TV: His Dark Materials

The seventh and final episode of the second series of the adaptations of the novels of Philip Pullman. It’s been better this time around, though Covid might have pushed a third season further down the road than we’d like.

Sunday, BBC One, 7.10pm

Audio Theatre: Two Lord Mayors 

An audio broadcast of a play by James McKeon and Patrick Talbot on the incredible events around the deaths of Cork lord mayors Tomas MacCurtain and Terence MacSwiney in 1920.
