PICK OF THE DAY

Requiem

9PM, BBC1

Spooky six-part supernatural drama about high-flying young cellist Matilda Gray (Lydia Wilson), who is about to embark on a concert tour of New York with her pianist, Harlan Fine (Joel Fry), when, out of the blue, her mother commits suicide. Distraught, Matilda finds a box in her mother’s flat; it contains items relating to a child called Carys Howell, who went missing from Penllynith, a small Welsh village, in 1994. But what was her mother’s interest in Carys? And could her suicide be related? Matilda and Harlan head for Wales to find out.

The Wine Show

7PM, CH5

As the enjoyably educational series continues, wine buffs Matthew Goode and James Purefoy (see below) tour the stunning French region of Burgundy, seeking out a wine that has enough gravitas to accompany the main course – coq au vin – of their epic lunch. Will Jancis Robinson be impressed with their finds?

Room 101

8.30PM, BBC1

This week, comedian Jimmy Carr, Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat and presenter Rochelle Humes compete to persuade Frank Skinner to consign their pet hates to oblivion. Who dislikes sandy beaches? Who doesn’t care for other people’s opinions? And who thinks being Scottish is just the worst thing ever?

Nigel Slater’s Middle East

9PM, BBC2

Nigel Slater turns culinary globetrotter, travelling around the Middle East to explore some of the world’s oldest cuisines. He begins in Lebanon, where he marvels at the resilience of the country and its people, and samples recipes that have been passed down through generations.
