PICK OF THE WEEK
SATURDAY
Sally Lindsay’s Posh Sleepover (C5, 7pm)
Last week’s opener to this three-part series saw Sally staying over at a plush Mayfair pad with more storeys below-ground than above; this time she’s somewhere with a bit more fresh air, as she visits the a mansion in the Surrey Hills. There, she is treated to a helicopter ride to a local vineyard, and a grand night in catered for by a private chef. She’s the guest of self-made millionaire Pete, who was the youngest of seven children from Lancashire. Now he has 13 bathrooms and a £200,000 cinema in his house.
Princess Margaret: Queen of Mustique (C5, 9pm)
So shocking were some of the rumours surrounding Princess Margaret and her time spent on the Caribbean island of Mustique that even the makers of Netflix’s The Crown didn’t use them all. This documentary hears stories from the place where Margaret felt most at home and most able to be herself - from scandalous affairs, X-rated party games, a rumoured rockstar lover and even an alleged bank robbery. Archive footage, insider testimony and expert interviews combine to reveal all.
The Masked Singer: The Final (STV, 7pm)
When this whacky singing contest first came to our shores, it divided viewers over whether it was any good - but everyone was in agreement that it was one of the weirdest formats in quite some time. This second run has proved even more of a success, thanks in no small part to the more recognisable slew of faces lurking behind the masks. The only surprise was the lack of conviction that A-Ha’s lead singer Morten Harket was the man behind the Viking get-up - he literally sang his own song, Take On Me, in week five. Still, the numbers have been whittled down and there’s just three remaining for this week’s final. Joel Dommett returns as the host to steer us through what will be a rather chaotic final.
Muse: Drones: World Tour (Sky Arts, 9pm)
