PAULA C4, 9pm
Paula Yates, TV presenter, author and journalist, was one of the most famous British women of the 80s and 90s.
appearing on some of the most famous TV shows of the era, presenting both The Tube and The Big Breakfast on C4, Yates redefined what it was to be a woman onscreen.
Fiercely intelligent, outrageously flirtatious and effortlessly cool, Paula also had her personal life played out in the public eye.
Yates was famous for her rock star partners – married first to Bob Geldof and then in a relationship with Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of australian rock band INXS.
This two-part series re-examines Paula, exploring the huge influence she had, and the difficulties she faced during the months before her untimely death in 2000, aged 41.
using tapes of previously unheard interviews, as well as contributions from many of those who were close to her, including Robbie Williams, Nicky Clarke and Vanessa Feltz, the show is a tribute to the wild child who became an icon.
JONATHAN ROSS’ MYTHS AND LEGENDS More 4, 9pm
FROM vampires and witches to cavedwelling creatures and will-o’-the-wisps, the UK is a hotbed of mythical mysteries and local legends.
In this fascinating programme, TV chat show king Jonathan Ross goes on the hunt for incredible tales as old as time, hoping to uncover these fables, many of which have been forgotten.
He starts his journey in Whitby, where he discovers what inspired one of the most enduring modern myths of all time – Dracula.
He visits many of the locations described in the novel, learning about a record-breaking event at Whitby Abbey that saw the most “vampires” ever gathered in one location.
Jonathan travels up the north Yorkshire coast to learn about hobs – mythical cave-dwelling creatures with healing powers.
He then heads inland to Knaresborough to visit Mother Shipton’s Cave, the legendary home of a herbalist and seer who predicted the end of the world.
After having a go at mixing herbal potions, Jonathan takes the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway to historic Haworth near Bradford and a landscape steeped in tales of the supernatural, inspiration for the Bronte sisters to write some of our greatest literature.
He visits the Bronte Parsonage before heading back out on to the moors at night to meet Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and discover the scientific truth about the will-o’-the-wisps.
Hitting the road again, Jonathan ends his journey over the Pennines in Lancaster, a place known as “the hanging town”.
There he learns about the persecution of supposed witches and ventures into the city’s castle dungeon where a family accused of being witches were once held captive in appalling conditions.
