NightscreenPaul O’Grady’s Hollywood
8pm, Channel 4
Paul O’Grady’s presentational
style is more cosy chat than
Cahiers du Cinéma, but this is
an agreeable enough breeze
through aspects of Tinseltown’s
history. This week, Jonathan
Ross, Maureen Lipman and Celine
Dion all contribute as O’Grady
looks at musical numbers in fi lm,
taking in everything from Tommy
to Mary Poppins and The Rocky
Horror Picture Show. And then
there’s Disney, keeping the genre
alive in the 21st century. DSWorld Athletics Championships
6.30pm, BBC1
It’s the penultimate night of
this year’s championships, with
Gabby Logan hosting from the
London Stadium. There’s the
conclusion of the decathlon
with some javelin and 1500m
action in store, as well as the
fi nals of the women’s high jump
and 100m hurdles. But the main
events will, of course, be the fi nal
competitive track appearances
from Usain Bolt in the 4x100m
relay fi nals and the magnifi cent
Mo Farah in the 5,000m. BABBC1 BBC2 ITV
