TV CHOICES

Boiling Point BBC1, 9pm

In 2019, former head chef Philip Barantini made his second short film, which was inspired by his own experience of working in kitchens. It was then expanded into a featurelength movie - and now the same characters are appearing in this eagerly awaited five-part drama, which could turn out to be a very tasty TV morsel. Stephen Graham reprises his role as talented but troubled chef Andy, although it’s his former right-hand woman, Carly (Vinette Robinson), who is now centre stage. The story picks up eight months after the events depicted in the movie, and she’s in charge of her own eaterie. However, keeping it afloat during a difficult period for the hospitality industry makes her life harder than she could ever have imagined.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Channel 4, 9pm

We’re only onto the second episode, but already you get the feeling that the famous folk taking part are wondering why their agents let them sign up for the challenge - it didn’t seem half as gruelling while they were watching the regular version from the safety of their favourite armchair. A search operation that involves moving through a series of rooms filled with CS gas definitely isn’t a lot of fun, but it does at least force the participants to work as a team - if they don’t, they won’t complete the task before being overcome by the fumes. There’s no time to rest afterwards either - instead they’re thrown into the deep end again, with a hostage crisis being the latest trauma to befall the group.
