I’ll be honest with you here. I haven’t seen Stuart Maconie’s TV Towns (ITV3, Thursday, 9pm) but I feel compelled to give you the option of watching something that isn’t BBC Two on a Thursday evening (which you clearly dislike having read the comments about Vivienne Vyle and Peter Serafinowicz). So what’s the alternative?

Well, Stuart Maconie is a supremely lovely bloke, knowledgable and trustworthy, and ready to take us on a trip through TV towns. Thursday sees Maconie going to Liverpool (okay, it’s a city, but that’s doesn’t really matter) to look at the tales behind some of the country’s most-filmed locations. In Liverpool he visits the Cavern, where the Beatles were captured in performance by a Granada crew in 1962, before heading down to the Albert Docks to see where Richard and Judy’s This Morning show was recorded (not to mention Fred Talbot’s fine floating weather map). It won’t be a hair raising thrill-a-minute, but enjoyable all the same.
