12 Dishes in 12 Hours by Big Zuu

10pm, ITV1

“People aspire to travel the world, but I am here to indulge in its cuisine.” Big Zuu is serious about his mission. In this fresh series, he and a famous guest (this time, the ravenous Will Poulter from the gaming industry) will explore a new city each week to savor its signature dishes. First up: Bologna, where they start the day with savory ragu, enjoy gelato as a mid-morning treat, and indulge in a variety of other delicacies throughout the day. There’s plenty of lively banter and some insights into local food traditions, but the real star is Zuu and his infectious enthusiasm. Phil Harrison

When Shirley Bassey sings Hey Jude, such is her extraordinary delivery that it sounds, frankly, like a threat: “Remember to let her under your skin” – or I’ll duff you up. This, and other classics, from My Way to The Way We Were and Copacabana are given the unique Tiger Bay treatment in this glorious collection. Ali Catterall

The monolithic joys of Monument Valley and star John Wayne are on full display in John Ford’s mature western. It’s a move away from the reductive “cowboys and Indians” template, giving depth to the cavalry’s ostensible enemies. Wayne’s captain Nathan Brittles is six days away from retirement when news of the defeat of Custer at Little Big Horn puts his fort on high alert. Using all his experience, Brittles manages his young troops and his commander’s wife and niece while avoiding sparking a pitched battle with Native American warriors. SW

Comedy Central’s 9pm showing of Tremors.

The unfortunate follow-ups (six movies and a television spin-off) should not take away from the enjoyable elements of this 1990 horror comedy. Following a classic western storyline, a group of individuals become stuck in a small town in the Nevada desert – except in this case, they are being attacked by giant, underground worms. Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward play the two men who discover that walking on the bare ground triggers these creatures to strike. Fortunately, they have a geology student and a survivalist couple in their group to help find solutions. SW

In the 2021 Spanish drama by Pedro Almodóvar, family secrets are uncovered in both the personal and national realms. This film showcases a remarkable performance by Penélope Cruz as Janis, a photographer who becomes pregnant by a forensic anthropologist investigating the victims of Franco’s forgotten civil war, including her own ancestors. The lives of Janis and the young Ana (Milena Smit) become intertwined when their newborns are accidentally swapped. While the political aspect of the story could have been given more attention, it still leaves a strong impact. SWAP
