HAMLET: ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY

9PM, BBC4 ★★★★ This 2016 production moves the story to an African military state, and gives the tragedy a fresh sense of energy. Paapa Essiedu makes for a lively, indecisive and fundamentally likeable Hamlet (left), who expresses his frustrations with the state through graffiti in one of many little twists.

NATURAL HISTORIES

6.35AM, RADIO 4 HHH Dragonflies are nature’s dazzlers. Their iridescent or metallic colours, and the way they dart and hover, catch the eye and take the breath away. There is something otherworldly about these insects, earning them strange names such as ‘water witch’ and ‘the Devil’s darning needle’. Ruary Mackenzie Dodds, who has been fascinated by dragonflies since he was a child, shares his dragonfly passion.

EASTENDERS: SECRETS FROM THE SQUARE

8PM, BBC1 ★★★★ Eastenders went off air for the first time since 1985 last week and, with filming resuming at the end of June, we won’t see new episodes for a while.

So, to fill the gap, the BBC presents this new insider series helmed by Stacey Dooley. Tonight, Stacey talks to Mick and Linda (Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright, right), whose stories on the show have been so strong since Christmas, particularly Bright’s portrayal of alcoholism. There are plenty of fun asides, including an audition tale from Bright, and Dyer’s best ‘doof doof’ face.

DEVON AND CORNWALL

8PM, CH4 ★★★

You meet some fascinating people in this series. Tonight, we are introduced to Mike and Greg, the only father-and-son master wheelwrights in the world, who can trace the trade in their family back to 1331. Mike is 82, and works exclusively in imperial measurements because he has no time for ‘damned French millimetres’.

INSIDE MONACO: PLAYGROUND OF THE RICH

9PM, BBC2 ★★★★

There’s more of the glamour in this final part – yachts, dresses, champagne for dogs (‘chienpagne’) – before we get to the more interesting subject of what life is like for the minority Monegasque citizens, whose rent is subsidised by the state because of the sky-high property prices in this tiny land.

COMEDIANS: HOME ALONE

10PM, BBC2 ★★★ One highlight of this week’s sketches is Tom Allen, who is reluctantly coming to terms with the shift from smart to casual brought on by living at home – he’s started wearing brogues instead of Oxfords. Also fun is a tense, Richard and Judy-style segment from Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar. ROBIN WIGGS

PERRY MASON

9PM, SKY ATLANTIC ★★★★

Perry is a grimy private eye during the Great Depression in HBO’S noirish eight-part prequel, which feels like Boardwalk Empire, with fewer gangsters. Matthew Rhys really holds your attention as Perry (left), a war veteran with a noble soul, ravaged by a hard life and way too much booze.

The film-maker Iain Cunningham was told that his mother, Irene (left), fell into a coma and died, but this was not the case. For this quietly powerful and well-told new documentary, he talks to Irene’s friends and family – and to his reluctant father – to slowly uncover the truth. (Sky 114, Virgin 277) RW
