Age Before Beauty
9pm, BBC One
Any new drama by Debbie “Cutting It” Horsfield is worth a look and this one, about a dysfunctional family presiding over a failing beauty salon, shares not only the humour of its predecessor but also its location in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. When former salon boss Bel and husband Wesley send their kids off to uni they find they have time on their hands. Bel’s sister Leanne is in charge but the business is going under. Now Leanne’s husband begs Bel to return, but are his motives honourable? Robson Green and Sue Johnston star. Mike Bradley

Rip It Up

The last in this series about Scottish pop reaches the mid-1980s.

Garbage’s Shirley Manson and Alan McGee, founder of Creation Records and the man who discovered Oasis, chip in. David Stubbs
