See today's choices.

No Bananas 8.00pm BBC 1
Last week saw the drama of Dunkirk; this week is all about picking up the pieces. Heroic Harry Slater has managed to escape with his life, and is now languishing in a hospital in Maidstone, where his first love Kaye has tracked him down. Traumatised by his first-hand experience of the horrors of war, he's determined to let the people know the truth by publishing a newspaper account of his experiences - something that the government will never allow. Meanwhile the unfortunate Dorothea (Stephanie Beacham) is desperate to keep her Mosleyite husband out of prison.
