SIX HIGHLIGHTS FOR WHAT EVER MOOD YOU’RE IN
If you want razzle-dazzle... STRICTLY COME DANCING Saturday, 6.20pm, BBC1
For the first time this series, all 15 celebrities will dance with their professional partners – and also for the first time, they’ll be in danger of getting voted off. Will Lesley Joseph and Anton Du Beke survive to dance another day? Find out on Sunday’s results show, at 7.15pm.
If you want cute creatures... ANIMAL BABIES Sunday, 4.50pm, BBC1
The aahh-factor is off the scale in this wonderful documentary, which meets some of the cutest wild stars. They include a bigeared serval kitten (right) at the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, and a baby giraffe, whose mother can’t resist giving her newborn a loving nuzzle. Nature at its wonderful best.
If you want a sobering documentary... SAVILE Sunday, 9pm, BBC2
Louis Theroux’s in reflective mood as he looks back at his 2000 encounter with Jimmy Savile (which makes chilling viewing now) to try to understand how a man at the centre of British entertainment for decades was able to get away with a long list of heinous crimes for so long.
If you want an insight into Army life... RAW RECRUITS: SQUADDIES AT 16 Monday, 9pm, Ch5
Britain is the only European country that trains soldiers from the age of 16; in this new, fourpart series, we follow a group of youngsters as they take their first steps towards a military career – if they can master getting up at 5.30am, that is.
If you want the return of an old favourite... THE APPRENTICE Thursday, 9pm, BBC1
Alan Sugar returns for a new, 12th series of the brilliant reality show that always has the nation hooked. And that’s due to the deluded hopefuls who start out claiming to be Britain’s finest business brains before their true, less spectacular, colours are revealed.
If you want comedy... STILL GAME Friday, 9.30pm, BBC1
