The Queen’s Lost Family

CHANNEL 4, 8.00PM

You would be hard pressed
to describe either George
VI or Edward VII as “lost”;
even their siblings, Henry,
Mary and George, would
only qualify as lesser known. But get
behind the bewildering title and there
is some fascinating material here, as
the story begins in the aftermath of the
First World War. The key insights
come courtesy of a cache of letters and
diaries belonging to the five
aforementioned royals, containing
their thoughts on their tyrannical
father, George V, their respective
dalliances, and the turbulent political
situation across Europe that had
already seen several monarchies fall.
George, Duke of Kent, and his prolific
sex life, Henry’s ill-advised flings and
Mary’s cloistered upbringing are all
scrutinised by a distinguished cast of
historians. With George V’s passing,
the abdication crisis and war to come,
this three-part series promises much
more. Gabriel Tate

Dragons’ Den

BBC TWO, 8.00PM

Still as mystifyingly compelling as
ever, the entrepreneurial contest
returns for a 17th series with another
new dragon, “tight canny northern
lass” Sara Davies, and an opening salvo
of pitches including spiced rum, a new
idea for toilet brushes and probiotic
pet food. GT

The Great Train Robbery:
The Hidden Tapes

CHANNEL 4, 9.00PM

Even after 56 years and countless
books and documentaries there’s still
something new left to say about the
Great Train Robbery. The
headlines around this film have
been, inevitably, “the great train
robber who got away is finally
unmasked” – and he is
definitively named by his son
here, although the man’s
identity, taxi-driver Danny
Pembroke, has been widely
circulated since his death
in 2015. Beyond that,
director Sarah Hey’s
documentary does a top
job of setting out the
background to the
crime, and its impact,

veneer of wealth and a perfect family

disguises deep-rooted problems. All

three are brought together at the

school gates; comparisons with Sky

Atlantic’s Big Little Lies are presumably

purely coincidental. Adapted from the

novels of Paula Daly by Mrs Wilson’s

Anna Symon, Deep Water’s

observations on class insecurity and

sex are acute and a pivotal dinner

party is truly cringe-making, even as

implausibilities mount up a little too

conveniently (no life jackets for a

cruise on the lake, an open bathroom

door during an illicit bunk-up). The

performances, though, are up to snuff,

and even at its silliest Deep Water has a

keen sense of pulpy fun. The whole

series will be available on ITV Player

straight after. GT

Sacred Wonders

BBC ONE, 9.00PM

Taking further surprising perspectives

on monuments and faith, this

impressive three-parter introduces us

to a Malian Muslim who is replastering

a mosque, a Shinto devotee going

through a gruelling trial for the good

of his country, and an Anglican priest

conducting a deeply bizarre ceremony

at a New York cathedral. GT

Thursday

Fake or Fortune?

BBC ONE, 9.00PM

The final programme in the series sees

another painting that’s come down

through generations fall under Philip

Mould and Fiona Bruce’s art-

investigation spotlight. This one is a

ravishing view of the Santa Maria della

Salute church in Venice, supposedly

by a contemporary of Canaletto.

Meaning, says Bruce, it could be “by a

country mile the most expensive

painting we’ve ever looked at”. The

painting had previously been

attributed to two 18th-century

Venetian artists: Michele Marieschi (if

so, worth £500,000) and Francesco

Guardi (in which case, a stonking

£10 million). And there’s the usual

caveat that it might be by neither.

