Highlights for 2010-09-07

00:20	Digging for Britain (BBC 2)
	How much do you know about the Anglo-Saxons? Not much, Ill bet. The paucity of written records left by the Germanic warrior tribes, who moved into Britain when the Romans left, explains why their period was traditionally labelled the Dark Ages. Naturally, the archaeologists Alice Roberts meets for tonights programme bridle at the term, and you can see why, given the gloriously crafted gold jewellery and artefacts the Anglo-Saxons left behind. We see plenty of the latter as Roberts visits digs and museums, and they offer a tantalising glimpse of a lost world, one riven by violence, given to feasting, and marked by truly awful dentistry. The artefacts are glorious - and Roberts offers enlightening context from the little history we do know. It makes you think: we had a Norman season recently - how about doing the Anglo-Saxons next?

00:45	Him and Her (BBC3)
	New series If you find the gentle relationship comedy of Roger and Val Have Just Got In a bit staid, Stefan Golaszewskis lewd and crude comedy should be more up your street. Russell Tovey stars as unemployed Jack-the-lad Steve, whose main preoccupation is having sex with his girlfriend, Becky (Sarah Solemani), in his grotty bedsit. When its not plumbing the depths, there are some good moments of bickering that will be recognisable to anyone whos ever been in a relationship. And just as natural that Steve - like most men - always manages to say the wrong thing. The chemistry between the two leads and its naturalistic tone gives Him & Hers filthy comedy a warm-hearted edge, though sometimes it pushes the naturalism too far - I really dont need to see Sarah Solemani going to the toilet, thanks. Radio Times reviewer - David Crawford
02:45	Doctor Who at the Proms 2010 (BBC3)
	After the success of the 2008 Doctor Who Prom, it was a no-brainer that thered soon be a follow-up, and this is quite a spectacle. Daleks, vampire ladies and other horrors invade the Albert Hall, while Karen Gillan (Amy) hosts the event, joined later by Arthur Darvill (Rory) and Matt Smith - both as himself and as the Doctor. Many complain that the music in Doctor Who drowns out the dialogue. Well, heres a chance to hear Murray Golds scores unimpeded by speech - bar the odd whoop from delighted fans. Somewhat patronisingly, this BBC3 edition omits all the classical pieces that peppered the July concert and, inevitably, overshadowed Golds sterling work. (A fuller version is on Friday at 7pm.) Radio Times reviewer - Patrick Mulkern
09:00	Team Umizoomi (Nick Jr)
	This animated show introduces pre-schoolers to counting, patterns and geometry. Cunningly, it imports real-life children into the cartoons to interact with Milli, her twin brother, Geo, and their best robot friend, Bot. Today, a childs lion toy has a mishap. Its engaging stuff that highlights the gangs mighty maths powers to a soft-rock soundtrack with some endearingly off-key singing. Radio Times reviewer - Geoff Ellis
13:45	Doctors (BBC 1)
	An intriguing two-part story starts today, in which Daniel (Matthew Chambers) agrees to mentor trainee doctor Michael (Sam Alexander) as a favour to smug consultant Peter Crossland (Bruce Alexander). But Michael is behaving strangely, and making some worrying medical decisions. Its obvious hes trying to hide a secret - and throughout both episodes we see scenes from a future disciplinary hearing. Meanwhile, Charlie (Philip McGough) cant stop drooling over the eccentric Elaine (Janet Dibley), while Heston (Owen Brenman) confides in Ruth (Selina Chilton) that he suspects Julia (Diane Keen) isnt coping. Radio Times reviewer - Jane Rackham
19:00	Live International Football (Sky Sports 2)
	Scotland face the easiest match of their campaign against Liechtenstein (kick-off 8.00pm), while England face the hardest, against Switzerland (kick-off 7.45pm) in Basle. Their win over Spain in the World Cup shows the Swiss are no mugs and they have a depressingly good defensive record. Even so, the high tempo, one-touch football of an England team firing on all cylinders ought to be too much for them. Scotland should be able to fill their boots against the minnows of Liechtenstein at Hampden Park. That said, the visitors have beaten Latvia and Iceland in previous European qualifiers... Radio Times reviewer - Geoff Ellis
19:30	Live International Football (Sky Sports 3)
	Scotland v Liechtenstein (Kick-off 8.00pm). Coverage of the Euro 2012 Group I qualifier at Hampden Park, Glasgow. This is the first time that these two nations have ever played against each other, and Craig Leveins men know that a victory is paramount to their hopes of making it to the tournament in two years time, even at this early stage. Following this encounter they face a daunting fixture away to the Czech Republic, followed by a home match against world champions Spain.
