VIEWER GUIDE APR 2020 | Vol VIEWER GUIDE APR 2020 | vol. 22 no. 4 A SERVICE OF CASCADE PUBLIC MEDIA SERIES PREMIERE | SUN Apr 5 | 9p Dishing with Julia Child The Gene: Nature: An Intimate History Remarkable Rabbits 1 Dishing with Julia Child series premiere FRI Apr 3 | 10p Julia Child was quirky – unpolished for television and irresistibly whimsical. More than 50 years after its debut, The French Chef remains important television. In this new series, some of today’s most popular celebrity chefs and food experts share personal insights and engage in lighthearted conversations as they screen – and delight in – some of Julia Child’s most beloved episodes. Featured celebrities include Martha Stewart, Jacques Pépin, Vivian Howard, Marcus Samuelsson, José Andrés, Eric Ripert and Rick Bayless. Masterpiece: World on Fire series premiere SUN Apr 5 | 9p This new series from Masterpiece is an emotionally gripping World War II drama that follows the intertwining fates of ordinary people in fi ve countries as they grapple with the eff ects of the war on their everyday lives. Staring Helen Hunt, Sean Bean and Jonah Hauer-King, the fi rst season of this series is set during the fi rst year of the war. The Gene: An Intimate History series premiere TUE Apr 7 | 8p This two-part series vividly brings to life the story of today’s revolution in medical science through tales of patients and doctors at the forefront of the search for genetic treatments. Presented by Ken Burns, the series also explores the compelling history of the discoveries that made modern treatments possible – and considers the ethical challenges raised by the ability to edit DNA with precision. Independent Lens: Bedlam MON Apr 13 | 10p Haunted by the death of a mentally ill sister, psychiatrist Ken Rosenberg takes on the role of fi lmmaker to examine a national health crisis. Bedlam follows the poignant stories of people grappling with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other chronic psychiatric conditions. Impossible to mask when untreated, their symptoms shove them into the path of police offi cers, ER doctors and nurses, lawyers and prison guards. Rosenberg takes us inside Los Angeles County’s overwhelmed psych ER, a nearby jail warehousing thousands of psychiatric patients, and the homes – and homeless encampments – of people suff ering from severe mental illness.

  • Call the Midwife Is a Moving and Intimate Insight Into the Colourful World of Midwifery and Family Life in 1950’S East London
    A Neal Street Production for BBC One Starring Jessica Raine with Jenny Agutter, Pam Ferris, Miranda Hart and Judy Parfitt Based on the best-selling memoirs by Jennifer Worth and dramatised by Heidi Thomas Call the Midwife is a moving and intimate insight into the colourful world of midwifery and family life in 1950’s East London. We are introduced to the community through the eyes of young nurse Jenny Lee as she arrives at Nonnatus House to live and work as a midwife alongside an Order of Nuns. As Jenny comes to terms with her new life, we meet some phenomenal people who prove that their warmth, resilience and determination are to be admired beyond measure. At the heart of this world are the Sisters of St Raymond Nonnatus who have been active in the East End as Anglican nursing nuns since the beginning of the 20th century. The Sisters and the midwives of Nonnatus House carry out many nursing duties across the community. However, with between 80 and 100 babies being born each month in Poplar alone, their primary work is to help bring safe childbirth to women in the area and to look after their countless newborns. The series was commissioned by Danny Cohen, Controller BBC One, and Ben Stephenson, Controller BBC Drama. It was adapted with the blessing and guidance of Jennifer Worth, who worked closely with Neal Street Productions and screenwriter Heidi Thomas (Upstairs Downstairs, Cranford) up until she passed away shortly before filming began in the summer of 2011. Starring newcomer Jessica Raine as Jenny, the cast includes Jenny Agutter, Pam Ferris, Miranda Hart and Judy Parfitt.
