It’s crunch time for crisps!
TUESDAY
– C4, 8pm
SIMON Rimmer and Sophie Morgan explore how crisps and popcorn are made, how crisps are marketed to us and the science and psychology of why many can’t resist them.
A survey reveals which parts of Britain eat the most snacks, and at what time of day. Plus, the UK’s favourite flavour of crisp is announced.
I happen to know someone who works in the food industry and I can reliabl inform you that the real “secrets of our favourite snacks” could not be broadcast before the watershed! NEW series. Father Michael Kerrigan advises a hard- up parishioner struggling to feed her family while, with his mother dying, he begins to experience worrying flashbacks of his traumatic childhood.
Sounds like an absolute barrel of laughs.
It’s a Jimmy McGovern drama – so you can bet your life that it’s bound to be suicidally bleak.
Starring Sean Bean and Anna Friel, so there’s a glimmer of hope. THE first of two final cases for Martin Shaw’s detective.
On the brink of retirement, Gently re- opens the case of a woman convicted of killing her husband, hoping to uncover a miscarriage of justice.
However, the investigation places Gently’s career on the line and stirs up tension with Bacchus, who worked on the original investigation.
If you can just ignore the distinctly un- 1960s political correctness that creeps in, this is a fine show.
