Hide AdBBC Two’s new documentary series – made up of eight parts, airing weekly – aims to tell an alternate history of Britain, through the lens of popular art. This opening episode sees Michael Sheen perform a 7th century Welsh resistance poem, while sculptor Antony Gormley meets the 5th century clay figure the Spong Man.
Best of the Rest
Dragons’ Den
BBC One @ 8pm
The final episode of the current series of Dragons’ Den, which should be reliably entertaining as ever.
A League of their Own
Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Redknapp, and Romesh Ranganathan return for the sixth series of A League of Their Own.
Falklands War: The Forgotten Battle
ITV @ 9pm
Ben Fogle presents a documentary to mark the recent 40th anniversary of the Falklands War. An interesting counterpart to the recent Channel 4 documentary about the same.

Senzo: Murder of a Soccer Star
The thrilling five-part true crime documentary series delves into the beloved soccer star’s murder, sharing insight into what transpired that fateful night when Meyiwa was gunned down in what was alleged to be a botched robbery in 2014.
Streaming Choice
Queer as Folk
All4
With the recent news that Channel 4 is going to be privatised, why not take a look at a show they supported at a point no private broadcaster would’ve? Queer as Folk – about the lives and loves of Stuart, Vince, and Nathan – is probably the best thing Russell T Davies has ever written, or at least certainly the most RTD thing he’s ever written. It’s a really stunning debut for one of the biggest names in television, well-worth your time if you’ve not seen it yet.
