TV highlights 14/03/2012
Live Uefa Champions League 7.30pm, ITV1 One of Roberto Di Matteo's first tasks as interim Chelsea manager is to try to turn around a 3-1 deficit in the second leg of this last-16 tie against Napoli. It's a big ask: the speed and guile of Edinson Cavani and Marek Hamsík make Napoli one of the most dangerous teams in Europe on the break. It all depends on whether or not Chelsea's sulky senior pros have started pulling together. Sian Rowe She Wolves: England's Early Queens 9pm, BBC4 It's the second episode of Dr Helen Castor's historic dig through the British monarchy's fiercest females and tonight's subjects don't disappoint: the lives of Isabella and Margaret of Anjou, French-born queens of England whose desire for power shocked and provoked medieval Britain, are under scrutiny. Isabella paid a heavy price for deposing her husband, Edward II, and Margaret was blamed for provoking the wars of the roses; though Castor thinks it's time for a reassessment. Nosheen Iqbal War Child 9pm, Africa Channel A childhood could scarcely be more harrowing than that experienced by Sudanese musician and rapper Emmanuel Jal, who was recruited into the child army of the Sudanese People's Liberation Army aged seven, following the death of his mother in the second Sudanese civil war. This is the story of his life, and the murderous revenge that fuelled it from such a terrifyingly young age, showing how Jal was trained to fire an AK-47 under the very noses of the UN at training camps masquerading as schools. Ben Arnold Archer 10pm, 5* It's entirely possible you haven't caught on to Archer yet, but as one of the funniest shows around, now is the time to start. Season three hits its stride with a double helping. Idiotic but effective secret agent Archer is lying low after his tragic wedding, working through his grief by sleeping with recently married women on a tropical island where he's working as a barman. In part two he becomes a pirate king, much to the annoyance of the ordinary pirates of the region. Phelim O'Neill Roger & Val Have Just Got In 10pm, BBC2 Plot is pretty superfluous to needs, but it appears to hinge on the panic caused by the imminent arrival of some guests, some good news from Val's school, and a lump of Wensleydale. The verdict? Well, to quote Alfred Molina: "Initial thoughts? Call an ambulance." And the comparisons with Mike Leigh remain optimistic: Leigh knows exactly what he's doing. There is one actual joke in it: "Where's Wensleydale? Between Tuesdaydale and Thursdaydale." Ali Catterall Sri Lanka's Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished 10.55pm, Channel 4 A follow-up to last year's Sri Lanka's Killing Fields film, which documented atrocities during the climactic upheavals of Sri Lanka's 26-year-long civil war. Presented by Jon Snow, the film presents further evidence of war crimes committed by Sri Lankan soldiers, including barely watchable video footage. Snow asks why these outrages haven't been investigated, still less punished, and notes that since the end of the war, two former army chiefs have been shunted into diplomatic postings with immunity from prosecution. Watch this. It might encourage Channel 4 to do more of this sort of thing. Andrew Mueller
