Tracey Emin: This Cultural Life BBC Four, 7.30pm Originally broadcast on Radio 4 in October, this characteristically frank interview sees the artist and former enfant terrible talking to John Wilson about matters both very serious (her cancer diagnosis, her two abortions) and more frivolous (a long friendship with David Bowie, her regrets over not being an extra on Only Fools and Horses). Irish giants Munster head to Coventry for a first round Champions Cup match against struggling Wasps. Rugby Union: Wasps v Munster Sunday, BT Sport 2, 3pm (kick off 3.15pm) This classic European fixture may have lost the epic spark from years gone by, but it always stirs the soul. It’s less about prayer than capitalising on business opportunities – at Ireland’s Kylemore Abbey the sisters make Christmas hampers and the monks of St Augustine’s in Surrey produce their bestselling rosary beads. Heaven Made BBC One, 11.30am not Scot This warming three-part series follows a trio of abbeys caught up in pre-Christmas bustle. Qualifying gets under way today from 12pm. The only downside is that these last few box office races must be held at such lifeless, cash cow circuits. Last week’s race in Jeddah was littered with controversy as the two drivers battled for supremacy, before Hamilton emerged victorious. Hamilton is chasing a record-smashing eighth World Championship, while precocious Dutchman Verstappen is desperate for his first. It all comes down to this final race at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit, with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton level on points with Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Gabriel Tateįormula 1: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Sky Main Event, 11.30am (start time 1pm) F1 has rediscovered its soul, with wheel-to-wheel racing, bitter rivalries throughout the paddock and a proper, red-blooded title race. Even Jama may find her enthusiasm dented by having to explain that – time will tell whether it’s more Britain’s Got Talent or Red or Black?. Each evening will see the pot increase by £10,000, provided the previous night’s winning act hasn’t cashed out. The winner will be able to either cash out for £10,000 or hang on for the following evening and take on a new selection of acts for £20,000 instead. Tonight will see five acts, chosen at random, performing for votes of virtual and studio audiences. The premise gives the overly familiar a twist which manages to be both light and tortuous. Maya Jama, 2021’s ubiquitous television personality, will be hosting, with the panel of longstanding Cowell cronies Gary Barlow and Alesha Dixon, alongside resurgent R’n’B singer Craig David and Dawn French, who should at least ensure any silliness won’t go unacknowledged. The latest begins tonight and runs every night until Friday’s pre-recorded final, in which the winning musical act, whether solo, duet or group, will take away £500,000. Walk the Line ITV, 8pm While he may be stepping back from his on-screen commitments, Simon Cowell remains as active as ever in concocting variations on the talent show.
