CATCH-UP TV
DRAMA
Ordinary Lies
BBC iPLAYER
Jill Halfpenny, Griff Rhys Jones and Angela Griffin are among the cast of Danny Brocklehurst’s returning drama about the consequences of apparently harmless lies. It began with the story of a sales executive who believes that his wife is having an affair, and who goes to extremes to find proof.
HIM
ITV HUB
ITV’s three-part drama is centred on a surly teenage boy who is alienated from his divorced parents. His only connection is with his grandmother, who tells him he has a special supernatural power that he must never, ever use in anger. Hmm… COMEDY
The Big Bang Theory
ALL 4 The nerd comedy returned for its tenth season last week, and it’s taken the show that long to introduce us to Penny’s mother and brother – played by Katey Sagal (Sons Of Anarchy) and Jack McBrayer (30 Rock). Their encounter with Leonard’s mum is a memorable one.
QI
BBC iPLAYER Stephen Fry’s replacement, Sandi Toksvig, took the reins for the first time as the quite interesting quiz returned last Friday with the letter N. Alan Davies remains as a panellist.
DOCUMENTARY The Secret Life Of Sue Townsend (Aged 68¾)
BBC iPLAYER Sue Townsend left school with no qualifications at 14. In her early 20s, she was a single mother to three and then, in her mid-30s, the first of her hugely successful Adrian Mole books was published. Julie Walters narrates this affectionate profile of a much-missed talent.
SAS: Who Dares Wins
ALL 4
Twenty-five raw recruits were dropped into the Amazonian rainforest last week as this series returned for a new run. Will any of them have what it takes to complete the SAS’s gruelling selection process? Ex-SBS sniper Anthony Middleton is the Chief Instructor, and he’s on hand to weed out the weak. ENTERTAINMENT
The Crystal Maze SU2C Celebrity Special
ALL 4
Stephen Merchant presents this one-off revival, and Sara Cox and Michelle Keegan are among those tackling the elaborate zones. LAST CHANCE
The First Presidential Debate
ALL 4
Politics doesn’t always make for good TV, but this clash between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was remarkably entertaining – if far from dignified. Until Thursday.
