Without doubt, EastEnders is going to be well worth watching next week as the fallout over Archie’s treachery and Danielle’s death continues to haunt the Square. But what else is worth watching? Let’s have a squiz…

Monday

The Hoff: When Scott Came To Stay at 10:00pm on Living. This two-part documentary follows Radio One DJ Scott Mills who spent four days living with David Hasselhoff, the rather loopy ex-star of Knight Rider and Baywatch.

I’m not entirely sure why he did so, but it should be worth a look… The Hoff is weird these days!

Also on Monday is The Kindertransport Story at 10:35pm on BBC1.

Lord Richard Attenborough narrates the emotive and moving story of the British rescue mission to save almost 10,000 children – most of whom were Jewish – from the invading Nazis.

Attenborough’s parents were among those kind souls who responded to the urgent appeal for foster families for these displaced children and the two girls they took in became a part of the Attenborough family.

Additionally, three of the rescued children – who are now in their eighties – tell their emotional stories and describe the terrible persecution of the Jews under Hitler and the challenges they faced when they moved to Britain.

Tuesday

The Hospital at 9:00pm on Channel 4 is a fascinating documentary that was filmed in the accident and emergency wards of two Midlands hospitals. This episode highlights the alcohol-related casualties and fatalities that are pushing NHS staff to the limits of their endurance on a weekly basis.

Thanks to the principle of free healthcare at the point of delivery, none of the young patients know how much their care costs the NHS – but the real price of a night out can be high, and the seriously ill are often forced to compete with the casualties of a binge-drinking epidemic.

For the doctors and nurses on the frontline, left to pick up the pieces of a generation that some are calling a health time-bomb, there are no easy answers.

Also on Tuesday, Addicted to Evil is on Sky1 at 10:00pm.

Samantha Harris explores the reasons why some women fall in love with men convicted of violent crimes such as murder and rape, including Veronica Compton’s relationship with Kenneth Bianchi, otherwise known as the Hillside Strangler.

It also features an interview with Sheila Isenberg, author of Women Who Love Men Who Kill.

Wednesday

Our first pick for Wednesday is Extraordinary People: The World’s Heaviest Man Gets Married on Five at 9:00pm.

In this edition we revisit the morbidly obese Mexican Manuel Uribe as he prepares for the biggest day of his life, his wedding.

Weighing in at 560kg, he earned the dubious title of the world’s heaviest man in 2006. Manuel has since shed some weight, found love and is now due to marry.

Next, Guantanamo’s Secrets at 9:00pm on National Geographic is a fascinating insight into this notorious prison.

Filmed prior to Guantanamo prison’s closure – and for the first time in the facility’s history – film-makers were granted unprecedented access to film ‘inside the wire’.

Featuring interviews with former prisoners as well as high-ranking US officials, this documentary sheds light on the daily workings of the prison, discovering what life inside was really like.

Thursday

Another disturbing documentary, The Truth about Online Anorexia is on ITV1 at 9:00pm in which presenter and DJ Fearne Cotton investigates the appalling world of pro-anorexia websites where young girls can share ‘diet tips’ and also encourage each other in their quest to be super skinny.

Fearne puts her own normal diet of healthy eating on hold to expose the dangers of extreme dieting by trying two crash diets herself. She also meets a mother who lost her teenage daughter to anorexia and she talks to an anorexia survivor. Additionally, she interviews Marjorie Wallace of the mental health charity SANE and a young woman who runs a ‘pro-ana’ website.

The Millionaire and the Murder Mansion at 9:00pm on Channel 4 tells the background story of what happened at the Shropshire home of millionaire Christopher Foster last summer. The police were initially faced with several conspiracy theories about what happened to the family.

However, the discovery that the family’s horses and dogs had been shot through the head and left to burn made police realise this wasn’t a tragic accident but a shocking and premeditated act. Although we now know that it was debt that drove Foster to commit this horrific crime, it’s still hard to understand how an apparently doting husband and father could deliberately and calmly wipe out his entire family.

Watching the progress of the investigation, carried out against the backdrop of the blackened ruin, is morbidly fascinating but the real emotional aftermath transpires during an interview with Foster’s mother as she struggles to comprehend what her son did.

Friday

Weekends are for films aren’t they and our first recommendation is from the Brit Flick Season, the movie, Children of Men which is on at 10:30pm on ITV4.

This futuristic thriller depicts England under totalitarian rule as global infertility leaves the human race on the brink of extinction. However, hope arrives in the form of a refugee whose miraculous pregnancy makes her the most important person on earth… Here’s a trailer for this brilliant film…

Next up is a rather cheerier film, Wedding Crashers at10:00pm on Channel 4.

Guided by a set of “wedding crashing rules,” Washington, D.C. divorce mediators John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey can charm their way into any wedding – and into the hearts of every bridesmaid – for one night.

However, at the biggest social event of the year, John breaks the rules and falls for Claire Cleary, the daughter of the United States Secretary of Treasury William Cleary while Jeremy is left at the mercy of her “stage-five-clinger” sex-crazed sister Gloria. Being there for his buddy, Jeremy follows John to the family’s huge estate for a weekend that may even be too wild for these professional party animals… Here’s the film’s trailer

Saturday

A brand new series of Britain’s Got Talent starts tonight at 7:45pm on ITV1. And as always, the lovely Ant and Dec present the talent show where any act of any age gets the chance to impress the judges and potentially win a spot on this year’s Royal Variety Performance.

Judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden are there waiting to be impressed or to issue forth nasty criticism if required while all the performers will be hoping to beat the dreaded buzzers.

Our next recommendation is the brilliant film, Meet the Fockers which is on at 10:10pm on BBC3. This is one of my all-time favourite films which is the sequel to ‘Meet the Parents.’

Gaylord Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) has finally invited his fiancée’s parents, ex-CIA agent Jack Byrnes and his wife Dina (Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner) to meet his parents. Jack wants to know if Greg came from a good gene pool but what Jack discovers is that the Fockers are very weird…

The Dad, Bernard (Dustin Hoffman) is a hippie and retired lawyer, and the mother, Roz (Barbara Streisand) is an open sex therapist who brings her work home. Jack begins to thinks this is not a good family for his daughter to marry into while Greg’s parents are so proud of Greg that they have a wall of honor that lists all Greg’s achievements – fun and mayhem as well as fabulously funny lines and acting. Here’s a snippet from it…

Sunday

This fascinating documentary, Fighter Pilot: Afghanistan, is at 8:00pm on ITV4 which follows the pilots of Naval Strike Wing and IV Squadron RAF during their operations in Afghanistan as they provide close air support for troops on the ground.

Featuring in-cockpit footage of the pilots attacking and bombing enemy positions and their training in the UK prior to their deployment to Kandahar.

And finally, Shroud of Christ? At 10:00pm on More4 attempts to unravel the mystery of the Shroud of Turin.

Over the past several centuries, every movement, study and display of the cloth has been the subject of intense scrutiny and meticulous documentation.

But the early history of the famed Christian relic is – and perhaps always will be – veiled in mystery.

That’s it for this week. Have a good one and we’ll see you here next week!
