FIVE OF THE BEST SHOWS THISWEEK

The fantastic fantasy drama based on Philip Pullman’s novel continues. In episode three, Lyra ignores the alethiometer, with dangerous consequences for her and Will. Lee Scoresby’s search for Grumman brings an unlikely ally, and the mysterious witches seek answers.

Lovers Rock tells a fictional story of young love at a blues party in 1980. The film is an ode to the romantic reggae genre called lovers rock, and to the black youth who found freedom and love in its sound at London house parties, at a time when they were unwelcome in white nightclubs.

Filmakers R.J. Cutler and John Battsek (Listen to Me Marlon) present a feature length documentary on the life and times of comic legend John Belushi. For the first time, Belushi’s widow Judith Belushi Pisano will open up about her life with the late comedian and share neverseen-before photographs.

The socially-distanced chat show continues. Expect laughs as Jonathan is joined by the UK’s king of comedy Michael McIntyre, the nation’s favourite Body Coach Joe Wicks, and the world’s biggest girl group Little Mix, who will be chatting and performing in the studio.
