Anton & Giovanni’s Adventures in Sicily
9pm, BBC One
Giovanni Pernice saying “Lovely jubbly!” in his thick Sicilian tones as he pours a cuppa. Anton Du Beke trying to explain what “budgie smugglers” are. Lots of Steps choreography. There are too many oddly golden moments to mention in this first episode of the dancers’ utterly charming road trip. Their first stop is Agrigento, home of the Valley of the Temples, where all that’s left to do in an empty ancient theatre is … dance. Hollie Richardson

Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled

This freewheeling chat format must be a nice change of pace from the brainiac booby traps of QI, and Alan Davies seems to genuinely enjoy steering the badinage between his quartet of guests.

Film choice
Sunset Boulevard, Tuesday, 6.05pm, Sky Cinema Greats
Not many films are narrated by a dead body floating in a swimming pool, but Billy Wilder’s 1950 film is a rare delight – a noirish thriller that is also a Hollywood drama and a meta-comedy about faded stardom starring an actual faded star. Gloria Swanson is a real trouper as Norma Desmond, holed up in a mansion with her butler – former director and ex-husband Max (played by Swanson’s erstwhile director Erich von Stroheim). Then William Holden’s hard-up screenwriter Joe Gillis turns up and her dreams of a comeback are, fatefully, revived. Simon Wardell
