The Proposal, 8.15pm, BBC3
YOU know the set-up: two goodlooking people who would never ordinarily date pretend to be an item in order to please family/ boss/immigration. It’s the latter two in this insubstantial romcom. Sandra Bullock is the feisty Canadian who has to marry her PA (Ryan Reynolds) to keep her job.
FUN COMEDY
Trollied, 8.30pm, Sky1
THIS week’s new episode continues to put the new characters front and centre. Woman-child Charlie is behaving stupidly, Daniel is trying to rein her in and, most spectacularly, Rose (Miriam Margolyes) goes into meltdown. Very little of it makes sense, but it’s all good enough fun.
DANCE HISTORY Dancing Cheek To Cheek, 9pm, BBC4
LEN GOODMAN handles the dancing and Lucy Worsley (pictured with Goodman) the history (and costumes) for a jolly new, three-part delve into dancing in British life. They begin with the 17th century, when dancing was all the rage — chiefly because it afforded the sexes a rare chance to interact — and perform a minuet in full period dress.
SCHOOLGIRL COMEDY
Some Girls,, 10pm,p BBC3
THIS only slightly exaggerated comedy about teenage schoolgirls returns for a new, third series, as Viva — the normal one — deals with her bboyfriend’s alleged allergy to exercisee books and pens, while her gloriously demented friend, Amber (the very game Alice Felgate, pictured), is shaken by the loss of her phone.
HORROR DRAMA Rosemary’s Baby, 10pm, Lifetime
THE acutely creepy 1968 movie expands into a solidly atmospheric four-part drama, with Avatar’s Zoe Saldana as the woman starting a new life with her husband in Paris — where her pregnancy is targeted by Satan-worshippers. Ex-Bond girl Carole Bouquet and Jason Isaacs are smilingly sinister as patrons of the high-end life to which the younger couple find themselves pulled.
