In 2016, former England international Southgate took over as temporary manager of the England men’s football team, and set out to transform them into a winning side once again. At this stage, the side had endured 50 years of hurt, but Southgate was determined to break the hoodoo that kept England from winning trophies, and turn a poisoned chalice into a major trophy. Southgate led the team to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, and to the finals of Euro 2024, and though he didn’t quite get them over the line, he turned England back into a force to be reckoned with. The series takes us inside the England squad’s dressing room as Southgate works hard to start a new chapter in the annals of England football, with help from sports psychologist Pippa Grange (Jodie Whittaker). The cast also includes Adam Hugill as Harry Maguire, Will Antenbring as Harry Kane, Bobby Schofield as Wayne Rooney, Abdul Sessay as Bukayo Saka, Edem-Ita Duke as Marcus Rashford, Francis Lovehall as Raheem Sterling, Josh Barrow as Jordan Pickford and Sam Baker Jones as Jack Grealish. I’m definitely on for this fixture.HighlightsWho Do You Think You Are?Tuesday, BBC One, 9pmZoe Ball in Who Do You Think You Are?

Now the BBC’s long-running genealogy series returns, and first up is presenter Zoe Ball, who traces her own family history with help from her dad, the former TV personality Johnny Ball. She discovers her roots reach as far north as Glasgow and as far south as Cornwall, and finds ancestors who lived in tenements and worked in mines, and displayed a resilience that kept going through poverty and deprivation. She also learns about the mental health issues suffered by her maternal grandmother, and documented in medical records.
