Bank Holiday Special TV

Television is poor this coming week so no recommendations instead I will do a Bank Holiday special. I sit in hope of some new programming but I will have to wait. Some due to be televised in June and the summer,

Versailles, Season 3 - BBC Two 04 June

Knightfall, Season 1 - History Summer

Who Do You Think You Are?, Season 15 - BBC One Summer

The trailers for King Lear have been popping up over the BBC and wetted my appetite to be a viewer it’s a modern day up date of the classic.

5Spike The 7th Voyage of Sinbad 1pm – I always try to watch what I call a Bank Holiday film and Sinbad is deffo in that category.

While sailing with Princess Parisa to Baghdad to their wedding, Sinbad finds the Colossa Island and anchors his vessel to get supplies for the starving crew. Sinbad and his men help the magician Sokurah to escape from a Cyclops that attacks them, and Sokurah uses a magic lamp with a boy jinni to help them; however, their boat sinks and he loses the lamp. Sokurah offers a small fortune to Sinbad to return to Colossa, but he does not accept and heads to Baghdad.

The citizens and the Caliph of Baghdad are celebrating the peace with Chandra, and they offer a feast to the Sultan of Chandra. Sakurah requests a ship and crew to return to Colossa but the Caliph refuses to jeopardise his compatriots. However, the treacherous magician shrinks the princess and when the desperate Sinbad seeks him out, he tells that he needs to return to Colossa to get the ingredient necessary for the magic potion and the adventure begins.

Sky Cinema Action Aeon Flux 6:15pm – Ok it stars Charlize Theron again but I like her what can I say. In 2011, a deadly pathogenic virus has killed 99% of the Earth's population, forcing the survivors to regroup and scatter across the Earth.

400 years in the future, set in the year 2415, Aeon Flux is a mysterious assassin. Four centuries after a virus nearly annihilated the human race, leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor Goodchild, the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler, Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and conspiracies to be foiled.

BBC 2 King Lear 9pm – I have been waiting for this for weeks the Richard Eyre's adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, starring Anthony Hopkins as the ageing monarch who decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, only to turn against the youngest and banish her when she refuses to flatter his ego. The remaining sisters are corrupt and their newfound power and drive him into the wastelands, at a terrible cost to his sanity, while the land is plunged into chaos and civil war. With Emma Thompson, Emily Watson, Jim Broadbent, Andrew Scott and Florence Pugh it is a major cast.

BBC 1 Car Share 10pm - There was uproar at the end of the second and final series of Car Share when odd couple John and Kayleigh (Peter Kay and Sian Gibson) did not get together. Or rather, they did, but only in a musical dream sequence which was a bit of a cheat.

Fans determined that everything should end happily for the engaging pair and demanded the resolution they wanted. So Kay and his co-writer Gibson have made one last episode and I thank them

Apart from three charity screenings, the whole thing is being kept under wraps until tonight, at Kay’s insistence, but surely, they would not keep John and Kayleigh apart again. Or would they?

Last-ever, episode of the comedy, following on from last May's instalment in which Kayleigh finally admitted her true feelings for John - and then stepped out of his car and seemingly out of his life for good when he refused to say how he felt, naughty John.
