SEPTEMBER 2020 SPOTLIGHT ON BRITISH IMPORTS Royals and dancing and mysteries, oh my. This month, we’re bringing you the best new programs from the United Kingdom. Check out these standout programs, and remember you can also stream them live on wliw.org/live. ARTS & CULTURE Twenty-five years ago, seven minutes changed the face of Irish dancing forever. The Eurovision Song Contest interval act performance by Riverdance gave millions of people an exciting glimpse of the future of Irish dance. Celebrate the magic of this Grammy-winning music and dance spectacular in Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show (Sunday, September 20 at 7:30pm), filmed live at the 3Arena in Dublin. Catapulting Riverdance into the 21st century, it features a new generation of dancers and musicians, including a 17-year-old fiddler from New Jersey. THRILLS & CHILLS Brilliant but cynical inspector Piet van der Valk (Marc Warren, Beecham House, The Good Wife) solves baffling crimes in 21st-century Amsterdam in Van der Valk on Masterpiece, a new series based on Nicolas Freeling’s legendary crime thrillers (Mondays at 9pm beginning September 14). In the first episode, art, politics and passion mix in a case that breaks in Piet’s new assistant. Following up a lead, Piet’s sidekick, Lucienne courts death. Can’t wait to see what happens next? WLIW21 Passport members can binge-watch all three episodes the night of the premiere (wliw.org/passport). HISTORICAL Lucy Worsley’s Royal Palaces Secrets (Wednesday, September 16 at 8pm) takes viewers on an exclusive tour of the Tower of London, Hampton Court, and the treasure-filled Kensington Palace. CLASSIC BRITISH DRAMA The heartwarming BAFTA-winning Last Tango in Halifax (Mondays at 8pm beginning September 28), about a couple who rediscovers their love for each other 60 years after they first met, returns for a fourth season. After seven years of marriage, Alan (Derek Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) discover that wedded bliss isn’t always blissful. Clashing politics, Alan’s new job, a visiting brother, and a wild local lad also create tension.

When a plan is created to expand the village to keep up with its population growth, it sparks a turf war with their secular neighbors. Hear from people on all sides of the conflict, from religious zealots to dissidents, from rabbis to those questioning their own faith.
