TALKING HEADS

9PM, BBC1 ★★★★★

Alan Bennett’s series of masterly monologues have been remade with a new cast of great British acting talent – and although they were first performed 32 years ago, they have aged remarkably well. There are 12 in total, including two new ones, all of which will be available after the end of the first episode. Tonight’s double bill begins with A Lady Of Letters, featuring Imelda Staunton in the chair, followed by An Ordinary Woman, with Sarah Lancashire (right). On Thursday, it’s the turn of Harriet Walter in Soldiering On (7.30pm). Not to be missed.

BAKE OFF: THE PROFESSIONALS

8PM, CH4 ★★★★

First, the five teams must make 24 perfect and identical layered vegetable cake slices and tomato-shaped desserts, which must taste of anything but. Then, it’s time for an allotment-themed basket made from at least 160 choux buns – and the judges’ forks are waiting to dig in!

THE CHOIR: SINGING FOR BRITAIN

9PM, BBC2 ★★★★ Gareth Malone, looking a little more unkempt than usual, is in lockdown, but that’s not going to stop him from bringing the nation together through the power of music. Tonight, in the first of a three-part series, he works with frontline staff, using their experiences to create a snapshot of these unprecedented times.

24 HOURS IN A&E

9PM, CH4 ★★★★

Filippo, 86, has suffered a suspected stroke; Susan, who’s 80, has fallen and sustained an open fracture to her leg; and 14-year-old

Tilly has hurt her ankle while doing gymnastics. Luckily, all three have the strength and support of their loved ones to help them through their treatment. MIKE MULVIHILL

MYSTIC BRITAIN

8PM, SMITHSONIAN ★★★

The only solid thing we seem to know about the druids is that, in around 57 AD, the Romans killed an awful lot of them at their sacred home of Anglesey. Here, Clive Anderson and Mary-ann Ochota (left) try to draw us a fuller picture. (Freeview 57, Freesat 175, Sky 173, Virgin 276)

HIDDEN KILLERS OF THE EDWARDIAN HOME

8PM, BBC4 ★★★★

Baldness, blindness, madness – such were the risks of Edwardian make-up. And, as Suzannah Lipscomb’s (left) entertaining documentary explains, there were plenty more dangers lying in wait elsewhere in the home, including radium paint and asbestos.

ARCHITECTURE THE RAILWAYS BUILT

8PM, YESTERDAY ★★★ This pleasant tour arrives at the world’s first-ever steam-powered passenger line, in County Durham. Tim Dunn (left) also visits the Chappel Viaduct – which dates to the 1840s, the ‘golden age of railway viaducts’ – and the wartime pillboxes that sit between its arches.

INSECURE

9PM, SKY COMEDY ★★★★

The great strength of Issa Rae’s returning LA comedy of relationships is how low-key and believable it feels. In the new, fourth season, Issa (left) is excited to be working on an event with a woman she admires, only to learn that this impressive friend is also dating her ex, which leads to awkwardness.

9-1-1

9PM, SKY WITNESS ★★★ Ryan Murphy’s drama has always been full-throttle, but it’s found a higher gear in season three, which opened with a tsunami hitting LA and continues tonight with parents chaining up their children in the cellar at Halloween.

The emergency services, including the recently reinstated Buck (Oliver Stark, left), have their work cut out.

PLANE RECLAIMERS

9PM, QUEST ★★★

We get a thorough insight into the logistics of plane recycling tonight when a 737 is delayed by bad weather on its way to St Athan, and costs start to mount. When it does eventually land, the pilot is sad to say goodbye to his plane, but is pleased she’ll be ‘giving parts to other aircraft worldwide’. RW
