like the face of a pig. We’re in San

Sebastien (well, the programme is.

I’m no longer sure I’ll be rushing

there myself), where Fred

concludes his travels in the

company of foodie Nisha Katona.

And yes, Nisha does indeed take

him to a place, Mugartiz, that

serves this porcine speciality as

part of its world-famously

inventive tasting menu.

The pig face is actually made

from crispy chicken skin.

But it does have a chorizo foam

inside.

I don’t know about you but

whenever I’m famished, a chorizo

foam is the one thing I could

murder.

barefoot, to remove any

structurally harmful greenery

sprouting way up there. Not only

that but they use almost no safety

gear (the stonework is too crumbly

to fix ropes to it).

They do have hard hats, but you

can’t help thinking that, were any

of these guys to slip from such a

height, a hard hat would be

roughly as useful as a felt beret.

Elsewhere tonight, for its final

part, REMARKABLE PLACES TO

EAT (BBC2, 8pm) should maybe

have changed its name to

Remarkable Faces...

That’s because host Fred Sirieix

is taken to a restaurant whose

treats include a dish shaped to look

we meet in this first programme,

risk life and limb to ensure a

hallowed structure’s survival.

These are the Buddhist gardeners

at Angkor in Cambodia, a complex

of ancient temples that was once

part of a mega-city, thought to

have been larger than Paris.

They’re worried that the

surrounding jungle, if

unchallenged, will ultimately

engulf their temple and bring it

crashing down, and that the spirits

will then be unhappy and leave

forever.

“If we lost them, life would be

meaningless,” explains the

65-year-old chap in charge. So they

routinely scale its colossal towers,

the M25 services at Cobham. Not

only is it deployed more sparingly

here but it’s also being used rather

more appropriately.

This is a series about

extraordinary buildings and

locations the world over, to which

believers of all creeds will flock to

express their faith and devotion.

That, and in the case of one bunch

A

LL credit to whoever’s
written the voiceover
for SACRED
WONDERS (BBC1,
9pm), a stunning new
series focusing on some
of the planet’s most revered
spiritual landmarks.
We’re well into the sixth minute
before the word “iconic” crops up.
By modern documentary standards
this is extraordinarily restrained.
Typically nowadays we’d be
looking at, what, 60 seconds or less
before the “i” word made its first
appearance.
And the chances are the narrator
would be using it to describe, I
don’t know, a potato, perhaps, or

tonight’s TV

DID YOU KNOW? In 2010, Roisin Conaty won the Best

Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Festival for her show,

Hero, Warrior, Fireman, Liar, being one of five women to

receive an Edinburgh Comedy award in 30 years.

PICKS OF THE DAY

Nature: Animal Babies: First Year On

Earth, BBC2, 9pm

Sadly this is the concluding instalment

of the three-part mini-series but it

goes out on a high with more

remarkable footage of young animals

making their way in the world. In the

final episode of the series, the six

baby animals we have focused on

approach the end of their first year on

Earth. In Iceland, an Arctic fox cub

rejected by his mother must learn

where to find food for the first time,

while in Kenya, spotted hyena (left)

twin sisters must roam a territory they

share with the biggest threat to their

lives – lions. Whether breaking ties or

building bonds, all the young animals

must learn for themselves how to stay

healthy and safe.

Soap: Coronation Street, ITV, 7.30pm & 8.30pm

As we arrive in Weatherfield tonight, Eileen (Sue
Cleaver, above left) quizzes Jan about Seb, but he
insists he was working in Birmingham. Later, though,
she is gutted when he reveals his true colours. Gary
searches for his lost money in the flower shop before
confronting Ryan over his apparent windfall. A bit like
EastEnders earlier in the week, plenty of drama flying
about on the cobbles this evening.

Documentary: The Best Little Prison In Britain, ITV, 8pm

Prison officer Jonesy and repeat offender burglar

Jonno, who have enjoyed an unlikely friendship,

prepare to go their separate ways as one readies for

retirement and the other for release to the outside

world. Meanwhile, a row has broken out over boiled

eggs, setting Margo (above, front) on the warpath and

she is determined to root out the bullies who have

taken more than their fair share.

Film: Taken 3, Film4, 9pm

When Bryan Mills was

flying to Paris in a furious

rage – eager to hunt down

his daughter’s captors –

in the first Taken film, few

would have believed we

would reach a trilogy but

here we are with part

three. Ex-CIA agent Mills’

efforts to live a quiet life

are shattered by the

death of his ex wife. Just

when things seemingly

can’t get any worse, he is

framed for her murder

and must fight to clear his

name. Action thriller

sequel, starring Liam

Neeson (right) alongside

Forest Whitaker and

Maggie Grace.

Comedy: GameFace, C4,

10.05pm

There is no doubting the

talent Roisin Conaty (left)

has, both as an actress

and a script writer, and it

has shone through in this

enjoyable second series.

In tonight’s fourth

episode, Marcella lands

herself a part in a

television advert. Later, at

a session with her life

coach, student Frances

cross-examines her about

what she will do with her

earnings from the project.

Meanwhile, she decides

to celebrate her good luck

with margaritas, forgetting

she has signed up for a

creative writing class.
