INCREDIBLE JOURNEYS WITH SIMON REEVE

8PM, BBC2 ★★★★

For this new, four-part series, the intrepid traveller revisits some of his most memorable adventures. Starting out more than 15 years ago, when he looked ever so slightly more boyish, Simon (right) has covered a lot of ground, his travels taking him to some

130 countries. For him, it’s the people he meets that make the difference. He wells up when he gets an update from the barefoot youngster he met in the slums of Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, in 2010, and also looks back on an especially dangerous journey to Burma.

THE TRUMP SHOW: THE DOWNFALL

9PM, BBC2 ★★★★

A new episode of the series on Donald Trump’s unorthodox Presidency charts his election defeat and the deadly assault on the Capitol by supporters who refused to acknowledge it. Trump has never been easy to predict and he has frequently defied his detractors. This is one show that is likely to go on.

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS (2018) 12

2PM, ITV ★★★

Family fantasy, with a splash of Harry Potter, following a young orphan (Owen Vaccaro) as he discovers his magical potential. Jack Black is the boy’s warlock uncle and new guardian, with Cate Blanchett as their witchy neighbour and Kyle Maclachlan as the villain.
