PICK OF THE DAY

SIXTEEN: CLASS OF 2021

9PM, CH4 ★★★★

For this new observational series, teenagers from Dudley in the Midlands – who reached their landmark 16th birthdays during a 2020-21 of repeated lockdowns and isolation

– were given cameras to document their final year at school. Sade, Callum,

Kara, Jack and Grace (right) are typical teenagers facing an atypical year. Some are happier than others about missing school, but, baked potato projectiles aside, they handle the challenges of Year 11 with the courage, energy, defiance and resilience that perhaps only teenagers can.

SHOP WELL FOR LESS? 8PM, BBC1

★★★

Jo Page and Melanie Sykes come to the rescue of socialmedia-savvy Leicester couple Ross and George. They know how to treat themselves, but must seriously scale back their spending if they are ever going to afford to buy a home together. Elsewhere, shoppers in Bristol are put to the test over fake orchids.

AMBULANCE 9PM, BBC1

★★★★

During the new year lockdown, the peak is starting to bite. One in four 999 calls is a suspected Covid case, and the North West Ambulance Service have been asked to help to field calls from London, where a major incident has been declared. As ambulances in Liverpool queue outside the hospital, the pressure never stops.

UNDERCOVER BIG BOSS

9PM, ITV ★★★

The final boss donning a disguise is Shelim Hussain, who runs one of the biggest suppliers of Indian food in Europe. His success was built from the ground up – a £20 investment growing over 30 years into a turnover of £200 million – and he’s keen to know that his workforce is ready for further growth. SA
