SIX HIGHLIGHTS FOR WHAT

IF YOU WANT TRAVEL... INCREDIBLE JOURNEYS WITH SIMON REEVE SUNDAY, 8PM, BBC2

Simon’s final look back focuses on unspoilt wildernesses, and what we can all do to protect them. He recalls meeting indigenous peoples around the world – from icy Siberia to tropical South America – to learn how they are coping with the damage we’ve done to the planet.

IF YOU WANT A BOX SET BINGE... THE SERPENT SUNDAY, 9PM, BBC1

This true-crime drama has gone somewhat under the radar, but all episodes are available now on BBC iplayer and it’s well worth a watch, particularly for its authentic re-creation of its 1970s setting. As we reach the end, the net is closing on Charles and Marie-andree (Tahar Rahim and Jenna Coleman, right).

IF YOU WANT A HISTORY LESSON... WARTIME BRITAIN WEDNESDAY, 9PM, CH5

After the success of Wartime Christmas, we’re heading back to the Second World War for this two-part special, which concludes on Thursday. As experts bring the home front to life, volunteers (including Louise Dekker, right) immerse themselves in wartime Britain to learn how people kept calm and carried on.

IF YOU WANT GREEN FINGERS... GARDENING WITH CAROL KLEIN THURSDAY, 7PM, CH5

With the weather improving – and with plenty of time on our hands – there’s no excuses now to ignore that outdoor space any more. But if you are clueless about gardening, fear not, as Carol (right) is back with a two-part masterclass full of expert tips and useful advice.

IF YOU WANT RURAL LIFE... THIS WEEK ON THE FARM THURSDAY, 8PM, CH5

Helen Skelton (right) is back for another seasonal series based at south Yorkshire’s Cannon Hall Farm, celebrating the work of British farmers up and down the country as they navigate unprecedented challenges. As always, the show will be trying to get everyone to eat British to help out our farmers.

IF YOU WANT EMOTIONAL DRAMA... IT’S A SIN FRIDAY, 9PM, CH4

It’s the last episode of Russell T. Davies’s emotional drama, which has shined a light on a forgotten period of British history with wit and warmth. Lydia West and Keeley Hawes (right) both give brilliant performances in this gutwrenching finale. All five episodes are available on All 4.
