ITV HUB ★★★

Ben Miller plays a socially awkward academic who helps the police in ITV’S flattened adaptation of the nuanced Belgian drama, which you can find on All 4.

FOSSE/VERDON BBC IPLAYER ★★★★ All eight episodes of this superb drama are available on iplayer. It uses flashbacks to jump around in the complex relationship of choreographer Bob Fosse and dancer Gwen Verdon – Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams are both brilliant in the leads.

DOCUMENTARY

UPRISING BBC IPLAYER ★★★★★

In a raw and powerful series, the Oscarwinning director Steve Mcqueen (12 Years A Slave) takes us back to 1981 to examine a key year in the history of the black British community. In January of that year, the New Cross fire left 13 young black people dead, and pushed already simmering racial tensions to boiling point.

It would have been Les Dawson’s 90th birthday on February 2, and this warm documentary celebration marks that occasion. It features previously unseen family footage, plus tributes from a long list of famous fans and friends – including Gloria Hunniford and Ruth Madoc – and reflections from his wife and daughter.
