Easter Week TV
David Attenborough explores 'Life in the Freezer Season'.
Holiday seasons are sometimes marked by general moaning about what’s on the box but this year, Easter TV is looking promising.
The Easter weekend sees the return of some old favourites in the shape of ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Jonathon Creek’. ‘Doctor Who’ returns to BBC1 on Saturday 3rd April, albeit in a new guise. Following regeneration into his new self, The Doctor is once again on a mission to save the world, despite the Tardis being in ruins. It also sees the arrival of his new sidekick, namely Amy Pond. On Sunday, the ever-popular Alan Davies returns to the small screen in the mystery drama ‘Jonathan Creek’ to unravel a case surrounding a Victorian sorceress.
If it’s a film you’re after then ‘Layer Cake’ – on Easter Sunday evening – is worth a watch. Starring Sienna Miller and Daniel Craig, this gritty Brit flick is quick, slick and engaging.
In terms of wildlife and animals, there is a range of programmes to choose from: from the light-hearted ‘Liza and Huey's Pet Nation’ featuring Liza Tarbuck, Huey Morgan and Bill Bailey, in which canine IQ is put to the test, to the more serious ‘Museum of Life’ on BBC2. In the latter, Jimmy Doherty accesses all areas at the Natural History Museum and explores the extents people go to in order to get new species into the collection. On Easter Monday, David Attenborough presents ‘Life in the Freezer Season’, which introduces the wildlife of Antarctica.
