A double-bill featuring men who it’s hard not to hate this evening.
If you’ve ever longed to see Michael Portillo in extreme physical discomfort then tonight’s HORIZON is just for you (BBC2, 9pm). In How To Kill A Human Being, the reinvented Tory stormtrooper explores the various methods of execution used in the United States and reveals the many different ways in which they can go horribly wrong.
All of this leads Mike to ponder the use of a new and more humane way of bumping off criminals, and however cuddly his new image might be, there’s got to be some pleasure derived from seeing Portillo with a face full of CS gas.
Following that and in his first major TV appearance since being released from prison, Chris Langham is grilled by Pamela Stephenson as her head-exploring series SHRINK RAP starts a second run (More 4, 10pm). Those who are still unsure as to how much of the truth Langham told in court will get an opportunity to scrutinise him at closer quarters. Although the fact that he fesses up to being a ‘congenital liar’ at one point isn’t really going to help him claw back a great deal of public sympathy.
