Radio Times associate editor David Butcher picks out TV treats for the week ahead plus, as always, a show to avoid. He highlights not one but two sci-fi comedies – both seriously funny – as well as sharp new series from Lucy Worsley and Simon Schama. Also in the mix are Claudia Winkleman, Jimi Hendrix, and yet another string to the bow of the busiest man on TV, Romesh Ranganathan.
