The Real Marigold Hotel
9pm, BBC One
Dragon’s Den’s Duncan Bannatyne, the kids’ TV presenter Paul Chuckle and the fashion designer Zandra Rhodes are among the new group of eight retiree celebs travelling to the coastal Indian city of Puducherry to live out a retirement home fantasy inspired by the 2011 film. Much like yesterday’s Absolutely India, it is an initial serving of culture shock for our seniors as they negotiate the city’s traffic and cuisine, before Duncan finds Zen in a spot of yoga and some of the women explore the region’s farming. A bumbling dose of escapism. Ammar Kalia

But the atmosphere is strong, and what is discussed cuts to the core of the show. Jack Seale
