SATURDAY

A Lake District Farm Shop (C4, 8.15pm)

We meet Love Ewe Dairy founder James Hadwin, a farmer based in Kirkby Lonsdale. He is hoping his new innovative sheep’s milk brie will earn a place in the service station’s cheese counter alongside hearty Lancashire­s, mellow Swaledales, and award-winning Cumbrian cheeses. Meanwhile, Tracey, the service station’s head of lifestyle, travels to Winster Valley to meet Jonty Hampson, who makes timber craft products. Plus, new supplier Lakes Brew reveal the process of creating local craft brews for Tebay, with ingredient­s including Lake District water and UK-grown barley.

The 1% Club (STV, 8.30pm)

If you’re Not Going Out this Saturday night, then turn into this new game show, hosted by quickwitte­d comedian Lee Mack. It sees 100 contestant­s narrowed down to just one. They will be asked a series of questions – starting from one that 99 per cent of Britons would get right, down to only just one per cent of who would. Each contestant will start with £1,000 and one free pass, but if they answer incorrectl­y, they are out and their grand goes into the prize pot. This means the winner stands to take home £100,000. Mack says: “If, like me, your lack of general knowledge frustrates you when doing quizzes, then watch the 1% Club. That way, like me, you can instead be frustrated by your lack of logic.”

Killing Eve (BBC1, 9.15pm)

The best scenes of this drama are usually when Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) come face to face and you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. And tonight, before they head off on their respective missions, the pair meet for what could be one final, chaotic, time, in Berlin. Then, while Villanelle is led to another assassin in the Twelve, Eve moves closer to achieving revenge. Plus, Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) is forced to face a ghost from her past as she continues to investigat­e her son Kenny’s murder.

Rock Family Trees: The Birth of Cool Britannia (BBC2, 10.15pm)

Britpop emerged in the 1990s alongside the ‘Cool Britannia’ movement with a style hearkening back to the traditiona­l guitar-driven songs and melodic hooks found in the British Pop Rock of the 1960s. Sara Cox takes a trip down memory lane to tell the story behind the birth of Britpop and how a handful of likeminded musicians paved the way for a music revolution. She explores the intricatel­y connected lineage of Suede, Elastica and Blur, and the programme features interviews with the likes of Brett Anderson, Justine Frischmann, Mat Osman and Justin Welch, as well as charting the friendship­s and fall-outs.

SUNDAY

The Speedshop (BBC2, 8pm)

Titch embarks on a very personal build – a vintage custom motorcycle to honour his late

grandfathe­r who was a D-Day veteran. Corporal William Cormack served with 45 Commando, the same regiment Titch would be a part of 50 years later. Once completed, Titch wants to ride the machine over to the D-Day beach his grandfathe­r landed on and pay his respects to the soldiers who took part in the Second World War. But before Titch crosses the channel, there’s an AC Cobra in Cornwall that needs the team’s attention.

The Ipcress File (STV, 9pm)

At times this adaptation of Len Deighton’s bestsellin­g novel has been trying too hard to be cool, but overall it’s been pretty enthrallin­g stuff, and different enough from the film version to appeal to fans old and new. Whether Joe Cole will return as Harry Palmer in any further adaptation­s of Deighton’s work remains to be seen, but the character is about to sign off the series in an exciting manner. As the mission reaches its climax, Harry must help keep the world’s equilibriu­m in place - which isn’t easy thanks to the misinforma­tion planted in his brain.

The Olivier Awards 2022 (STV, 10.15pm)

The annual ceremony is back and it’s bigger than ever – because it was cancelled last year, shows running from February 2020 to February 2022 are eligible. The event, which is held at the Royal Albert Hall in London, is one of the

most prestigiou­s dates on the theatrical calendar, and several winners have already been announced – theatre school founder Sylvia Young and Lisa Burger, executive director and joint chief executive of the National Theatre, are among those receiving special recognitio­n trophies. The rest, however, are a mystery, but revivals of Anything Goes and Cabaret are among the frontrunne­rs. Jason Manford hosts.

The Cane Field Killings (C4, 10.30pm)

The broadcaste­r is turning to South Africa for its latest crime drama. Kim Engelbrech­t heads the cast as Reyka Gama, an investigat­ive psychologi­st and criminal profiler who, as an

much as they did the first. I’m utterly delighted that we’ve been recommissi­oned, because there are so many more big, bold stories to tell about Anne Lister and Ann Walker.”

Big things were certainly expected of the drama before it began back in 2019 thanks to the people involved. Wainwright was coming off the back of a run of extraordin­ary success, which included the Bronte sisters drama To Walk Invisible, two series of the amazing Happy Valley, four runs of Last Tango in Halifax and Scott & Bailey, her second project with Jones, who had previously
