The Pursuit of Love
9pm, BBC One
A much-needed dose of period drama frivolity drops into the schedules with this adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s 1945 novel, written and directed by Emily Mortimer. Set in the interwar period initially in Oxfordshire and then moving to the Pyrenees during the Spanish Civil War, Lily James stars as wild-hearted aristocrat Linda, who seeks out love at all costs, while her cousin Fanny (Emily Beecham) narrates from her more conservative viewpoint. We open as 17-year-old Linda plots to escape from her stern father (Dominic West).

Here are our top picks from this evening's telly Sunday, 9 May. From the start of BBC's The Pursuit Of Love to the return of Cruising with Jane McDonald -
The sea as an inspiration is limitless.
The sea can rage, be calm and full of promise or present danger. The stories that spring to mind while gazing at the waves can be filled with romance, adventure, danger or hope . . . at any time in history too.
So what about our picture? A lone man looking out to sea. Is he reminiscing? Perhaps he’s waiting for someone to join him? Could he be meeting someone in secret? Is a marriage proposal about to occur?
Or maybe, after, a year of lockdown, he finds himself unable to be around lots of people again and craves some peaceful moments. The sea remains the same no matter what’s happening on land.
