In Libya, meanwhile, Rajib (Ahad Raza Mir) butts heads with the British officers.
The sprawling wartime drama continues as Kasia (Zofia Wichlacz) goes on her first assignment under James’s (Mark Bonnar) guidance – she must shadow a Polish woman at a Manchester aircraft factory who is suspected of sending tips to the Nazis. Ryan Bancroft conducts as they also perform Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 5. Pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason (the eldest of the prodigiously gifted musical family) makes her solo Proms debut with Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No 3, with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. In the first of a three-part series about some of the world’s most endangered species, the explorer heads to Borneo (later episodes are in Namibia and East Greenland), where he finds that deforestation and poaching have halved the apes’ population over the past 60 years. VLĪ new series of the highly watchable poke behind the scenes of the world’s hotels as Monica Galetti and new co-presenter Robert Rinder – replacing Giles Coren – visit Kasbah Tamadot in Morocco’s Atlas mountains. After six episodes, the last one standing will win £100,000. One admits they “get lost around Tesco”, while another says: “Now I’m here, I realise it’s a bit intimidating.” Well, yes, you could say that. The producers have chosen not only hardy types who like testing their limits but some scaredy-cats too. The contestants – whose ages range from 19 to 58 – don’t have wilderness or survival experts such as Bear Grylls or Jason Fox on hand to help, and in tonight’s opener we see them all race to put up shelters and light fires before sunset, after which they are left in complete darkness.
Dangerous bears, cougars and wolves roam the forests of the region and the contestants have to fend for themselves while equipped with only basic tools and camera equipment and limited food supplies. No celebrities, just 11 “ordinary men and women” dropped separately – miles apart – into what the producers call “one of the most hostile places on Earth” in remote northwest Canada. If you watch I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and scoff at the “privations” that the contestants suffer, this gripping survival series (a British version of the US original) may be for you.
