Fans of the radio sitcom character Ed Reardon will be intrigued by this dramatisation of George Gissing’s Victorian novel, which gave Ed his name. New Grub Street is both a satire and a tragedy, and tells the story of a group of writers who are living through a boom time for the printed word. Sensational journalism and popular novels bring their riches, but only to some. One of those lucky ones is Jasper Milvain, who, as his name suggests, has something of the cad about him.

DIY SOS: THE BIG BUILD
8PM, BBC1 ★★★★
The family featured this week are in dire need of help from Nick Knowles and his team. Stephen and Lynn Smedley, from Cornwall, had spent 15 years fostering more than 100 children of all ages, and were looking forward to a relaxing retirement; then, in 2017, their daughter died suddenly. Now, her three sons live with their grandparents, squeezed into a small room with a triple bunkbed. Thankfully, hundreds of volunteers (right, with Nick, his team and the Smedleys) are on hand to turn this loving family’s bungalow into a very special home.
SAVING BRITAIN’S PUBS WITH TOM KERRIDGE
8PM, BBC2 ★★★★
In the final part of Tom’s once hopeful series, pubs are forced to shut by the government, and this could spell disaster for the four he was helping. It’s quite an emotional watch as Tom tries to keep his own business afloat, while he shows us how some are diversifying. But he’s heard very little from one…
