STREAMING Money Heist

Netflix, streaming now

Say what you like about Netflix, it knows a diamond when it spots one. This gripping Spanish offering, pictured, following two robberies was originally supposed to be a limited series, but the streaming giant snapped it up, recut it and sent it round the world in two parts, before commission­ing a second. Here, the curtain goes up on the first half of part five, which picks up immediatel­y after the events of its predecesso­r – and regular viewers will know that ended with lots of loose plot strands. So, what can we expect from the new run? Its makers aren’t giving much away, but what we do know is that the characters aren’t going to have an easy ride and we’ll have to wait until December 3rd when the final episodes become available to learn how it pans out.

DOCUMENTAR­Y The Story of Only Fools and Horses BBC1, 8pm, Saturday

It’s hard to believe, but this iconic series got off to a slow start when it first aired on 8th September 1981.

By the time the curtain fell, it was watched by more than 20 million people and trod the line between comedy and drama so lightly we barely knew which side we were on. What better way to mark the show’s 40th anniversar­y than with another chance to see this documentar­y, in which David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and writer John Sullivan explored how Only Fools first came to the small screen.

DRAMA The Hunt for a Killer BBC Four, 9pm & 9.45pm, Saturday

Set in the south of Sweden in the late 1980s, this six-part truecrime series, dubbed ‘Sweden’s answer to Manhunter’, dramatises the disappeara­nce and murder of a 10-year-old girl and its subsequent 16-year-long investigat­ion. We follow police officers

Per-Åke Åkesson (Anders Beckman) and Monica Olhed (Lotten Roos) as they lead a team of detectives who have already solved multiple murders in the past. After the criminal confesses to his crime via a payphone, telling the police to stop pursuing other suspects, the officers track down the person responsibl­e for the murder.

MUSIC BBC Proms 2021 BBC Four, 7pm, Sunday

Sir John Eliot Gardiner makes his 60th Proms appearance directing his own Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists in George Frideric Handel’s vividly theatrical Dixit Dominus – a concerto for choir that blazes with virtuosity and colour.

It’s paired with Johann Sebastian Bach’s Easter cantata Christ lag in Todes Banden – a fiery, dramatic setting of Luther’s popular hymn. Mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg is the soloist in the young Handel’s cantata of praise to the Virgin Mary, Donna, che in ciel, containing music the composer later borrowed for his opera Agrippina.

SPORT Paralympic­s Closing Ceremony Live C4, 11.30am, Sunday

The curtain finally comes down on what has been a truly breathtaki­ng sporting spectacle, one that has inspired and uplifted as much as it has had us yelling at the TV, urging our favourite athletes on to success.
