FOUR OF THE BEST
Kate & Koji
STV, 8pm
The seaside town at the heart of this sitcom may not have been affected by lockdown, but it doesn’t mean the residents aren’t dealing with their own problems. This week, it’s claimed that a storm is heading their way, and Councillor Bone (Barbara Flynn) is annoyed that her arch–enemy Kate (Brenda Blethyn) is refusing to step in line. Given our current situation, will audiences be feeling more sympathetic towards Councillor Bone than the woman who won’t do as she’s told? Well, if anyone can keep us on side, it’s Blethyn. Elsewhere, Koji (Jimmy Akingbola) acquires a new jacket, only to discover it comes complete with an unfortunate history, and Medium (Blake Harrison) may have lost Kate a lot of money on the horses.
The Repair Shop
BBC1, 8pm
Jay Blades and the team bring four treasured family heirlooms back to life. The first arrival at the barn is Eloise Mckenna from Kent, who hopes a large alabaster light shade that belongs to her sister can be repaired by art conservator Lucia Scalisi. Leather expert Suzie Fletcher takes a look at an old piano stool, which has been handed down through four generations of a family. Elsewhere, experts Richard Biggs and Dominic Chinea turn their attention to restoring a toy bus and a pair of binoculars.
The Countess and the Russian Billionaire

Sergei Pugachev, who was once known as Putin’s banker, has amassed a $15billion fortune, owning one of Russia’s largest private banks, as well as shipyards, a coal mine and designer brands. His relationship with his British partner, Countess Alexandra Tolstoy, had seemed like a fairy tale romance, complete with power and money. However, as this documentary going inside their secret world finds out, Sergei has fallen from favour with the president. His empire is under risk and threats have been made to his life. As he begins his fight back from a chateau in France, Alexandra holds the fort with their three children in London, and the documentary explores the pressure this puts on the couple.
