Saturday 19th November

Comedy
An Audience with Ken Dodd
8:15pm - 9:25pm Channel 5

The much-loved funnyman looks back on his career in this programme recorded in 1994. The Diddy Man recalls learning his comic trade during summer seasons in Blackpool and working on the same bill as Morecambe and Wise, as well as his famously marathon shows, some of which lasted nearly five hours. Among the star-studded audience questioning Ken about his life are James Fox, Molly Sugden, Samantha Fox, Paul Daniels, Warren Mitchell and Frank Carson.


Film
Deep Blue Sea 
10:45pm - 12:40am ITV1 London.

In this popcorn sci-fi action thriller, three genetically mutated, super-intelligent sharks stalk the marooned members of an underwater research facility. A B-movie cast struggles gamely with the hopelessly mundane dialogue, but director Renny Harlin's submerged Cliffhanger remains afloat through sheer nerve, technical prowess and some truly spectacular shock moments involving computer-generated special effects. The tricks of the trade invented by Steven Spielberg for Jaws are all present and correct, but merely placed on a far bigger hi-tech canvas. The result is a gory, trashy blockbuster that succeeds despite its waterlogged script.

Drama
The Killing II
9:00pm - 10:00pm BBC4
1/10, series 2

Former detective Sarah Lund is in disgrace after the disastrous Nanna Birk Larsen murder inquiry, banished to the Danish boondocks to work as a passport controller in an unflattering "POLITI" uniform. Back in Copenhagen, a woman is found savagely murdered: stabbed multiple times and tied to a post in a public park. In the opening moments of the episode, the first of a double bill, we hear the woman's anguished husband screaming for help to an emergency operator. Lund's former police boss, Lennart Brix of the tombstone demeanour, needs his best woman on the case. But Sarah (Sofie Grabol) isn't interested. Not quite. Yet. It's great to see Lund again, but make no mistake, this hugely anticipated ten-part series is very different in both pace and tone from its predecessor. It's more measured, and doesn't bring that immediate thud to the heart. But it's a complex, grown-up story that once more rackets between the cops and the crime, and town hall politics, and also this time, a secretive, nervous Army.

Drama
The Killing II
10:00pm - 11:00pm BBC4
2/10, series 2

Lund investigates the possibility of a link between Islamic fundamentalists and the murder of lawyer Anne Dragsholm, which causes Buch problems as he tries to push his anti-terror legislation through parliament. Danish drama, starring Sofie Grabol and Nicolas Bro.
