One of the TV hits of the first lockdown saw the Turner prize winner Grayson Perry and his wife, the psychotherapist Philippa, enlist celebrity pals to encourage the public to get crafting while they were at home, ultimately putting together an exhibition – yet to open in Manchester – of the series’ finest works. In the first of a new series, the pair are joined by the singer Boy George, who creates a work inspired by his family, while the artist Yinka Ilori discusses how his situational work investigates his British and Nigerian heritage.

Hannah J Davies

The Graham Norton Show

Actors of every stripe grace Graham’s sofa this evening: Kate Winslet has another romantic role in a period drama, Stanley Tucci will (hopefully) demonstrate his negroni-mixing once more and the British star Kingsley Ben-Adir reflects on his recent success. Plus: music from Silk City. Ellen E Jones

Film choice

The Age of Innocence (Martin Scorsese, 1993), 3.35pm, Sky Cinema Greats
The film that proved Martin Scorsese could do period dramas as well as mob tales, though the rule-bound society of 1870s New York isn’t too distant from mafia life. Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer are the forbidden lovers in a glossy but restrained 1993 Edith Wharton adaptation. Simon Wardell
