SMALL AXE: RED, WHITE AND BLUE

9PM, BBC1 ★★★★★

John Boyega (right) plays Leroy Logan in this powerful biographical drama about the future superintendent’s early career with London’s Metropolitan Police. Joining the force in the 1980s to ‘bridge the gap’, Leroy faced disapproval from his own father, who had been brutally beaten by two police officers. Called a traitor by his own community, he found that his beat colleagues didn’t have his back, either. With strength and dignity, Leroy would face and continue his fight against injustice – from the inside.

ESCAPE TO BARBADOS

6PM, CH4 ★★★★

After its tourist economy took a dive during the pandemic, Barbados came up with a novel solution. Try not to be too envious of the British families featured here, who took advantage of the ‘welcome stamp’ scheme and swapped working from home in drizzly Britain to living and working in the sunny Caribbean.

ESCAPE TO THE CHATEAU

8PM, CH4 ★★★★

Dick and Angel Strawbridge’s beautiful chateau is the gift that keeps on giving – despite six years of almost continuous renovation and transformation, new possibilities abound. This week, Angel is beside herself at the prospect of turning a huge trench into a swimming pool – but Dick can’t quite match her enthusiasm.

DICK EMERY’S COMEDY GOLD

9.40PM, CH5 ★★★★ During the bleak years of the 1970s, Dick Emery’s cast of countless silly and outrageous characters had the nation in stitches. This warm-hearted film looks back on an inventive and infinitely versatile comic performer who helped to invent the sketch show as we know it today, but who has somehow been left behind. SA

A former supermodel is murdered during a comic convention. Bill Bailey guest stars. 9.00 Vera An extreme sports fan plunges

from a cliff in a ball of flames.

11.00 The Loch Laura Fraser stars.
