What’s on TV tonight: what to watch on Wednesday 13 April, from Gazza to Moon Knight to Mary Berry

Here’s your guide to what’s on television on Wednesday 13 April, from a new football documentary, a Marvel superhero, and a Mary Berry cooking show.

I’ve highlighted a top pick for the evening, as well as suggested a streaming boxset to check out on All4 if nothing on normal television catches your eye tonight.

Top Pick

Gazza

BBC Two @ 9pm

The first half of two-part sports documentary Gazza airs on BBC Two, looking at how former footballer Paul Gascoigne was harassed by the tabloid press during his footballing heyday in the 90s.

Best of the Rest

Mary Berry’s Fantastic Feasts

BBC One @ 8pm

Mary Berry heads to everyone’s favourite capital city – Cardiff, obviously! – as she teaches novice cooks delicious recipes. Roman Kemp and Tom Read Wilson assist.

Chasing Trane: The Story of John Coltrane

Sky & NOW TV

This new music documentary charts the life of John Coltrane, the pioneering jazz composer and saxophonist. He was at the forefront of jazz music, working in the bebop and hard bop idioms (I don’t wholly understand what that means, but wouldn’t it be great to understand it? Hence watching the documentary, really).

Moon Knight

Disney+

Episode 3 of the latest Marvel superhero show arrives on Wednesday, with Oscar Isaac playing Marc Spector this week (in contrast to last week, when he was mostly playing Steven Grant – it’s a little complicated). Expect more slapstick fun as Moon Knight goes to Egypt.

Ice Age: Scrat Tales

Disney+

The little prehistoric squirrel guy from the Ice Age movies is still desperate to find that acorn, but he’s also a father now – this new series sees Scrat bond with Baby Scrat as they both battle to find that acorn. One for families. Or one for kids, maybe.

What’s new on Netflix today?

Our Great National Parks (Season 1)

An epic five-part series narrated by President Barack Obama that invites viewers to celebrate and discover the power of our planet’s greatest national parks and wild spaces. (Presumably it’s mostly going to be American national parks, though.)

Streaming Choice

Defending the Guilty

BBC iPlayer

Defending the Guilty focuses on a group of four trainee barristers in competition for permanent tenancy at the chambers, caught between strained friendship and obvious rivalry. Sometimes described as “The Thick of It but with lawyers”, that implies something far more caustic and acerbic than Defending the Guilty – which, in reality, is a far more charming, indeed often quite sweet, comedy than that analogy suggests. Will Sharpe and Katherine Parkinson star.
