Monday: The Affair, Season 3

Sky Atlantic, 9pm

Roald Dahl’s Most Marvellous Book, hosted by David Walliams, will see Stephen Spielberg, Julie Walters, Richard Curtis and a host of other stars make the case for their favourite Dahl books.

The show will also have a competitive element – after hearing from the celebrities, the public will be called to vote for their favourite Dahl book via Twitter, with the winner announced at the end of the show.

The broadcaster has enlisted top comedians David Walliams, Adil Ray, and Kerry Howard, among others, to encourage school pupils aged 13 to 15 years to start writing original comedy material. Entered under one of three categories - Stand-up, Sketch, and Caption - the best material will be filmed and broadcast by the BBC later this year. 

The year is coming to an end, it is time to remember fondly the past year’s television treats, and look forward to what 2016 will bring in TV entertainment.
