A new series following the
heroic volunteer lifeboat crews
and lifeguards of the RNLI.
While last year’s outing featured
some foolhardy YouTubers who
needed rescuing, it seems the
digital generation has yet to
learn its lesson. Tonight, a tourist
nearly perishes from hypothermia
in the Thames after an attempt
at a selfi e goes terribly wrong.
Elsewhere, a father and daughter
are caught in a rip current, and
an Irish trawler is dashed to
the rocks. AJC
No More Boys And Girls: Can Our
Kids Go Gender Free? 9pm, BBC2
Could ditching the pink and blue
to create a “gender-neutral”
environment for a Year Three
primary school class move us
towards greater equality?
Dr Javid Abdelmoneim hopes
so, as he oversees a series
of interventions. The fi rst of
two programmes makes for
fascinating viewing, as simple
initiatives – meeting professionals
such as a female mechanic and a
male makeup artist – challenge
the children’s ideas. JWMilton Keynes and Me
9pm, BBC4
Roundabouts, concrete cows
and soullessness: such is the
reputation of Milton Keynes,
which turned 50 this year. Yet, as
fi lm-maker Richard Macer reminds
us, this was a town born partly
of utopian dreams, where young,
idealistic architects came to live
and where it was once decreed
no building should be taller than
the tallest tree. A doc that’s
infused with Macer’s ambivalence
about his hometown, yet also
makes a case for it. JWChannel 4 Channel 5 BBC4
