If you're going no further than the sofa - and even if you are - here are some tips on what's worth watching on the box between Friday and Sunday. . .
Picks of the weekend
The Last Survivors, 9.00pm Sunday, BBC Two
This landmark BBC documentary gathers together the compelling and, in some cases, never-before-heard testimony from the last Holocaust survivors living in Britain today.
Only a few thousand camp survivors made it to the safety of Britain after the war, and now only a couple of hundred remain.
All of the people in the film were children during the Holocaust, but now in their later years, they reflect on their experiences with a different perspective and understanding of how this past trauma permeates their present lives, and its significance.
Director Arthur Cary also follows these individuals on personal and profound journeys - including the story of a man who returns to Auschwitz with his daughter; a German-Jewish survivor addressing the Bundestag; and a man who returns to his German childhood hometown for the first time since 1946 to finally acknowledge the death of his little brother.
Bros: After the Screaming Stops, 10.45pm Saturday, BBC Two
This fascinating and often hilarious documentary initially sneaked out over Christmas on BBC Four but gets a deserved repeated and a shift up to BBC Two.
In case you weren't around in the late 1980s, Bros were huge for a very short while, and made superstars out of twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss. Wrapped around their reunion 28 years after fame, this documentary is pure Spinal Tap in terms of the absurd.