21:00	Eddie Waring: Mr Rugby League (BBC4)
	When live sport was sparse on TV, Eddie Warings richly idiosyncratic and entertaining commentary always accompanied rugby league. Waring was the fl amboyant personality whose fame threatened to become bigger than the sports. Some of its fans felt betrayed by the way he became a caricature northener to popularise the game. They even petitioned the BBC to send him for an early bath, a phrase Waring himself popularised. Heres his story, packed with clips carrying his "u-u-p and under-r-r" commentaries. Its nicely balanced and the clips have great charm, especially Warings appearances on light entertainment shows. Radio Times reviewer - Geoff Ellis
21:00	The Big School Lottery (BBC 2)
	Choosing a childs secondary school has become an angst-ridden part of parenting. But it has rarely been as crisply documented as in this series, following families in Birmingham over a crucial year as they apply for "big school". Birmingham is Europes largest education authority. In a given year, 15,000 primary-school children are bidding for places, in many cases taking 11-plus tests to get into one of the coveted state grammar schools. Watching the families can be agonising - Saffi yahs father drilling her on practice tests or Jamiahs gran wondering if hell be "bright enough" to make it at a mainly Asian school. Presiding over it all is admissions boss Julie Newbold. "Every single form that we get in - thats a child," she frets. "Thats an incredible amount of responsibility." Continues tomorrow at 9.00pm. Radio Times reviewer - David Butcher
21:00	CSI: Miami (Five)
	"These are box jellyfi sh - they can kill you, you know," Ryan tells us helpfully in the opening scene, which is set at a smart party taking place in an aquarium. So we all know whats going to happen next. Moments later, a janitor crashes through a glass balcony, dangles over the tank and finally loses his grip and plummets in. Its certainly a creative way to kill someone and, while the motive is intriguing, nothing can top the moment that poor chap falls to his stinging death. Meanwhile, in a subplot thats going to run over the next few episodes, Jesse appears to be stalking an icily beautiful woman, but is reluctant to explain to his colleagues whats going on. Radio Times reviewer - Jane Rackham
22:00	True Stories: My Beautiful Dacia (More4)
	Dacia is the national car manufacturer of Romania, whose cheap, easy-to-maintain runarounds have been a part of the countrys landscape since just before the start of the Ceausescu regime. This ponderous film, which stalls as many times as the cars themselves, tells the history of the cars in parallel to the history of the country itself. There are fascinating moments - the man ordered at gunpoint to drive the Ceausescus into hiding after the revolution; the shocking footage of the December uprising; and the funeral director whos converted his Dacia into a hearse - but its too enamoured of hypnotic scenes of Dacias driving along to fully grab the attention. Which is a shame, because it does contain a fine analysis of how Romania has struggled to adapt to democracy. Radio Times reviewer - David Crawford
22:00	Mercury Prize 2010: Live (BBC 2)
	2003 winner Dizzee Rascal hopes to be the fi rst artist to win this award twice. Chief among his rivals are indie newcomers the xx, who would be catapulted into the mainstream if they triumphed. Also up for the £20,000 prize is Paul Wellers Wake Up the Nation, his finest album yet, the critics claim. Youngster Laura Marling and Mumford & Sons represent the folk scene, while this years token jazz act is the Kit Downes Trio, who should by no means be discounted - the judges like to play the wild card. BBC 6 Music DJ Lauren Laverne presents live coverage and sets from Londons Covent Garden. Radio Times reviewer - Claire Webb
22:00	This Is England 86 (Channel 4)
	Shane Meadowss 2006 Bafta-winning film about a gang of early 1980s northern skinheads and their half-orphaned new recruit, 12-year-old Shaun, picks up their story three years on, in 1986. Thankfully, all the major cast members signed on for this four-part TV drama, including a nearly grown-up Thomas Turgoose (Shaun). The films fans wont feel let down. The new script has all the tenderness, depth and wry observations of the original. Woody (who appears to have pinched Paul Wellers hair and suit) and Lol are still together, Shaun has just left school, and most of the gang have graduated from crew cuts to bleached quiffs. The hairstyles may have evolved, but the groups composition is largely untouched. Shaun, however, stopped hanging out with them after that traumatising encounter with stormy king-thug Combo. Now, as when we fi rst met him, Shauns alone and might as well have "bully me" tattooed on his forehead. Radio Times reviewer - Ruth Margolis
23:05	La Bamba (BBC 1)
	Most pop biopics are tepid affairs, but the same cannot be said for director Luis Valdezs engrossing re-creation of Ritchie Valenss short life. Los Angeles band Los Lobos perform impassioned versions of the young mans songs, and their playing is mirrored by Lou Diamond Phillipss intense performance, which brings the 1950s rock n roll star to life with a lot of vibrant detail while generally avoiding the usual clichés of the genre. As Ritchies bad-boy half-brother, Esai Morales also contributes to the authenticity.
23:20	Mercury Prize 2010 (BBC 2)
	After the sneak previews in tonights earlier show, this is chance to see in full each of the performances from tonights 12 Mercury Prize nominees, including Mumford & Sons, the xx, the Villagers, Kit Downes Trio, Foals, Wild Beasts, and Laura Marling. With Lauren Laverne.
