Kathy Burke’s All Woman

● DOCUMENTARY / 10pm / C4

NEW

Actress Kathy Burke presents

this funny, refreshing three-part

documentary, which explores what it

really means to be a woman in 201 9. With

episodes tackling motherhood, sex and

relationships, the series opens with a

look at beauty and image, and the lengths

some women will go to achieve physical

perfection. Kathy chats to famous faces,

including Lucian Freud’s muse Sue Tilley,

as well as Love Island’s Megan Barton-

Hanson, who’s spent around £ 4 0,000

transforming her looks. Kathy also visits a

plastic surgeon to consider ‘freshening up’

her face but, at a cost of £20,000, decides

she’ll keep her ‘double chin, saggy neck

and old jowls’! A joy to watch, thanks to

Kathy’s quips and insights. ★★★★★ RM

Inside the Factory

● FACTUAL / 8pm / BBC2

Gregg Wallace is in France at the biggest

croissant factory in the world to see how

this iconic and delicious breakfast pastry is

made. The factory may produce 336,000

croissants every 2 4 hours, but the process

cannot be rushed. The dough has to be

rested, gently stretched and massaged to

ensure a perfectly plump and flaky result.

The key, Gregg discovers, is creating layers

• 12, to be precise. Meanwhile, Cherry
  Healey tests what happens when you mess
  with a croissant’s layers – the result isn’t
  pretty, or tasty! Finally, historian Ruth
  Goodman explores the history of the
  croissant and the link between the French
  revolution and bread. ★★★ JL

share stories and play some hilarious games... ★★★★ SMA
