THIS WEEK’S BEST FILMS

SATURDAY

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) (STV, 10.30pm)

Pierce Brosnan’s second outing as James Bond is one of the most polished films. Media tycoon Elliot Carver creates war between China and the West so he can cover it with his TV, magazines and newspapers – and there’s no prizes for guessing who’s called in to stop him. Bond’s showdown with the sadistic Dr Kauffman is great, there’s a car-park chase to die for and a motorbike scene that would give Evel Knievel nightmares. Composer David Arnold delivers one of the best soundtracks of the 1990s.

Made in Dagenham (2010) (BBC4, 10.30pm)

The female employees making upholstery for a 1960s British car firm campaign for the right to equal pay, only for the company to declare their work is ‘unskilled’. The women embark on a national protest, taking their grievance all the way to the Government and demanding a change in the law. You might be expecting an Essex Girls comedy from the Sid James back-catalogue, but this is a surprisingly moving and well put-together look at an important part of British history.

SUNDAY

Dirty Dancing (1987) (C5, 6pm)

Can it really be more than three decades since Patrick Swayze’s hip-swivelling hero first uttered the immortal line, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner”? Time flies but the charm and simmering sensuality of Dirty Dancing endures. Jennifer Grey plays the idealistic teenager Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, who goes to a summer camp with her well-heeled parents. When resident dance instructor Johnny Castle (Swayze) needs someone to fill in

most baffling) moments. There will be clips of the infamous Polish butter churners, fainting backing singers and Celine Dion on a tractor, but the focus won’t just be on the contestants, as this A-Z also finds space for the interval acts, voting gaffes and some of Terry Wogan and Graham Norton’s best observations from the commentary box. There’s a chance to relive more memories in TOTP2 Goes Eurovision, which features Abba, Cliff Richard, Bucks Fizz, Katrina and the Waves, Lulu and Brotherhood of Man.

SUNDAY

The Best of RHS Chelsea Flower Show (BBC1, 5.50pm)
