah is propelled from present-day London to ancient Baghdad, where she meets Aladdin – and a hapless genie.
LAST CHANCE
Lewis ITV PLAYER See the final appearance of Kevin Whately as the detective who was first introduced as Morse’s sidekick. It’s also the swan song for Lewis’s protege, Hathaway (Laurence Fox). Until Friday.
