TONIGHT’S TV PICK
The Apprentice (BBC1, 9pm)
WE all know Lord Sugar is partial to the odd cheesy line, and now for the 10th task of this year’s series, the tycoon is challenging the candidates to create and brand a new vegan alternative to cheese before pitching to industry experts. In the kitchen, one team’s curry creation causes havoc, while on the other team, a premium product fails to deliver. The candidates responsible for the branding bicker, and back in the boardroom, the big cheese himself sends one candidate packing.
Robin Williams: A Life In Ten Pictures (BBC2, 9pm)
ON August 11, 2014, the world lost one of its greatest stand-up comics and one of Hollywood’s most recognisable actors when Robin Williams died, aged 63. Being the award-winning star of Good Morning, Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King and Good Will Hunting, Williams’s image was and still is famous around the world. But this programme selects 10, some iconic shots, some private snaps, and uses them to tell the story of the actor, who delighted audiences around the world, but whose own private life was complicated and tragic.
Taskmaster (C4, 9pm)
GREG Davies is a hard man to please, and it’s usually quite difficult getting points out of him. However, the stern Taskmaster is clearly impressed tonight as he looks for a way to reward Nick Mohammed after he puts a sock on a water bottle, Joanne McNally who ties a noose for a soft toy, and Steve Pemberton as he repeatedly expresses a hankering for pancakes. Meanwhile, Alex Horne jots down all the facts and figures as John Robins puts his faith in honey and Sophie Willan attempts to take flight.
The Twelve (STV, 9pm)
IN last week’s opener, the jury was selected for Kate’s lengthy trial, and it soon became clear that the 12 jurors are bringing their own problems to the table. This week, the Crown calls Detective Sam Chedid to the stand and various pieces of evidence are introduced to the court, including a disturbing video of Claire. During his cross examination, Colby throws suspicion onto Nathan Spears, as he points out the detective’s failure to investigate him as a potential suspect.
