TV picks, day by day: Have they got an audience for us?

On demand

Dick Johnson is Dead (Netflix, from Fri)

Acclaimed cinematographer and film-maker Kirsten Johnson has worked on numerous acclaimed projects over the years. Dick Johnson is Kirsten's father. He's also a retired clinical psychiatrist suffering from dementia. The idea for the film came to her in a dream and sees her involving Dick in fantasy stagings of his death. That may sound bizarre, but the result is a rather moving attempt of a loving daughter to buy more time with her dad while exploring how film can help us deal with some of life's most difficult moments.

Us (BBC1, 9.00pm)

Unfortunately the hotel does’t quite live up to expectations (and may well be a brothel) and there’s a huge fight over breakfast that looks set to, once again, derail the whole trip. The fact that Albie has arranged for Kat to follow them from Paris only adds to the chaos.

The 59th series of HIGNFY, which was broadcast at the height of lockdown was more remarkable than any of the others, and without an audience to laugh at the jokes, it's safe to say not all viewers were impressed by the experiment.

Best of all, it has been announced that there will hopefully be a live (reduced-in-size) audience.
