Pick of the Day
Emily in Paris, Netflix
This show is absolute fluff, which makes it unmissable in these days of instant anger over everything and anything.
After the dramatic events of Camille and Gabriel’s misbegotten wedding, Emily is reeling.
She has strong feelings for two men, but now Gabriel’s expecting a baby with his ex, and Alfie’s worst fears about her and Gabriel have been confirmed.
At work, Sylvie is forced to confront a thorny dilemma from her past for the sake of her marriage, and the Agence Grateau team navigates personnel shakeups.
Mindy and the band prepare for Eurovision, but when funds run dry, they’re forced to get thrifty.
Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together towards a Michelin star, but two big secrets threaten to shatter their dreams.

Daddy Issues, 9.00pm, BBC Three
Here’s a new sitcom, starring Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey.
When hedonistic 24-year-old Gemma discovers she is pregnant after a one-night stand, she has no choice but to turn to her hapless father, Malcolm, for support.
A sweet-but-lost man in a domestic crisis, he must learn to rebuild his relationship with his daughter, though they soon find living together will prove difficult.
Then at 9.25pm, Gemma realises she needs more female support. After a chance encounter with an old friend, she agrees to go to a party to try to reconnect with girls from school.
She then suggests Malcolm finds a normal friend after Derek tries to convince him that close-up magic is the way to a woman's heart.
Who Do You Think You Are? 9.00pm, BBC One
For me, this show is all about the person who's in focus rather than the revelations that might be unearthed.
Line of Duty star Vicky McClure (above) comes across as a lovely person who oozes empathy, so I'll be glued to this.
She researches her ancestry, beginning by trying to find out why her paternal grandmother Nonna Jean was given up by her family when she was a child.
Vicky also looks into the background of her mother's grandfather Harry Millership, who died in a Japanese PoW camp in the Second World War.
