Satellite choice
GOLF The Irish Open, 1pm, Sky Golf & Main Event
THE Open champion Shane Lowry will be teeing off at the Galgorm Castle Club, aiming to reclaim the title he won as an amateur in 2009.
FAMILY ANIMATION Brightheart 2: Firefly Action Brigade, Sky Store/Virgin Movies
COLOURFUL and entirely undemanding children’s animation about a noble gang of insects and invading aliens. There is an amusing vein in here about moths and lights, but this is mostly best left to a very young audience.
JOLLY COMEDY Blandings, BritBox
TIMOTHY SPALL and Jennifer Saunders star in this merry P.G. Wodehouse comedy about the batty inhabitants of Blandings Castle. All 13 episodes of the BBC series are available from today on the subscription service.
ECO HERO Blue Peter, 5.30pm, CBBC
THE green badge is awarded to children who help the environment, and, this week, three proud winners interview Sir David Attenborough. He’s there to talk about his new film, A Life On Our Planet, which will be in cinemas from next Monday and on Netflix from October 4.
RED ARMY Adolf Hitler’s War, 8pm, Yesterday
AS THIS history of the Nazi drive into the USSR continues, Adolf Hitler splits his forces into two as a result of early success. As they arrived at the banks of the Volga, Stalin’s reserve of one million men — of whom the Nazis were unaware — arrived, accompanied by a 90-strong band.
SILVER SCREEN World War II & Cinema, 8pm, Sky Arts
MOVIES had come of age when World War II began, and this new series explores the films of the time. Cinemas provided a great escape from the horrors of war, and movies were made to boost morale; they could also satirise, like Charlie
Chaplin’s The Great Dictator.
DIFFERENT LIVES Rich Kids, Skint Holiday, 9pm, 5Star
ROUMAISSA (pictured) is the first well-off youth bound for a reality check as this series returns. The 19-year-old usually spends hundreds a week on ‘fine dining’, so what will she make of a trip to a caravan in Norfolk with the Cope family, eating homemade spag bol? The results are sweeter than you might expect.
LONDON CRIME Public Eye, 9pm, Talking Pictures TV
ALFRED BURKE is the star of this offbeat twist on the private eye genre, shown on ITV between 1965 and 1975. Frank (Burke) is shabby and uninspiring to look at, very far from your usual hero, and almost like something out of noir. In this case from 1969, he makes an uncomfortable career move.
SURVIVAL SKILLS Ed Stafford: First Man Out, 9pm, Discovery
THE ex-British Army man returns for a new series of pitting his survival skills against his peers. Ed’s first opponent this time around was once his teacher — prehistoric survival skills specialist Will Lord (pictured with Stafford), who looks like he’s just walked out of the caveman display at the Natural History Museum.
FILM FRIGHTS Sweetheart, 10.15pm, Sky Premiere
GRIPPING horror following a woman (Kiersey Clemons) who washes up on a desert island. As she collects supplies to help her to survive, it becomes clear that she is not alone.
