ACTIVATE: THE GLOBAL

CITIZEN MOVEMENT

NAT GEO, 10pm

Hollywood megastar Hugh Jackman

has joined a call to eradicate extreme

poverty by 2030.

Deeply affected by the crisis, The

Greatest Showman actor is just one of

several celebs, including Usher and

Rachel Brosnahan, who has turned

activist to push the Global Citizen

Movement campaign.

Hugh says: “I was lucky enough to

be born into a situation where there

were basic necessities of life – food,

shelter, clothing and education were

fairly available to me. Nothing I did, I

just happened to get it. And then

there’s a billion people on the planet...

nothing they did – don’t get it.

“There is no reason why these

essential basics of life aren’t available

to everybody on the planet.”

In this affecting film, we hear from

some of the 700 million people who

live in extreme poverty in the world –

mothers crying that they can’t feed

their kids and children who’ve dropped

out of school to find work – as Hugh

rallies leaders to effect change.

LOOSE WOMEN

ITV, 12.30pm

Oh how we sniggered when we

heard there was a new panel

show called Loose Women – a

bold, cheeky title with an

all-female line-up.

That was 20 years ago.

The first show, back on

September 6, 1999, saw Nadia

Sawalha, Jane Moore, Kaye

Adams and Karren Brady sit

behind the now famous desk.

Over two decades the show

has gathered a loyal fan base,

launched award-winning mental

health and body confidence

campaigns, and the women have

interviewed everyone from Oprah

Winfrey to Whoopi Goldberg via

Nicola Sturgeon, Eva Longoria

and Sir Patrick Stewart.

Big name guest panellists have

included Goldie Hawn, Sharon

Osbourne and Mel B.

Today is an anniversary

celebration, with a bumper

number of Loose Women rotating

hosting duties, including Andrea

McLean, Christine Lampard and

Saira Khan.

Expect lots of nostalgia with

some on-air surprises too.

And the hosts will challenge

each other on their Loose Women

expert knowledge in a special

anniversary quiz.

GAME FOR A LAUGH

Jason Manford and

Catherine Tyldesley

SCARBOROUGH

BBC1, 9.30pm

KNOWING this new comedy has

been penned by the man who wrote

ITV’s brash and hugely popular

show Benidorm tells you everything

you might need to know about

Scarborough.

Following the cancellation of the

soapy Spanish comedy after 11 years, its

creator Derren Litten has turned his

attentions to the Yorkshire coast.

And aside from the weather, there are

plenty of similarities – namely the

seaside location, pubs and karaoke. In

fact, lots of the action takes place in

karaoke pub The Ship, with a hair salon

also a main focal point. But the faces are

a little less perma-tanned.

Comedian Jason Manford and ex

Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley take on

the leading roles, playing Mike and

Karen, back together five years after

they split up but still struggling.

Stephanie Cole gets the lion’s share of

the best one-liners as Marion, Karen’s

grumpy and cutting mother.

Elsewhere, Claire Sweeney is a breath

of fresh air as maneater Hayley, all

bouffant hair, leopard print and high-

waisted denim, while Jake Canuso – aka

Mateo to Benidorm fans – plays

Hayley’s wannabe gangster boyfriend

Tony Peroni. And Derren himself is The

Ship’s resident DJ, Jack.

This is very much end-of-the-pier

comedy with plenty of toilet humour

and characters like cartoons.

They obsess over curry pies, have

arguments in the arcade, and every

now and then someone belts out a hit

on the karaoke machine.

It’s life, love, friends and family, all at

soap opera comedy pace. It won’t be

everyone’s cup of Yorkshire, but if you

like Benidorm you’ll drink it up.

EASTENDERS

BBC1, 8pm

As a gunshot echoes around Albert Square,

events inside The Vic go from bad to worse with

someone’s life hanging in the balance. As

everything comes to a head, there’s at least one

fatality. But who won’t make it out alive?

Meanwhile, outside the pub, Bianca tries to talk

to Tiffany about everything that happened with

Evie but will Tiffany take on board what she has

to say? What a tragic week in Walford.

CORONATION STREET

ITV, 7.30pm and 8.30pm

There’s nothing like a wedding to kick-start

arguments. Daniel and Sinead are rowing

because she wants a more low-key affair, while

Daniel accuses her of putting her business first.

In a fury, he suggests they call it off.

Amy is keen to get to know her new sisters and

suggests inviting Emma round for tea.

And Ray has a proposal for Michelle about his

hotel restaurants that leave her flattered.
