BEST OF THE REST

STRICTLY: IT TAKES TWO BBC1, 5.15PM

WITH the first live show under our belts, the Strictly mega machine really gets going now, with this spin-off starting on weekdays.

It promises backstage gossip, celebrity guests, analysis of every dance move and some super fandom.

Strictly addict Rylan Clark-Neal, pictured with Zoe Ball, hosts the show on Mondays and Tuesdays, with radio DJ Zoe Ball taking over on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The two will join forces on Fridays to present an hour-long special filmed in front of a live audience.

Over the course of the week, you can expect to see pro dancer Ian Waite offering expert opinion in Waite’s Warm Up, while Gethin Jones is a roving reporter, giving us a sneak peek of all the action at Elstree Studios.

Zoe is looking forward to her and Rylan being a “new telly husband and wife”.

Rylan says: “Literally it will be the easiest job I’ll ever do. I can just sit there and look at Zoe. She’s a pro!”

THE $50M ART SWINDLE

BBC2, 9PM

IN this extraordinary film, acclaimed director Vanessa Engle has tracked down a charlatan art dealer who has been on the run for 16 years.

Michel Cohen, pictured, swindled more than $50 million through his art dealing, in one of the world’s biggest ever thefts.

Throughout the 1990s he sold paintings by the likes of Picasso, Monet and Chagall to America’s wealthiest elite. And he lived the high life until he began trading recklessly, ran up debts and decided to con collectors, auction houses and dealers.

When this was discovered, he went on the run with his family until he was discovered in 2003 and imprisoned.

Seven months later, whilst awaiting extradition to America, he escaped and vanished off the face of the Earth. Until now.

Vanessa has him sitting down with a mug of coffee for an extraordinary interview as she challenges him on his Hollywood movie-worthy story of greed and motive.
