ALAN BENNETT’S TALKING HEADS

Tuesday, BBC1, 9pm

CREATING any drama during lockdown has been a challenge, but one beloved series from years gone by seems custom-made for 2020.

With some of the best acting talent around, including Killing Eve star Jodie Comer, Mum’s Lesley Manville, Military Wives’ Kristin Scott Thomas and Hobbit veteran Martin Freeman, now is the chance to see these minimalist­ic tales revamped for a new generation.

In the first of a double bill, Imelda Staunton performs A Lady of Letters, the tale of a woman who compulsive­ly spies

on her neighbours, followed by An Ordinary Woman, the story of a mother who finds herself developing incestuous desires for her own 15-year-old son. Sarah Lancashire stars.

THE SCHOOL THAT TRIED TO END RACISM

Thursday, Channel 4, 9pm

THIS new series follows members of a British school as they try to help its students uncover and eradicate hidden racial biases. A class of 11-to 12-year-olds takes part in activities designed to challenge everything they thought they knew about race.

In episode one, the students are tested for racial bias and split into different work groups according to their skin colour.

Cameras follow a white British

student and his black Caribbean best friend who are stunned to discover the level of unconsciou­s bias they carry.

THE GLASTONBUR­Y EXPERIENCE LIVE

Friday, BBC2, 8.30pm

THIS is a big year for one of the world’s best loved music concerts, but like so many annual events, the Glastonbur­y Festival has also been put on hold because of you know what.

With so much archive footage, there’s little wonder festival regulars Jo Whiley and Mark Radcliffe are on hand to introduce some of the best bits such as previously unseen or rarely shown moments.

It’s the next best thing to being at the (hypothetic­al) 50th anniversar­y festival.
