MISS MARPLE

ALIBI, 7pm OUR favourite lady sleuth Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) probably wishes she stayed at home more.

In this feature-length drama, she is invited to stay with an old school friend Carrie Louise. Once there she discovers the house has been turned into a home for delinquent boys and also meets a rather eccentric extended family.

BBC2, 9pm HARD to tell if this is a documentary or just an opportunity for Bruno Tonioli to live out his disco dreams.

But there’s no denying that the Strictly judge does look good in a flared white suit.

In this fun look back at the making of the cult hit movie, which turned 40 this year, Bruno revisits New York, where the film was shot and where he was a young dancer at the time.

“I lived for disco,” Bruno tells us, striking the Saturday Night Fever pose. John Travolta and Bee Gee Barry Gibb are interviewed here, along with other members of the cast and crew, as we learn how the film succeeded against the odds. BRING ME MORECAMBE & WISE

“I don’t want some lookey-likely bloke, I want the real thing,” says comedian Joe Pasquale, who is joined by Christopher Biggins (hope he gets WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

YESTERDAY, 8pm A DOUBLE bill of the genealogy series. Marianne Faithfull hears the amazing truth about her mum’s life as a dancer in Berlin and her family’s heroic deeds with the anti-Nazi resistance.

Then reporter John Simpson follows the trail of his greatgrandmother and hears about her affair with Samuel F Cody, the cowboy turned aviation pioneer who was famous for being the first person to fly an aeroplane in Britain.
