DIY SOS: THE BIG BUILD
BBC1, 8pm
IT’S all hands on deck to build a home for another family under pressure, in another extremely emotional episode.
Life for the Owen family, from Longframlington, Northumberland, has been fraught with difficulty.
Their 18-year-old daughter Bobbie has severe learning difficulties complicated by epilepsy and needs constant care. Bobbie’s twin brother Gus and older sister Ellie have grown up as carers.
Mum Mary struggles with fatigue and balance since contracting Lyme disease after being bitten by a tick and having a stroke.
Gran Carol had been helping but now has to care for great-gran Doreen, who has early-stage dementia, meaning dad Gareth has had to retire early from his job as a firefighter.
To reunite the four generations – and make their home safe enough for Bobbie not to be moved to a care home – Nick and the team are drafted in.
Gareth says: “It’s terrifying the thought that Bobbie would go away. She’d just be in a state of fear.” The results are, as ever, jaw-dropping.
THE BLACK DEATH: LUCY WORSLEY INVESTIGATES
BBC2, 9pm
ONE of the most dramatic and brutal chapters in British history, as a plague swept across the nation…
This is actually extremely relatable but Lucy Worsley is in fact talking about the Black Death of 1348, the first and the worst outbreak, when half the population was wiped out.
She wants to find out how this terrible medieval pandemic transformed society.
She says: “I’m going to uncover forgotten witnesses, re-examine old evidence and follow new clues to get closer to the truth.”
After all this time, science is still uncovering new evidence. A vast plague pit was uncovered in Smithfield, London, in the 80s.
The find revealed the bones of hundreds of victims of the 14th-century plague, and the identification of a bacteria.
Lucy also discovers a rare and remarkable set of documents, providing a perfect microcosm of life before, during and after the pandemic. And how the unfolding apocalypse increased people’s faith in God.
BAKE OFF: THE PROFESSIONALS
C4, 8pm
STACEY Solomon is exactly what this posh, upper-crust baking show needed.
The new co-host says exactly what we’re all thinking.
After judge Benoit Blin challenges the five teams to make savoury slices, she wants to know what they are.
“Is a savoury slice like a Cornish pasty?” she suggests. No, more like a sandwich, reveals Benoit. “It’s a sandwich? Why didn’t you just say sandwich?” she scolds.
“Well it’s more like a terrine,” offers one chef. “We didn’t have mini terrines back in Dagenham when I grew up,” she says.
The teams must make 24 identical “terrine sandwich slices”, as well as 24 identical crepe cakes for Cherish Finden. “Please do not disappoint me or my ruler,” snaps Cherish.
Meanwhile, Stacey questions her hearing after the talk of crepe cakes.
“I hope it tastes better than it looks,” is one of Cherish’s reviews.
In the second challenge, the teams must make 160 choux buns to create a Greatest Sporting Moments-themed piece montee (a patisserie tower to the rest of us) – and they only have five hours to do it.
The judges expect it to be highly decorated too. “Anything less and you will make me feel sad,” says Cherish.
If the teams can make it to the finish line, then they may be able to make it through to the next round.
The team that falls behind at this hurdle will unfortunately be leaving the competition.
