Photograph:  BBC\/Windfall Films\/Ed cave<\/p>\n<p>    No royal goes unmocked as the family plan a gathering at    Balmoral. Camilla (Haydn Gwynne) wants revenge on Theresa May,    and Charles (Harry Enfield, giving it the bumbling brilliance)    makes waves in Scotland when its revealed hes wearing nae    skiddies beneath his kilt. Prince Harrys relationship with    Meghan Markle reaches new heights when the actor gets a part in    Hollyoaks, but Pippa plans to scupper their love. Gloriously    silly stuff. Hannah Verdier  <\/p>\n<p>    Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell help two more families pulled    apart by the cruellest of circumstances. Andy McNicol from    Walsall, along with wife Hazel, has devoted years of his life    to fostering children. But the McNicol family album is lacking    any pictures of one person: Andys biological son from a    previous relationship. We also meet Mary Davies from Hounslow,    as she tries to find the mother forced to offer her up for    adoption at six weeks old. Mark Gibbings-Jones  <\/p>\n<p>    If humanity is doomed to be crushed by Skynet or similar,    boffins Danielle George and Ben Garrod are determined to look    our future metal overlords right in the eye-sensor. In the    concluding part of their lively R2-detour, the pair criss-cross    the globe to fistbump with state-of-the-art robotic AI, from    Nasas bipedal would-be Mars rambler Valkyrie to darling little    Kirobo, a Japanese chatterbox designed to cheer up lonely    astronauts. Graeme Virtue  <\/p>\n<p>    The season finale of what has been a superb series, of which    you trust the Coens themselves would have been proud. Theres a    warehouse shootout involving the formidable Kikki and Wrench,    Ruby Goldfarb reveals her true colours, and Emmit teeters ever    nearer to the brink to which he has been nudged throughout the    series. Meanwhile, Gloria and the almost engagingly villainous    Varga push towards their final confrontation. Immensely    satisfying TV. David Stubbs  <\/p>\n<p>    Because hip millennials need reality TV, too, you know. This    new show follows comedians and real-life couple Bobby Mair and    Harriet Kemsley as they plan their wedding. The theme this week    is money  the pair dont have much, and everything involved    with weddings is expensive. Some amusing moments for sure, but    the fact is, when youre dealing with a life event like this,    its impossible to see the funny side all of the time. John    Robinson  <\/p>\n<p>    In which modern confectioners undertake a time-travelling    busmans holiday, recreating the sweets of ye olden days using    the ingredients and equipment of the time. Tonight, in the    final episode of the series, its the turn of the Victorian    era. Historians Emma Dabiri and Annie Gray provide deft social    and economic context as the confectioners stock their shop with    items up to and including an immense Easter egg. Andrew    Mueller  <\/p>\n<p>    The host of BBC2s The Mash Report takes his turn in the    standup showcase. Confidence and likability power him through a    series of anecdotes that expend a lot of energy setting up    often gentle punchlines. Among the best stories are Kumars    trip to see Shame at the cinema accompanied by his father, his    response to a racist press question, and his attempt to rebrand    as a cooler version of himself at uni. Jack Seale  <\/p>\n<p>    Arbitrage (Nicholas Jarecki, 2012) 1.30am    Thursday, Channel 4  <\/p>\n<p>    Robert Miller is a crooked, silver-haired hedge fund manager    suddenly on the verge of ruin when he and his art dealer    mistress (Laetitia Casta) are involved in a fatal car crash.    Its a role tailor-made for Richard Gere and the Armani suits    fit immaculately. Theres nothing too original, but its a    sleek and lustrous affair, with fine support from Susan    Sarandon as the wronged wife and Tim Roth as the LA detective    investigating Miller. Paul Howlett  <\/p>\n<p>    Horse Racing: Goodwood Festival 1.30pm, ITV.    The second day including the Qatar Sussex Stakes.  <\/p>\n<p>    Cycling: Tour of Poland 2.30pm, Eurosport 2.
