The Directors


● FACTUAL / 8pm / Sky Arts


Stanley Donen is in the spotlight this week, a director
who embodied Hollywood’s golden age. Singin’ in the
Rain, Charade and On the Town are the most obvious
standouts in a long career and life – he died earlier this
year aged 94. But Donen also made the promo for Lionel
Richie’s Dancing on the Ceiling, inspired by that scene in
Royal Wedding when Donen had Fred Astaire dance up
the walls and into musical history. HHHHSM

I Am the Night


● DRAMA / 9pm / Alibi

journalist in 1965 LA whose investigation brings him into
contact with a girl from a small town in Nevada. She’s
looking into her past and embarks on what turns out to be
a dangerous journey of discovery... HHHHJL

Ross Kemp meets


the youngsters


spending their


childhood as carers


● REAL LIFE / 7.30pm / ITV


In the second of this Living


with... series, Ross Kemp looks


at the issues facing young
carers – 800,000 children in

the UK are looking after sick
relatives. He finds that

although the youngsters are
saving the NHS lots of money,

it’s a ‘postcode lottery’ when it
comes to getting funding for

themselves. Ross meets some


of the young carers, including a
15-year-old who looks after her

schizophrenic mother and a
much younger Ali, who cares

for his sister, who has cerebral
palsy and visual impairment.

‘There’s a whole generation of


kids who are losing their
childhood,’ says Ross, who has

revealed that this Living with...
episode, which he thinks is the

best of the series, made him
very emotional. HHHHRF
