● FACTUAL / 7.55pm / C4

NEW

For three

minutes each

night this week, we can see

history being made. In

1969, an estimated 600

million people watched

Neil Armstrong’s first

steps on the Moon, and

these daily snippets of real

footage of the Apollo 11

mission, from launch to

landing, are intended

to re-create a similar

viewing experience for us,

50 years on. HHHLB

Long Lost Family

● REAL LIFE / 9pm / ITV

When Mark was 12 years old, he

discovered that he’d been adopted as a

baby. The news completely rocked his

world and even now, at the age of 56, he

still finds it too painful to think about and

has spent his adult life working long hours

to keep himself busy and not endlessly

wondering why his birth mother gave him

up. He knows his mum’s name and that she

was 25 when she had him, and he’s hoping

and praying that Davina and Nicky can

tell him more. The second story belongs

to 61-year-old Alice. As a child, she

remembers meeting her younger brother

Sam for just one week, then she never saw

him again. Now she wants to know if he’s

okay all these years later and if they still

share a special connection. HHHHJL

Dark Mon£y

● DRAMA / 9pm / BBC1

Has the time to tell the truth been and

gone? At last week’s premiere, child star

Isaac (Max Fincham) was devastated to

see his attacker, director and paedophile

Jotham Starr, charm, smarm and evade

confrontation. This week, Isaac turns to

drink and drugs, his brother and sister

are let in on the secret, and guilt weighs

heavier than ever on his shell-shocked

parents. The only hope now lies with

tabloid journalist Dominic – but what’s

going on behind that dodgy haircut and

unfortunate manner...? There’s nothing

subtle about this four-parter, but it’s

timely, and bravely takes on every related

issue. Concludes tomorrow. HHHHHD

Big Little Lies

● DRAMA / 9pm / Sky Atlantic

Celeste’s custody battle with Mary Louise is in full

swing, but when the stressed mother takes the stand,

her friends worry that she’ll be quizzed over Perry’s

death. Madeline, Jane, Bonnie and Renata lend their

support, but Detective Quinlan is watching their every

move. Madeline is desperate to come clean to Ed, and

with Bonnie also fantasising about confessing, it seems

that the Monterey Five’s secret could come tumbling out

before we reach next week’s finale... HHHHHRM
