FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...

STREAMING Gaslit, StarzPlay, from Sunday

Slow Burn is a podcast, each series focusing on a different, headline-grabbing subject. The first took a deep dive into Watergate, and featured, among others, interviews with Bob Woodward, one of the journalist­s who broke the story. It was a huge success, both with critics and listeners, and has now been used as the basis of a new drama, which takes a look at the scandal from an unusual angle. Julia Roberts and Sean Penn are almost unrecognis­able as Martha and John Mitchell, an Arkansan socialite and her husband, who was President Richard Nixon’s loyal Attorney General. It reveals how, despite her husband’s affiliatio­n and closeness to the then most powerful man in the world, it was Martha who first publicly raised the alarm – forcing her husband to choose between them.

DRAMA Gentleman Jack, BBC1, 9pm, Sunday

The railway arrives in Yorkshire, and Anne Lister is immediatel­y obsessed with the opportunit­ies it may bring – she wastes no time asking the local businessme­n what this travel revolution could mean for Halifax. But perhaps she should be concentrat­ing on her private life a little bit more because there’s trouble brewing. She and Ann’s efforts to charm Ms Walker’s relatives look set to come to nothing, while Ann herself doesn’t like the idea of her wife visiting Mariana Lawton.

Finally, head of food sourcing

CLIMATE CHANGE Our Changing Planet, BBC1, 7pm, Sunday

In August 2021, the BBC’s Natural History Unit announced an epic new series was coming our way. It would be filmed over the course of the next seven years while charting changes to the environmen­t in six key habitats around the world, including California, the Arctic and the Amazon rainforest. The tireless work of conservati­onists trying to preserve these places will also be followed. Now the first two instalment­s are ready to view, with the opener featuring Steve Backshall, left, Chris Packham and Ella AlShamahi as they embark on fact-finding missions in the Maldives, Iceland and Cambodia respective­ly.
