Six highlights for what ever mood you’re in
IF YOU WANT REMEMBRANCE... VJDAY75 SATURDAY, 9.30AM, 8.30PM, BBC1
Following this morning’s live service commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the evening event – narrated by Joanna Lumley – features music, readings and a special tribute to Vera Lynn (right), with the Duke of Cambridge honouring those who served in the Far East.
IF YOU WANT A GRAND FINALE... DOWNTON ABBEY SUNDAY, 8PM, ITV
On Christmas Day in 2015, more than 11 million people tuned in to see this last-ever episode of the drama, which brought both upstairs and downstairs stories to a close in satisfying style. While Edith and Bertie (right) tie the knot, Anna and Bates welcome a son, and the Crawleys and their staff see in 1926.
IF YOU WANT CONSERVATION... ANIMAL PARK MONDAY-FRIDAY, 10AM, BBC1
Every weekday morning over the next three weeks, Ben Fogle and Kate Humble (right) bring us stories of the exotic animals at Longleat Safari Park. In the first episode, the park goes into lockdown – but as restrictions ease, Kate reunites with growing tiger cubs, and Ben makes sure the sea lions don’t get bored.
IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY... SUPERSHOPPERS MONDAY, 8PM, CH4
Helen Skelton and Sabrina Grant (right) return with a new series of thrifty tips, this week looking at holidays. They show you how to save on a last-minute UK break – and not lose out if something goes wrong – and, looking ahead to next year, how to get the most for your money when booking a trip abroad.
IF YOU WANT DYNASTIES... EMMERDALE FAMILY TREE THURSDAY, 7PM, ITV
As new episodes of our favourite soaps return, there are still plenty of specials to enjoy. This new series looks back over the generations of the Tates, the Sugdens and first, the Dingles – patriarch Zak (Steve Halliwell, right, with Denise Black as Joanie), his wives and children.
IF YOU WANT COMEDY... LIVE AT THE APOLLO THURSDAY, 9PM, BBC2
The stand-up showcase has been on the air since 2004, and this new, six-part themed compilation series draws on a rich archive of performances. This week, Sarah Millican, John Bishop (right), Ellie Taylor, Ed Byrne, Phil Wang and more share their thoughts on relationships – expect some strong language.
