THE TRIP TO GREECE

Sky One, 10pm

Part travelogue, part comedy, partly

two men bickering like an old married

couple – this is a trip like no other.

If you’re a fan of comedians Steve

Coogan and Rob Brydon, this is simply

joyous as they take on another road

trip and have much to talk about.

This time they’re in Greece, the

birthplace of democracy, at a time

when it seems it’s all people want to

talk about. They visit beautiful

locations, and there is the odd mention

of culture or history. But mainly, this is

two old mates fine-dining their way

around Greece and doing lots of

impersonations – Michael Caine, the

Elephant Man, Stan Laurel to name

a few.

Occasionally, Rob will ask Steve to

pose for a photo: “Do an Aha!”

Even more occasionally, they’ll

agree on something. For example, that

Steve looks better now that he’s older.

“You were unpalatable as a young

man,” adds Rob. Well, there’s no

odyssey without conflict.

BBC1, 10.35pm

Four fabulous young people take on

the mega-machine that is the

beauty business in this bare-all

investigation.

“We’ll meet the movers, the

makers and the victims,” they say,

preparing to confront this

notoriously secretive industry.

The group consists of Chloe, 21, a

make-up artist and influencer with

100,000 Instagram followers;

Casey, 25, keen to be the male

representative; Resh, 23, who sees

make-up as a lifeline following

an acid attack on her 21st

birthday; and 21-year-old Queenie,

who has very little interest in

make-up.

They’ll spend two weeks in LA,

meeting manufacturers, influencers

and critics to find out the secrets

lurking in their cosmetic bags.

Beginning at Beautycon, the

beauty event of the year attended

by 30,000 people, it starts with

celebration.

But later, a visit to rural Mexico

reveals how one so-called ethical

product may have some wider

exploitation issues.

A fascinating insight from

different perspectives – all episodes

are available on BBC iPlayer.

FIGHTING THE FlOOds

ITV, 9pm

WHAT with Storms Ciara, Dennis and

Jorge arriving in quick succession,

floods, snow and general climate chaos,

it seems Britain is being battered by

ever more extreme weather.

This in-depth film takes a look at the

recent devastation, visiting the country’s

hardest hit towns and villages.

There’s dramatic footage of flooded-out

residents being evacuated from communities

including Mytholmroyd in West Yorkshire

and Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire.

A £30million flood defence scheme in

Mytholmroyd wasn’t due to be completed

until this summer, so when Storm Ciara hit

in early February, it was quickly deluged in

water.

Roger Benn, a travel agent in the village,

says: “It’s frightening, you know you can’t get

out. We’ve got windows you can jump out of,

but what do you jump into? Six foot of torrent

that’s going to sweep you away into the river.

So you’re trapped inside.”

Meanwhile, in Tenbury Wells, where river

levels reach unprecedented levels, one family

• Peter, Helen and their teenage daughter
  Abbey – have been advised to evacuate but
  can’t decide whether to.
  In Fishlake, South Yorkshire, which flooded
  in November, residents are dealing with
  irreparable damage.
  Practice nurse Sandra Liddle says: “We’re
  left with a shell. It’s not our home any more.”
  It’s a shocking insight into what people are
  dealing with in certain parts of the country.
  The film also follows staff from the
  Environment Agency as they attempt to stop
  the flow. But as people brace for more storms,
  it’s a tidal wave of bad news that shows no
  signs of slowing.
