The biennial classical vocalists’ competition celebrates its 20th year with a week of socially-distanced programmes from Cardiff’s St David’s Hall.

Charles & the Women Who Could Have Been Queen

9pm, Channel 5

A slightly clinical look at the pre-Diana lovelife of Prince Charles, underpinned by his desire to marry by 30.
