Two Greedy Italians: Still Hungry

8pm, BBC2

Taking manhood as their theme and rather flirting with sexism, Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo conclude their culinary journey through Italy by heading for Rome via Lazio's mountain villages. In the latter, men are still men, as an eating competition apparently proves. However, in the Eternal City it seems women are increasingly in control. So is there still room for (wannabe) macho men like Gennaro? Possibly not, but maybe that's not such a bad thing if it means chaps have to learn to cook. Jonathan Wright

Scandinavian crime, a personal story from Kathy Burke and the inspiration for Homeland are among the small-screen highlights coming our way

The Bridge (Critic's choice)

Fans of Scandinavian crime drama are in for treat – even if the premise of this Swedish/Danish co-production is almost enough to make your head explode. A body is found exactly halfway across the Oresund bridge that connects Copenhagen with Malmo, meaning the investigation has to involve both Danish and Swedish maverick detectives. Sadly, Wallander and Lund were not on duty that night. BBC4, April.

Britain in a Day

On 12 November last year, BBC2 asked Britons to film something that captured "the intimacy and singularity of their lives" for a documentary project. The result is a feature-length work, directed by Morgan Matthews, that paints a British self-portrait. BBC2, May.

Walking and Talking

Kathy Burke's comedy, inspired by her teenage years, follows the wonderful short »
