What’s on telly tonight? Here the TV Times team of expert reviewers highlight the best shows on Friday 27th July
Jane McDonald & Friends, 9pm, Channel 5
The ever-fabulous singing sensation steps into her sequins once more for a raucous rave-up with another batch of celebrity pals. In tonight’s jam-packed show, it’s lovely to see Holby City actor and star of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat Lee Mead remind us just what an amazing vocalist he is as he belts out some stunning tunes – and Jane’s clearly got a soft spot for him, too! Meanwhile there are a couple of blasts from the past as 1970s crooner Gilbert O’Sullivan takes to the stage, and Leee John from 1980s soul band Imagination also sings for his supper. Throw in the usual batch of fun prizes and surprises for more heroic members of the public and you’re in for a Friday night treat! Rating: ****
Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning, 8pm, Channel 5
We didn’t think this colourful travelogue could get any more fun – but we were wrong! This week former Corrie star Brian Capron joins the gang as they head to Cornwall, and along with some fresh banter this experienced caravanner brings a little bit of expertise! After poor Colin Baker faces yet another scrape, the gang begin their adventure at the Tamar Bridge – the gateway to Cornwall – before they visit Bodmin, try ghost-hunting at Jamaica Inn and sample a cream tea. Tony Blackburn ups the excitement with an aerial adventure at a disused quarry, but the girls are not enjoying themselves quite as much – particularly after problems with their heater! Rating: ****
Stan Lee’s Lucky Man, 9pm, Sky One
Eve and Harry are back in London after fleeing Hong Kong, but they’re still on the run from Harry’s police colleagues and poor Suri is under serious pressure to track the pair down. Meanwhile, as Harry is forced to go to extreme lengths to try to prove his innocence, it soon becomes clear that scheming Samuel Blake, who has also followed Harry home, will do whatever it takes to bring him down… Rating: ****
