● COMEDY / 10pm / C4

NEW

The comedy

written by and

starring stand-up comic

and panel-show regular

Roisin Conaty returns

for a second series. In

tonight’s opener, Marcella

(Conaty) passes her

driving test, but instead

of thanking her driving

instructor and moving on,

she decides not to tell him,

just so she can continue to

see him. Might that not

drive him round the bend,

Marcella? HHHLB

War

Factories

● DOCUMENTARY /

8pm / Yesterday

NEW

Was World War

Tworeally won

in the factories, rather

than on the battlefields,

sea or in the skies? That’s

exactly what historians are

arguing here, and in this

first episode, we look at

the aviation side of WWII.

How did Germany lose the

war, despite the Luftwaffe

being the largest and best

equipped air force in the

world in 1939? HHHHLB

Wild Bill

● DRAMA / 9pm / ITV

LAST ONE

It seemed like a mad idea

• West Wing and former
  Brat Pack actor Rob Lowe fighting crime
  in Lincolnshire. But as this improbable-
  sounding series concludes entertainingly
  this week, pressure is really mounting on
  Chief Constable Bill Hixon to cut police
  numbers at East Lincolnshire Police Force.
  Bill’s got bigger fish to fry, though. He sets

about tracking down notorious hitman

Frank McGill after the bodies of five men

are found burning in a field, having been

shot in the head. When Bill realises that he

has even fewer allies in the force than

he thought, he decides that he’s going to

head off on a one-man mission in search

of the elusive Frank. Is Bill about to run

into danger? HHHHVW

The Supervet

● FACTUAL / 8pm / C4

LAST ONE

An hour at supervet Noel

Fitzpatrick’s clinic contains

more examples of the dramatic ‘paws’

(sorry) and high drama than a Casualty

cliffhanger! And tonight’s series closer

is no different. Rosco is a four-year-old

collie cross, who is a popular visitor to

local care homes – but he’s had to be

temporarily retired from his work because

of hip dysplasia. Can Noel relieve the

pooch’s pain at his state-of-the-art clinic

in Surrey and reunite Rosco with the

residents who dote on him? Also on the

treatment list tonight is a Siamese cat

who has multiple injuries after being hit

by a van. HHHHLB
