SCI-FI ADVENTURE On now, on demand, Disney+ ★★★★ After a slew of increasingly poor sequels (culminating in Tim Burton’s woeful take in 2001), a rebooted vision, starting with Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011, proved there was plenty of life in this franchise yet. Mostly seen from the point of view of the apes, the three films (Rise…, Dawn… and War…) followed talking chimpanzee Caesar as he tried to create a world where both humans and his kind could live together. Now we’re back after that trilogy, this time set many generations after Caesar’s death and with young chimp Noa (Owen Teague) as our protagonist. After his clan is terrorised and captured by some war-like apes, he journeys to find his tribe, accompanied by a wise orangutan…

NEW FACTUAL Who Do You Think You Are? Thursday, 9pm, BBC1 Vicky McClure’s quest to unravel the truth behind two tragic family stories proves to be both harrowing and rewarding in the opening episode of the new run of BBC1’s Who Do You Think You Are?, which is marking its 20th anniversary. ‘For all the action-packed shows I do and the fact I might seem hard as nails, I couldn’t be further from that,’ confesses the Line of Duty and Trigger Point star. ‘I don’t like the unknown and this programme is an anxious thing to do because you don’t know what anyone’s going to tell you.’ However, the actor was keen to learn more about her maternal great-grandfather Harry Millership, who she knew had been a prisoner of war,…
