ASTRONAUT’S TALE The Last Man On The Moon, 9pm, BBC4

TWO contenders are standing out in the latest series of this enjoyably ridiculous challenge show.

THE comic Jon Richardson ranks his worries in order of severity for this new series.

PRINCELY PAIR William And Harry: Brothers In Arms, 10pm, Really

THE sickly voice-over aside, this new one-off documentar­y is worth watching for the sweet footage of Harry and William as children and the odd interestin­g anecdote. Ex-royal butler Paul Burrell recalls that Harry ‘would take apart the TV and have the video recorder in bits’.
