FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...
STREAMING Stuntman Disney+, streaming now
This film, executiveproduced by Dwayne Johnson, won the 2018 LA Film Festival’s Audience Award Choice winner for Best Documentary Feature – and no wonder. It chronicles the highs and lows of veteran Hollywood stuntman Eddie Braun as he attempts what many argue is the most dangerous stunt in cinematic history. Following in the footsteps of his childhood idol Evel Knievel, Braun reflects on having survived multiple car crashes, explosions and death-defying leaps over his over 30-year career in film and television. Now in his 50s and finally contemplating retirement, Braun decides to cap off an extraordinary career by recreating Knievel’s infamous but unsuccessful Snake River Canyon rocket jump.

DRAMA Professor T ITV & STV, 9pm, Sunday
Just before the ITV debut of this crime drama based on the hit Belgian series last weekend, its star Ben Miller, left, opened up about his own struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) when he was younger, saying at times it became “unmanageable”. No wonder then that the 55-year-old actor is so convincing in his role as Jasper Tempest, the genius and eccentric Cambridge University criminology professor with a tortured past. In tonight’s second episode, a librarian is poisoned at a museum drinks reception, and Professor T is called upon to help narrow down the list of possible suspects.
