CATCH-UP TV DRAMA

Babs BBC iPLAYER

Biopic of Barbara Windsor that portrays the life of the Carry On star with wit, flair and imaginatio­n. Jaime Winstone and Samantha Spiro play her in the 1960s and the 1990s in a warm-hearted tribute written by Tony Jordan (EastEnders, Life On Mars). Elizabeth I: Battle For The Throne MY5

Model Lily Cole plays the Virgin Queen, as she grows from princess to warrior ruler, in this well-mounted mix of drama and documentar­y.

COMEDY

You’re The Worst MY5

One of those well-regarded US comedies that wind up in a poor timeslot over here (Sundays, 11pm, 5Star), You’re The Worst is an anti-romantic comedy that stars Britain’s Chris Geere as half of a young couple who are desperate to still party like singletons.

DOCUMENTAR­Y

Long Lost Family: What Happened Next ITV HUB Since the show began six years ago, Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell have reunited more than 200 people with long-lost relatives. This series finds out what happens after the reunion – which can be just the start of the story. Mind The Age Gap In Channel 5’s interestin­g new series, 12 people from two different age groups make a valiant attempt to bridge the generation gap. Will the conversati­ons between the two groups – one in their 20s, the other in their 60s – result in a new sense of understand­ing between the generation­s, or simply serve to highlight the divide in modern society? Dara And Ed’s Road To Mandalay BBC iPLAYER Comedians and friends Dara O Briain and Ed Byrne go off on a jolly, 3,000-mile jaunt through Southeast Asia – ‘one of the most rapidly changing places on Earth’ – that will take them to Thailand and Myanmar. In the first part, the Irish duo explore Malaysia, starting in the capital of Kuala Lumpur.

ENTERTAINM­ENT

Doctor Who

BBC iPLAYER

There’s a special iPlayer version of last week’s creepy episode. Listen to it through headphones and a 3-D effect is created, placing you right at the centre of all the spooky goingson. Best to listen with the lights on, perhaps…

LAST CHANCE

Maigret’s Night At The Crossroads
