Clive Myrie’s Italian Road Trip

Monday

BBC Two, 6.30pm

BBC News anchor Clive Myrie sheds his suit to become the latest TV travel agent for Italy. Everyone from Stanley Tucci to Danny Dyer has been commissioned a holiday there, but Myrie's series promises to bring his warmth and gravitas to the lesser known parts.

He starts in the south-eastern region of Puglia, an abandoned town transformed by the Bond franchise into a world heritage site. He also finds out why it's the gay holiday capital of Italy, and learns to play in a pizzica band.

Fatal Attraction

Tuesday

Channel 5, 10.00pm

Lizzy Caplan follows up her brilliant turn as the life-weary Libby in Fleishman is in Trouble with something a little more devilish.

Paramount has remade the highest-grossing film of 1987, Adrian Lyne's erotic thriller Fatal Attraction, casting Caplan as Alex Forrest, the famous femme fatale first brought to life by Glenn Close. Joshua Jackson will play Dan Gallagher, the married family man who Alex terrorises when he tries to end their brief affair.

Much has been made of the toxic "bunny boiler" stereotype the original film gave birth to, so it will be interesting to see how this ostensibly modern take proceeds.

Queen Charlotte

Thursday

Netflix

Shonda Rhimes continues her mission to modernise the period drama with a Bridgerton prequel exploring Queen Charlotte's origins. India Amarteifio plays the young Charlotte, who enters the royal family an outsider.

Although she is considered little more than a baby maker for King George (Corey Mylchreest) by her mother-in-law Priness Augusta (Michelle Fairley)—together the pair did have 15 children—she soon rises to power and shifts society.

Silo

Friday

Apple TV+

Another dystopian offering from Apple TV+, Silo faithfully adapts Hugh Howey's series of novels imagining a post-apocalyptic future in which humanity clings to survival in a giant, underground silo (which looks to have been built in all its brutalist beauty by CG and the designers).

The ten thousand inhabitants don't know why they're there, or why they can't leave. All they know is that they must live under the commandments of The Pact, or else they'll be thrown out into whatever danger awaits.

Slowly, however, a Sheriff and an engineer (played by David Oyelowo and Rebecca Ferguson), begin to uncover the truth in a gripping puzzle box of a series.

The Coronation of HM the King

Saturday

7.30am, BBC Two

The BBC gives the nation a front row seat to the Coronation of Charles III, with all of JJ Chalmers, Clara Amfo, Clare Balding, Huw Edwards, Kirsty Young, Sophie Raworth, Jordan Banjo and Anita Rani presenting.

The coverage will be split into three parts: The Preparation, The Coronation and The Celebration. In the first, guests including friends and colleagues of the royal couple join Young in the studio by Buckingham Palace, while a series of films will explore the King's passions and other presenters will report from key locations across the capital.

After the ceremony, which will include commentary from Edwards, the pageantry will continue as the newly crowned King Charles and Queen Camilla embark on the Coronation Procession.
