Extraordinary Journeys with Simon Reeve.

8pm, BBC Two

Reeve has been confined to his sofa for the the greater part of this earlier

12 months, just like the rest of us, and so this new series supplies some

welcome wanderlust in revisiting clips from the quite a few journeys he has

taken in excess of the final 15 years. This opening instalment focuses on the

people he has achieved on his travels, such as the courageous Burmese human

rights campaigner who led him undercover into the state in 2010, as

effectively as an psychological come across with a Bangladeshi baby employee. Ammar Kalia

Billionaire Cruise Ship: Paradise Island

7pm, Channel 4

The non-public island of Ocean Cay in the Bahamas is an unspoiled

tropical paradise – until 5,000 passengers are transported in on a luxurious

cruise. As workers feed, clear and dance to provide the calls for of their

boss, they also recruit locals to set up a not-extremely-authentic craft

sector for the travelers. Hannah Verdier

The Trump Clearly show: The Downfall

9pm, BBC Two

The remaining days of Trump’s presidency were just as measured as the

preceding 4 a long time. Just before November’s election, this sequence tracked

the Trump shambles as it unfolded. With The us on the cusp of a saner

period, it returns for a rummage via the rubble of US democracy. Phil Harrison

Finding Alice

9pm, ITV

After the cosy chaos of the Durrells, Keeley Hawes’s most current ITV

task is an off-kilter delight, veering from authentically uncooked grief

to goofiness via some blackly comic just one-liners. Episode two of the

sequence sees Alice (Hawes) grappling with her late spouse Harry’s

secrets and recoiling from standard funeral ideas. Graeme Virtue

Lance

10pm, BBC Two

This two-portion doc on the lifestyle and occupation of bicycle owner Lance Armstrong

provides a interesting insight into the aspects that led him to develop into

a celebrated and then disgraced athlete. Armstrong himself options

prominently, recounting how his stepfather to begin with pushed him to

contend even when he was underage. AK

11pm, Channel 4

Walter Presents’ initial Finnish screening: a dark detective drama

Election, 12midnight, BBC One

This wickedly funny comedy about the election of a scholar council

president at a US superior college has a pretty cruel get on the

shakiness of the democratic method. Supervising the campaign is

teacher Matthew Broderick, who’s desperate to see Reese Witherspoon’s

corrupt manipulator Tracy Flick drop. Paul Howlett
