TONIGHT’S TV CHOICE
What’s The Matter With Tony Slattery? BBC2, 9pm
To say the lives of Stephen Fry and Tony Slattery have gone in opposite directions is an understatement. Fry is lauded as one of Britain’s brainiest while there are many who’ll be going ‘Tony who?’ In the 1980s, when Slattery emerged from Cambridge alongside Fry and the Footlights gang, his comic stardom looked assured – but then mental health issues took their toll.
Gangs Of London Sky Atlantic, 9pm
The scene shifts away from the capital to the wilds of Wales as the shock waves from the death of gangland boss Finn Wallace ripple ever wider. Vengeance is the name of the game and having a bullet factory in your cottage cellar is no protection: it gets bloody.
Brassic Sky One, 10pm
For a slightly less blood-stained portrait of gang capers, you can find light relief with Vinnie ( Joe Gilgun) and his crew. And by light relief we’re not referring to the pornographic antique furniture the lads have laid their hands on. We also get to see farmer Jim’s bedroom – the decor is unforgettable.
Inside The Crown: Secrets Of The Royals ITV, 9pm
According to Philomena Cunk, it may look more like a crazy football than a crown but the coronavirus is named after what our monarchs put on their heads. So it’s only right that this House of Windsor update takes a look at how the pandemic has affected everyone from the Queen down. It sure took the heat off Prince Andrew.
