‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in

possession of brains must be in want of more brains.’ Yes,

it really is a welding together of Jane Austen’s much-loved

romance and a shuffling zombie flick. And though it’s a

one-joke movie, it’s done very well, and Lily James, Sam

Riley and gang play it absolutely dead straight. ★★★ SM

Take a behind-the-
scenes tour of some
of the best-known
sacred monuments
● FACTUAL / 9pm / BBC1
NEW
Many of the
world’s famous
landmarks have
been built in the name of
religion and there’s a look at
some of the best known in this
beautifully shot series. At
Angkor Wat, Cambodia,
dedicated Buddhist gardeners
regularly climb to the top of the
65 m towers barefoot and with
no safety equipment to remove
saplings that threaten the
ancient structure. Meanwhile,
in Jerusalem, thousands of
worshippers at the Al-Aqsa
Mosque mark the end of
Ramadan, risking collapse
through hunger or dehydration
along the way. There’s also
a look at the Virgen de la
Esperanza in Spain and China’s
famous Shaolin Temple, home
of Kung Fu. ★★★★ HD
