Inside Tatler: A Guide to British Posh

For more than 300 years, Tatler has been the UK's high-society bible, documenting and dictating the social calendar of the upper class.

For the first time, this three-part fly-on-the-wall docuseries steps through its gilded doors to gain access to the elite world it covers.

From hunting trips with Britain's most eligible dukes to lavish parties and iconic balls, not to mention going "toff hunting" in Scotland, the series reveals the complex layers of social etiquette – and the quintessential Britishness – that continues to define age-old lines of class and power to this day.

In the series premiere: We meet the editor, Kate Reardon, a self-confessed 'honking, great Sloane', and her features team, who are all expected to be well-versed in the rules of upper-class life.

We follow the newest addition to the Tatler team, writer Mathew Bell, over his first few months at the magazine as he tries to find his feet and go from middle-class outsider to privileged insider.

We see the team put together an issue, and follow them on shoots and key social events to meet the people featured in their pages, such as Lord Glasgow in his 13th-century castle in Scotland or Nigerian millionaire Kola Karim, who has no idea how many cars he owns.

Death in Paradise

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Comedy-Drama, Police Procedural

Death in Paradise

Death In Paradise is a fish-out-of-water story about a quintessential English cop posted to the Caribbean island of Saint-Marie.

To anyone else it would be paradise, but for Detective Inspector Richard Poole it's hell.

Totally unsuited to the Caribbean way of life, Richard hates the sun, sea and sand and isn't used to their style of policing.

But he is a brilliant detective whose first case on the island is investigating the murder of a British cop.

Working with the exotic local Camille, each week Richard goes about solving an intricate and intriguing murder.

DI Richard Poole is played by Ben Miller – quintessentially English, blisteringly intelligent, with a unique approach, if only he didn't hate sun, sea and sand...

Camille Bordey is played by Sara Martins – sexy, instinctive and straight-talking, she's a the perfect foil for Richard's genius.

Danny John-Jules plays Dwayne Myers – he may lack ambition, but he has complete faith in the chief and he really understands the criminal mind – perhaps a little too well.

Fidel Best is played by Gary Carr – young, keen and at times naïve, there's nothing he won't do for his friends – and his doggedness can prove vital in breaking a case.

Lenora Crichlow plays Lily Thomson – beautiful, warm, and calm in a crisis, Lily is the long-suffering rock at the heart of the Royal Saint-Marie Police force.

Commander Selwyn Patterson is played by Don Warrington – charming and unfailingly polite, Richard's boss shows he can bend the rules when it suits him... and that he has a terrible temper when riled.

My Family

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 19h30
Genre: Comedy

My Family

Meet the Harpers, a prefectly normal family. Or are they?

Father Ben is a dentist who'd like to see his children move out of the house as soon as possible because all he wants is peace and quiet.

His eldest son Nick - who later on in the series does move out - is a complete idiot and a no-good who can't hold on to any of the various jobs he has.

Daughter Janey is very shallow and not very picky when it comes to boys while son Michael is way too smart for Ben and doesn't feel the need to communicate much with his father.

His curious wife Susan clearly makes all the decisions in the household.

Later on in the series Ben gets an assistant at work, goofy and naive Roger, and when Janey finally moves out, no-brainer Abi moves in, while Janey keeps visiting, sometimes bringing along her little son, Kenzo.

So much for Ben's peace and quiet.

In the series premiere, "Serpent's Tooth": While Nick chats up a girl on the Internet, Michael's bought a pet rabbit which soon weaves its way into the family.
 

Top Gear 19

TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Motoring, Comedy

Top Gear 19

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May return for another collection of motoring adventures, ably assisted by their tame racing driver, The Stig.

This season sees the presenters undertake an incredible American roadtrip in iconic supercars, taking in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and a race against fighter planes before ending with a hair-raising run to the Mexican border.

Also, Jeremy invents the world's smallest car and tests it out on the streets of London, James finds out what the Bentley Continental GT Speed is like on a rally stage, and Richard reaches eye-popping speeds on the test track in another.

Top Gear also embarks on one of their legendary epic journeys, attempting to find the source of the River Nile using three rather tired estate cars and a sometimes sketchy knowledge of African geography.

Along the way they encounter crocodile-infested rivers, suspension snapping terrain and the world's worst traffic jam.

In the Season 19 premiere: Jeremy attempts to build a car that's even smaller than the famous Peel P50.

He then tests it out on the streets of London before putting his concept to the ultimate test of credibility in the fearsome Dragons' Den.

Meanwhile, James tests the latest Bentley Continental GT Speed by taking it on a rally stage and Richard is at the test track to unleash the sensational Pagani Huayra hypercar before handing it over to the Stig for the lap of its lifetime.

Homeland star Damian Lewis is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.
 

Africa with Ade Adepitan

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Travel

Africa with Ade Adepitan

Four-part series in which journalist and athlete Ade Adepitan travels across Africa, from West Africa and city of his birth - Lagos in Nigeria - through Central and Eastern Africa and on to the deep south of the continent.

Ade is on a journey to uncover how modern Africa is changing.

He will visit a vast array of contrasting places on the continent, each providing unique and surprising experiences, from the windswept beauty of Cape Verde to the streets of Mogadishu.

What happens in Africa in the next 50 years will shape all of our futures for the coming generations.

African population growth means migration to Europe could explode - but with life expectancy rising and child mortality shrinking, economic growth may transform some nations into Asian-style superpowers.

But the challenges are daunting for sub-Saharan Africa, and with dozens of different countries and cultures there are no generalisations that can hold for this endlessly fascinating continent.

From booming new tech hubs and megacities to pockets of conflict and poverty, Africa is the most vibrant and varied continent on Earth.
