Viewpoint 

Monday 26 April 

ITV, 9pm 

New ITV drama Viewpoint asks if it's ever possible to observe another person’s life and remain completely objective and have zero impact.

The five-part drama, airing every day this week, follows DC Martin Young (Noel Young) as he leads a crucial surveillance investigation in a close Manchester community following the disappearance of a primary school teacher.

When Gemma Hillman (Amy Wren) goes missing, her boyfriend, with whom she shares a home, is the prime suspect. 

DC Young sets up an observation post in the home of young mum and secret voyeur Zoe Sterling (Alexandra Roach), which has a direct view of Hillman’s home. 

The series highlights the different personas we embody in our private and public lives, especially when we think no one is watching. 

Building the Dream 

Wednesday 28 April 

More 4, 9pm 

Sometimes the best way to find your dream home is to build it, and architectural designer Charlie Luxton is on hand to help people take on projects of all sizes and budgets across the UK.  

Both novices and experienced builders tackle building houses from scratch that perfectly suit their needs and are often cheaper than buying a property on the open market. 

The first episode sees a couple in Hertfordshire create their perfect property in order to pursue their passions of music, painting and writing.

Wary of the impact of capitalism and living in a surveillance state, Fox uproots his family and takes them on a dangerous journey through Mexico. 

On the run from the US government and looking for safety, Fox hopes to create a self-sustaining utopia, but hostile missionaries and growing paranoia and delusions threaten to unravel his plan. 

This Time with Alan Partridge

BBC One, 9:30pm

Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) is back presenting his magazine show This Time, along with his co-host Jennie Gresham (Susannah Fielding), with whom there is unresolved tension following a big argument at the end of the first series. 

A parody of The One Show, the series will follow the pair both on air and behind the scenes as they handle the highs and lows of daytime TV fame. 

But with behind-the-scenes changes, Partridge begins to fear for his position and his relevance is put into question.
