The Real Marigold On Tour, 9pm, BBC1

THE golden oldies return for a new series, travelling the world to sample retirement in a variety of countries. In the first episode, unlikely new chums Bobby George and Stanley Johnson are joined by Miriam Margolyes and Sheila Ferguson (pictured) – hilariously, Stanley thinks Sheila used to be the lead singer of the Bee Gees rather than The Three Degrees. Their destination is Russia, beginning in St Petersburg, where they receive a warm welcome – even though Miriam is keen to tell everyone she meets how much she hates President Putin. They then head off to a sanatorium in the countryside, where there are some unusual treatments to be endured.