While Mould visits Cambridge to

compare other known works by the

two artists, Bruce investigates the

family story that the painting was

purchased in Venice in the 1880s, and

examines the evidence on the back of

the canvas, including contradictory

labels and assorted other splodges. As

ever, the pair are led on a fascinating

international mystery tour through

dusty archives and cutting-edge

science to try to pin down its precise

origin, with plenty of big surprises

along the way. GO

Fugitives

BBC ONE, 8.00PM

More stories from police extradition

units in the UK and around Europe

hunting international fugitives from

justice. Tonight, the search for a killer

that led South Wales Police all the way

to Tanzania. GO

Friday

Cher: the Greatest Showgirl

CHANNEL 5, 10.15PM

This biopic opens with a dramatisation

of a phone call between Cher and film

director George Miller. Apparently,

Miller tried to fire her from his movie

The Witches of Eastwick with cruel

comments like “Jack Nicholson and I

think you’re too old”. Miller failed, but

the scene shows the hard knocks Cher

has endured throughout her 50-year

career, particularly while reinventing

herself from singer to actress in the

Eighties. It gives a flavour of this

two-hour extravaganza: it’s a

hagiography exploring how she has

succeeded in spite of a traumatic

childhood. Cher’s legendary battles

with nearly every film director she’s

ever worked with are rather glossed

over, however. The story is told by a

clutch of Cher’s non-famous friends

(including one of Sonny Bono’s

ex-wives, interestingly), so don’t come

expecting Vegas-style sequins and a

claws-out gossip-fest – this tribute is

as warm as they come. Vicki Power

Mindhunter

NETFLIX, FROM TODAY

The second season of David Fincher’s

acclaimed criminal drama sees new

horrors faced by the special FBI

agents, who in the Seventies

developed the strategy of criminal

profiling. This series, the caseload

of emotionally fragile agent Holden

Ford (Jonathan Groff ) and his team

includes the 1979-81 Atlanta Child

Murders and dealings with notorious

killers Son of Sam and Charles

Manson. VP

without going into too much

overfamiliar detail. The main focus is

on one of the principal gang members,

Roger Cordrey, whose “hidden” tape

recordings about the robbery (four

hours’ worth recorded for Piers Paul

Reid’s 1978 book The Train Robbers

and never before broadcast) have been

rediscovered by his son, Tony. Overall,

it’s an absorbing account of a crime

that has gripped the public imagination

for decades. Gerard O’Donovan

Who Do You Think You Are?

BBC ONE, 9.00PM

Oscar-winning actor Kate Winslet sets

out to see if rumours of Scandinavian

ancestry on her late mother Sally’s

side are correct. She’s none too

impressed by her forebears’ harsh

living conditions but, on her

father’s side at least, she has a

more positive encounter in a

prison. GO

Kathy Burke’s All

Woman

CHANNEL 4, 10.00PM

“Just because I’m

happy with my big fat self, doesn’t

mean other women are,” says Kathy

Burke, the irrepressible actor and

writer/director, now heading up

this new three-part series about

womanhood. Tonight’s opener looks

at beauty and whether women should

change their looks to meet society’s

ideals. The pressures of social media

loom large: she talks to Love Island

star Megan Barton-Hanson about the

flak she faced for having cosmetic

surgery and meets shop assistant

Laura, whose desire for breast

implants has been stoked by

Instagram. Refreshing interviews

with buxom Lucian Freud model

Sue Tilley and grime artist Nadia

Rose offer a counterbalance to the

pressure to conform, but it’s Burke

discussing her own relationship with

how she looks and how it’s affected

her life and career that proves most

illuminating. Toby Dantzic

Keeping Faith

BBC ONE, 9.00PM

The emotional temperature runs high

at work as a passionate Faith (Eve

Myles) deals with the fallout from

Madlen’s (Aimee-Ffion Edwards)

sentencing. There’s a headache on the

home front too, with Evan’s release

from prison now imminent. TD

Deep Water

ITV, 9.00PM

In many ways the apotheosis of the

middlebrow ITV thriller, Deep Water

does at least forgo the murder mystery

(so far, at least) in favour of a dissection

of three women and their families in

Windermere: Anna Friel’s Lisa, barely

holding herself, three rebellious kids,

job and work-obsessed husband

together; Sinead Keenan’s masseuse

Roz, working herself silly to make

good the debts of her gambling-

addicted, wet blanket of a husband;

is a poetic and musical

celebration of Dorset,

Devon and Cornwall with

readings of the works of

West Country lovers

Thomas Hardy, John

and Enid Blyton, by John

Nettles and Sarah Parish –

from Cornwall and Somerset

Stillicide

RADIO 4, 7.45PM

‹ The definition of

“stillicide” is “continual

dripping”, but there isn’t

an abundance of water in

Cynan Jones’s powerful

and relevant 12-part drama

set in the very near future,

where water is a valuable

commodity which people

will kill to get. A Water

Train feeds a capital city

which is running so dry

that icebergs have to be

towed to a dock just outside

it to provide the inhabitants

with water. Stillicide, read

by Richard Goulding, tells

the interlocked stories

of people whose lives

will be affected by the

arrival of the giant iceberg.
