Film Colette
BBC2, 11.15pmKeira Knightley stars
in the story of the
pioneering French
novelist Colette’s
liberating journey away
from the controlling
Henry Gauthier-Villars
(Dominic West), who
colonises her talents.
It’s tonally uneven but
the performances are
fine. (15, 2018)Tim Key’s mildly idiotic
witchfinder Bannister
and Thomasine, the
woman he has accused
of witchcraft, played
by Daisy May Cooper
with a gobby air similar
to the one she displays
in her comedy This
Country. As civil war
rages, an encounter
with some drunken
Cavalier soldiers might
just stop their journey
in its tracks.The Witchfinder
BBC2, 10pmThis strange comedy
about 17th-century
witch-hunting
continues to be in
questionable taste, but
seems finally to have
found its purpose. The
opener shown last week
was clearly designed to
set this up as an odd-
couple road movie (on
horseback) involvingepisode he pays her
another house call and
discovers why she has
moved continents to
set up home in the
Norwegian forest. With
winter arriving and
temperatures below
zero, Vilden isn’t
making life any easier
for herself: one of her
first challenges is
getting through the
winter without using
any metal technology.New Lives in
the Wild
Channel 5, 9pmWhen Ben Fogle visited
the incomparable Lynx
Vilden in the wilds of
Washington state in
2016 she had already
spent 25 years living the
prehistoric life, eating
bear fat, hunting with
bow and arrows, and
sleeping under buffalo
skin. In tonight’sRock Till We Drop
BBC2, 9pmIt’s episode three of the
rock reality show and
the wrinkly hopefuls’
mentors, Martin Kemp
and Lady Leshurr,
know that their bands
need to start improving
if they are to stand any
chance of performing
live at the Isle of Wight
Festival. Martin’s outfit
gets an immediate liftas their new drummer,
79-year-old Barry,
impresses as Roy’s
replacement. However,
there are problems
with Lady Leshurr’s
line-up as the
77-year-old lead
singer, Bette, is refusing
to sing her song choice
— Coldplay’s Viva la
Vida — because she
says she doesn’t
understand the lyrics.
