NEW ELIZABETHANS WITH ANDREW MARR
9PM, BBC2 ★★★★ Elizabeth II has been on the throne for 68 years, making her our longest-serving monarch. She was only 25 when she began her reign in 1952, and society has altered drastically since then. In this fascinating new series, Andrew Marr (right) examines how notable people have shaped Britain during her reign. In part one, he looks at the highs and lows of our change from a rigid society to a more inclusive one, taking in Nancy Mitford’s iconic class guide, transgender journalist Jan Morris, the tragic case of Ruth Ellis and the actress Diana Dors.
DIY SOS: THE BIG BUILD
8PM, BBC1 ★★★★
Cat and Chris Sweet from Weston-super-mare have three children, who all suffer with debilitating conditions. Their home simply isn’t safe or practical any more – the children use wheelchairs – and is making life a struggle, despite their parents doing all they can. But never fear, Nick Knowles and co are here.
HIGH SOCIETY (1956) U
8PM, BBC4 ★★★★★
Grace Kelly is the spoilt socialite who’s about to marry a boring gent, but first has to deal with the attentions of her ex-husband (Bing Crosby) and a reporter (Frank Sinatra). A wonderful musical remake of The Philadelphia Story, with a stack of Cole Porter songs. See Classic Film Choice, page 23.
TARRANT ON THE AFRICAN EXPRESS
8PM, CH5 ★★★★
He’s fast becoming a railway connoisseur, and here, Chris Tarrant is heading to Africa to experience a route known as the ‘Lunatic Line’ – which is appropriate when you hear of the hardships, including flesh-eating insects, endured by those who built it. He starts his trip in Mombasa, Kenya.
CELEBRITY CRYSTAL MAZE
10PM, CH4 ★★★
The fun game show returns with a bang as the first team, led by TV presenter Laura Whitmore, break Maze records left, right and centre. Helping Laura are comedian Chris Ramsey, Diversity dancers Perri Kiely and Jordan Banjo, as well as former rugby ace Gareth Thomas. Richard Ayoade hosts. TESSA JONES

THE LADY VANISHES
8PM, DRAMA ★★★
This 2013 BBC adaptation isn’t the equal of the Hitchcock classic, but, taken on its own terms as a period thriller, it’s fun to watch. Tuppence Middleton (left, with Tom Hughes) is Iris Carr, the train passenger headed for strange places; Keeley Hawes and Julian Rhind-tutt co-star.

LA’S FINEST
9PM, FOX ★★★ This Bad Boys spin-off followed Syd (Gabrielle Union, left) – the sister of Martin Lawrence’s character, Marcus, in the films – from Miami to the LAPD, where she partnered up with Nancy (Jessica Alba). This finale features lots of talking before a big blast of action at the end, complete with classic Bad Boys camerawork.
COMEDY LEGENDS
9PM, SKY ARTS ★★★
Alastair Sim (left) could inject a wonderfully dark edge into his performances, which explains why his Scrooge has endured so well, and why his comedy roles always had an extra bite. Here, Barry Cryer looks back on Sim’s career in the St Trinian’s series, School For Scoundrels and more.
LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT
9PM, 5 USA ★★★★
Tonight’s new-to-freeview case deals with the death of an elusive young author with lots of money and a secret. The case leads Benson (Mariska Hargitay, left) and co to a pair of grumpy brothers, played in hugely entertaining style by acting veterans Judd Hirsch and Wallace Shawn.
WHAT A PICTURE: MARY WHITEHOUSE
11.20PM, BBC4 ★★★ Mary Whitehouse (left) was a crusader for moral standards on TV for years, and once described Doctor Who as ‘teatime brutality for tots’. She has no single equivalent today. Here, in an interview show from 1983, she sits down with Morgan Cross to reminisce with old photo albums. RW

of the black-and-white screen, Mae West had been big on the stage. She put on spectacular shows full of near-the-knuckle dialogue, and defied segregation by including black performers in her troupe.
