TENSION Martin

with Stacey, Lily,

Mo and Hope

EASTENDERS

BBC1, 7.30pm

Keanu is shocked when he realises that Phil is

still involved with dodgy business contacts and

asks him to back off. But when he ignores him,

Keanu makes his own plans leaving Phil raging.

Meanwhile, it’s Martin’s birthday but there’s

still tension between him and Stacey, and he’s in

no mood to celebrate. Kush takes him out for a

drink, but everything goes from bad to worse.

Later on, events catch up with Phil and he

finds himself in a dangerous fight.

INSIDE THE FACTORY

BBC2, 8pm

Gregg Wallace in a hair net signals

the return of this fascinating, stat-

packed series.

And this opener is a corker –

following a day in the making of a

Cherry Bakewell.

At a bakery in Stoke-on-Trent, they

produce 250,000 of the cherry-topped

tarts every day, with the Mr Kipling

favourite a best seller.

From the arrival of 27 tons of flour

right through to meeting a crack team

of 12 that carefully pops each cherry

on top of the tarts by hand, Gregg is

there every step of the way.

Meanwhile, historian Ruth Goodman

sniffs out the origins of the Cherry

Bakewell’s key ingredient, frangipane.

And listen up, fact fans, the fragrant

almond filling was born out of a

perfume used to disguise the foul

smells of 17th-century Paris.

We also discover how the tart is

actually the result of a recipe mistake.

Elsewhere, Cherry Healey learns

how to swerve a soggy bottom when

home baking.

Mary Berry would be proud...

THREATENED

Indian tigers

COUNTING TIGERS: A

SURVIVAL SPECIAL

ITV, 9pm

“The tiger is perhaps the most

majestic animal on our planet, but

we’ve pushed it to the very edge

of extinction,” says Joanna

Lumley, and we’re already

hanging on her every word.

She narrates this special that

follows India’s first ever fully

scientific tiger count.

The stakes are high. It’s

believed there are fewer than

4,000 left in the wild.

Two are killed every week by

poachers, with their cubs left

orphaned and struggling.

With India home to around

60% of tigers, the country counts

them every four years. The

figures are about to be released –

but will they be up or down?

This film follows wildlife

campaigner Martin Hughes-

Games as he tracks the count

from start to finish and experts

use thousands of tiger images,

capturing their stripes – like

fingerprints – to identify them.

Martin admits: “It’s becoming

more difficult for the tiger to

survive in this country.”

Chefs on a

knife-edge

TALENT Jason only

wants the creme de la

creme for his brigade

THE CHEF’S BRIGADE

BBC2, 9pm

KITCHEN-based shows are often

very serious. You know the drill –

lots of yelling, crying, hugging

and everyone getting into a hot,

sweaty, stressed-out mess.

This latest concoction is no

exception. It sees Michelin-starred chef

Jason Atherton on a mission to take a

team of raw cooking talent and turn

them into a chef ’s brigade. But what is

a chef ’s brigade you may wonder?

Jason explains: “I’m obsessed with

food. It’s my life, it’s who I am. But if you

want to make world-class food, it’s never

about one individual, it’s always about

building a team. And in the kitchen,

that team is known as the brigade.”

Jason has four Michelin stars and 18

restaurants. Putting these teams

together is what he does for a living

and he’s deadly serious about getting

this right.

He’s handpicked some chefs who

have raw talent but only basic skills.

After a few weeks they will be

competing with the brigades at Europe’s

finest restaurants. Cue the drama.

On meeting these chefs, they are

mostly young, wide-eyed and slightly

scared. Some have never been abroad

before and they’ve certainly never eaten

in top restaurants.

Jason whisks them straight off to a

posh restaurant in Italy before they’ve

even started.

They will have four days to get up to

standard and cook with the head

chef there.

Gin-infused cuttlefish anyone? Surely

that will be a breeze to whip up.

It’s all quite stressful and will build

towards a final showdown against those

bastions of fine dining, the French. The

knives are out.
