EMMERDALE

ITV, 7pm

It’s a sad day in the village as Frank’s funeral

takes place and the people closest to him are

seriously struggling. As are those who feel

responsible for his death.

Megan doesn’t even know whether or not to

attend, and then is left heartbroken when Tracy

shows her the ring box she thinks Frank had

gone into the factory to retrieve.

Putting the ring on, Megan breaks down in

tears – and then delivers some tough talking to

the congregation gathered in the church.

EASTENDERS

BBC1, 8pm

Mel might think she’s doing a good job of keeping

her fugitive son Hunter’s presence on the Square

under wraps, but let’s face it, the badly injured

lad is unlikely to stay hidden in that basement for

long. Especially when Ben – quizzing her for

information on Lisa’s whereabouts – gets wind

that something suspicious is going on.

Callum is keeping secrets too, and when

Whitney finds Chris’s letters and asks him about

them, he can’t bring himself to tell her the truth.

CORONATION STREET

ITV, 7.30pm & 8pm

Eileen has sworn off men after her latest

encounter, but as Seb talks about meeting up

with Alina again, it’s clear she’s still missing Jan,

so Moira and Liz take her to the pub.

When she gets back home she’s terrified to

realise there’s an intruder in the house – but is

even more shocked when she sees who it is, and

hears what he has to say.

Elsewhere, Robert’s bad luck with engagement

rings continues.

DAD’S ARMY: THE

LOST EPISODES (EP2)

GOLD, 8pm

What’s this: a new Dad’s Army

episode? Well, yes and no.

The second series of one of

Britain’s best-loved sitcoms

was originally broadcast 50

years ago, but three of the six

episodes were lost and haven’t

been shown on screen since.

So the good people at GOLD

decided to remake them,

using Jimmy Perry and David

Croft’s original scripts and a

new cast.

A cast which delivers pretty

perfect homages to the

originals, including Kevin

McNally as the officious and

pompous Captain Mainwaring,

Kevin Eldon as the panic-

stricken Lance Corporal

Jones, Timothy West as the

well-meaning Private Godfrey

and Robert Bathurst as the

suave and sardonic Sergeant

Wilson.

In this episode, A Stripe For

Frazer, Captain Mainwaring

instigates a competition

between Frazer and Jones to

see who deserves a promotion

to corporal.

In other words... see who

can bribe or flatter him best,

or impress him with the way

they tackle imaginary Nazis.

POLDARK

BBC1, 8.30pm

IT has run for five series, attracted millions

of loyal viewers, and – thanks to a certain

topless scything scene – turned Aidan

Turner into an international sex symbol

and a possible candidate to be the next

James Bond.

But now the end is here as Poldark draws to a

close with this last-ever episode. The Beeb might

well need to set up some sort of helpline for

bereft fans.

There’s a lot to be resolved before we get to

that ending though, and it’s good odds that not

everyone will survive to the credits. Ross Poldark

has already narrowly avoided

death dozens of times, most

recently last week when uber-

meany Merceron had his

thugs hit him over the head

and throw him down

a mineshaft.

That’s as well as beating

Geoffrey Charles black and

blue and putting paid to his

happy ever after with Cecily.

So understandably Ross is out

for revenge – even contemplating

a bit of treason against king and

country by teaming up with the

French to take Merceron and his cronies

down once and for all.

But when he refuses to involve his

wife Demelza (the incandescent

Eleanor Tomlinson) in his plans,

those old insecurities about their

relationship surface and she suspects

his motives could be less than

honourable.

You’d think he’d have learned just how

formidable and capable his missus is

after all these years, but apparently not.

But we’re still hoping there’s a happy

ending in store for Cornwall’s most

passionate and perfect pair.
