Picking up just where they left off, the stars reveal all about their close working relationship and tell the stories behind some of their biggest moments – from Tameka reliving her infamous live labour scenes for the 30th anniversary to Diane explaining why she once had to pretend to all her friends and family that she had quit the show.

Perry Mason, 9.00pm, Sky Atlantic
The hard-boiled detective story continues as Matthew Rhys continues to pound the streets as the iconic pulp PI in the engaging and visually sumptuous LA noir story that’s getting that bit better week-by-week.
We’re now up to episode five and The case of the kidnapped and murdered child grows more fascinating. We’re also learning a bit more of Perry Mason’s back story, and Matthew Rhys is fantastic, as always.
After last week’s developments - I’ll give nothing away as I’d highly recommend anyone who hasn’t seen this yet to get up to scratch through Sky’s Catch Up service - it’s fair to say that it’s impossible to second guess what’s going to happen next.

Panorama reporter Dr Faye Kirkland asks whether this was a dangerous gamble with people’s lives or a sound scientific approach.

Exhibition on Screen, 7.00pm, Sky Arts & NOW TV
Taking its lead from French artists like Renoir and Monet, the American impressionist movement followed its own path which over a forty-year period reveals as much about America as a nation as it does about its art as a creative powerhouse.
