New Elizabethans With Andrew Marr

9pm, BBC Two

Andrew Marr presents his new series examining the lives of remarkable British people spanning Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, from 1952 onwards. Taking his cue from Churchill’s observation that the Queen’s coronation would spark “a new Elizabethan era”, Marr begins his account with an exploration of how in the 1950s a patriarchal, class-obsessed society was somewhat dismantled by the increasing visibility of figures such as the transgender journalist Jan Morris and actor Diana Dors, risque in her time.

Ali Catterall

Taskmaster

9pm, Channel 4

Jack Seale
