FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...

STREAMING Rebecca

Netflix, from Wednesday

Based on the Daphne du Maurier novel and following a slew of successful adaptations over the years – most notably Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 Oscarwinner – this new movie from Netflix stands on the shoulders of giants. It does, however, for the same reasons, have an awful lot to prove. Fortunately, it’s directed by esteemed British filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List, A Field In England) and boasts an impressive cast – with Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Tom Goodman-Hill and Keeley Hawes among them – which makes it a tempting prospect. For those unfamiliar with the story, it follows a glamorous young woman who finds herself living in the shadow of her new husband’s first wife – the mysterious Rebecca.

TV FUN The Million Pound Cube Celebrity

ITV & STV, Saturday, 9pm

From Monday to Friday this week, Phillip Schofield (right) presents a new run of the much-loved game show, where the majority of the action takes place inside a Perspex box. But to get viewers in the mood for it, tonight sees Schofe host a one-off celebrity edition, during which famous faces get a chance to win £1 million for their chosen charity. Two teams of two are taking part, the first being Mo Gilligan and David Ajao. Gilligan’s star has risen very sharply during the past couple of years, and he barely seems to be off our screens in recent weeks; Ajao is an actor and co-host of his and Gilligan’s podcast. Also appearing is

Jason Manford, who will be partnered by his brother Stephen, who is a magician. Perhaps he’ll cast a spell to ensure he and his sibling win the jackpot.

DOCUMENTARY The Apollo

Sky Arts, Saturday, 9pm

Modest in size but rich in history, the Apollo is one of New York City’s most iconic performance venues. The theatre played a key role in the Harlem Renaissance movement in which African Americans thrived, and it is renowned for launching the successful careers of some the most recognisable names in Jazz, R&B and other genres associated with black performers. This documentary explores the history of the venue, with archive footage of performances by Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix and Pharrell Williams.

SPORT

Live Challenge Cup Rugby League

BBC One, 1.45pm, Saturday

Mark Chapman presents coverage of the 2020 final between Leeds Rhinos and Salford

Red Devils at Wembley Stadium. Although the Super League season has been hit heavily by the coronavirus pandemic, 13-time Challenge Cup winners the Rhinos were in good form as they defeated Wigan Warriors 26-12 in the semis. Meanwhile, Salford, who last lifted the trophy in 1938, produced a fine comeback to prevail 24-22 against holders Warrington Wolves.
