He has been a high-profile TV personality in the United Kingdom since the 1960s, presenting programmes such as Crackerjack, Aspel and Company, , while also trying to guess what they're worth. This week they're at Buxton in Derbyshire and among the finds are "quite the best pair of pistols" ever seen on the roadshow; a portrait that all men seem to fall in love with (not one of Madonna surely? ); an exciting yellow diamond worn for gardening and which could be worth pounds 10,000 and a valuable Steiff bear brought in by the owner. You could then do no worse than abandon all the other channels for the rest of the night and sign into Channel Four since they are starting an extremely promising series on Testing God (C4, 8pm) and then are weighing in with two absolutely cracking films with which they are hoping to lure you into their FilmFour subscription channel.

Then it's the first television showing of East Is East (C4, 9pm) which is the hilarious story of a Pakistani immigrant who with wife Ella is trying to run a chip shop as well as coping with their seven children who want to embrace the best (and worst) that the West has to offer. He wants to raise them in the Indian traditional way, although the real flaw in the film is that his wife is English and white which makes all his protestations about the traditional way seem rather hollow. Then it's To Live and Die in LA (C4, 10.55pm) which is a wonderfully realised thriller and contains the best car chase since that one in The French Connection. Snap on your seat belts. |
