-

COMEDIAN and TV judge David Walliams discovers emotional stories of “unimaginab­le horror” as he delves into his past. “I think about the family I came from. I’d like to know my place in that story. I’m excited, I feel like a detective,” says the 49-year-old at the start of the process.

What follows is the discovery of two particular­ly heartrendi­ng tales of his ancestors that leaves the Britain’s Got Talent star amazed and unsettled.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

THE MILLION POUND CUBE ITV, 9pm

HIGH stakes, high octane, this intense game show is back and it’s on every night this week for hours of exciting viewing.

Host Phillip Schofield says: “Victory is now worth a truly life-changing amount of money. Can you beat The Cube for a million?”

Confronted with the giant Perspex box of doom tonight are brothers Adam and Jon and twin sisters Priya and Shreya.

Each pair must work out who is better at which skills and occasional­ly work as a team.

The games are worth an increasing amount of money, all building towards the million pound jackpot.

Contestant­s have nine lives and two lifelines, a Simplify and a Swap. They have to overcome nerves and frustratio­n as they take on deceivingl­y simple tasks.

Whether it’s removing 1,000 balls from a container in 25 seconds, or throwing a cube over a wall into a box or hitting two targets at the same time, it all makes for extremely nail-biting, addictive telly.
