Kathy Burke: Money Talks
10pm, Channel 4
The beloved comic Kathy Burke fronts this two-part documentary examining our peculiarly British relationship to money. Burke starts off by reuniting with her longtime comedy pals Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse to discuss the Thatcherite politics that provided the backdrop to their early sketches, before she goes to meet the millionaire Alfie Best and talks about his continual anxiety at losing his wealth. A visit to a “TikTok house” shows Burke a 21st-century method of getting rich.
