A thin week with very little to excite any contemporary British historians with a wish to watch TV while staying on duty. The BBC considering the history of its own future is the only unmissable programme this week (BBC Radio 4, 8pm Saturday), which is up against a C4’s look at gender reassignment surgery and those who underwent in the 1950s (C4, 8pm Saturday).
Details of all programmes can be found on the TV and Radio page.
