FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...

STREAMING Sex Education Netflix, streaming now

We were expecting the third season of the smashhit comedy-drama in January, but like so many other things, production was delayed by the global pandemic. However, as the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait. Jason Isaacs joins the cast as the more successful brother of disgraced headteacher Mr Groff, while Girls’ star Jemima Kirk takes the role of former pupil Hope Haddon, who is taking charge of Moordale following Groff’s unceremonious downfall. She makes her presence felt by introducing a new uniform, although what we really want to know is whether or not central character Otis and his best friend will finally get together.

HISTORY Bettany Hughes’ Treasures of the World Channel 4, 8.30pm, Saturday

The historian is in the Mediterranean, following the route of traders from Gibraltar to Malta where a recently discovered Punic tomb reveals proof that these Phoenicians originated from North Africa. She also learns how farmers grow three citrus crops a year with an ancient Arabic underground irrigation system called ‘the Invention of Summer’. Next, she receives rare permission to stay on the sacred island of Delos under a super moon during summer solstice. Then, on the Italian island of Ischia, Bettany samples the Roman thermal baths and shares the story of Michelangelo’s muse, Vittoria Colonna, who wrote over 13 volumes of poetry.

DOCUMENTARY When Nirvana Came to Britain BBC2, 9.30pm, Saturday

In September 1991, the US trio Nirvana released their second studio album Nevermind, which became a surprise smash _ it has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and gave us the iconic single Smells Like Teen Spirit. While that may have made them stars, their relationship with Britain goes back even further. This documentary charts Kurt Cobain and co’s rise from their very first British tour, which saw them performing in pubs and tiny venues, to becoming one of the biggest bands in the world.

DRAMA Vigil BBC1, 9pm, Sunday

It’s fair to say this claustrophobic drama has divided the nation. Some can’t get their heads around the relentless plot twists, while some members of the Royal Navy have reportedly been on the brink of mutiny over inaccuracies. We say soak it all up as the penultimate episode hikes the tension.

SPORT Cycling: Road World Championships BBC Two, 1.30pm, Sunday

Live coverage of the men’s time trial at cycling’s Road World Championships in Flanders, Belgium. The start of the 43.3km race is situated on the North Sea beach, near the casino. During the first 1.5km, the riders will ride along the sea, followed by a passage in the centre of KnokkeHeist. After, it goes inland, through Dudzele, Damme and Bruges, before the finish in ’t Zand.
