PICK OF THE DAY

The Yorkshire Steam Railway: All Aboard

8PM, CH5 Winding its way through some of England’s most stunning scenery, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is Britain’s busiest steam railway. Each year, half a million people buy a ticket to travel back in time to the golden age of steam. This charming new series meets the people devoted to keeping the railway on track, including Paul ‘Piglet’ Middleton, Chris Price and Kieran Murray (right). In this episode, the team kick off the new season by welcoming a glossy VIP guest from London – celebrity steam engine Royal Scot, a true star attraction.

Room 101

8.30PM, BBC1 A hilariously vitriolic edition this week as Stephen Mangan, Phil Wang and Holly Walsh try to persuade Frank Skinner to banish their pet hates.

Who regards Tom Hiddleston as surplus to requirements? Who thinks married women should stick with their maiden names? And who dares to pour venom on The Archers?

Requiem

9PM, BBC1 In the fourth episode of six, Matilda battles the feeling that ‘something bad is going to happen… like it’s coming,’ while her blackouts go from bad to worse. And how did she get that painful, vivid red rash on her neck? Meanwhile, Laura claims to know vital details about Carys’s disappearance, but is she telling the truth?

Cruising With Jane McDonald

9PM, CH5 In the final episode of the series, Jane ventures into the American Deep South, sailing along the Mississippi on board the world’s largest steamboat, the American Queen. A glorious and glamorous floating homage to a bygone era, its authentic decor leaves crooning cruiser Jane at a loss for words.
