Black Hollywood: They’ve Gotta Have Us, BBC2, 9pm

WHEN Moonlight was named Best Picture at the 2017 Oscars, it was a historic moment – and not just because presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty had initially announced that La La Land had won after being given the wrong envelope.

It was the first film with an all-black cast to take the prize and it has become a symbol for black cinema.

It’s also the starting point for this three-part series which looks at how black actors and filmmakers have gone from being sidelined to wielding power in Hollywood.

In the opening episode, three legends, Harry Belafonte (who was in Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman), Earl Cameron and Diahann Carroll talk about their experiences of being pioneers in a white world.

The likes of Faye Tozer, Ashley Roberts, Danny John-Jules and Joe Sugg have all impressed in the opening weeks, but know they are only one poor dance away from potentially being sent home.

However, with the cold-blooded and unpredictable assassin still at large, are any of them safe until she is caught? Spy thriller, starring Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, Fiona Shaw, Kim Bodnia and Darren Boyd.

Secrets of the Gladiators: Rome Unwrapped, Channel 5, 9pm

ROME had, for a long time, been reluctant to create a grand stone building to house the traditional gladiatorial games, but the force of public demand was irresistible and a stadium was eventually created that could hold 50,000 people.

The Colosseum saw the birth of the entertainment industry, where stars were made and lives were ended. Rome’s glory was revealed, but so was its ugly heart. From the archaeological evidence and eyewitness accounts, this programme reconstructs the day the Colosseum opened and chronicles the fights, executions and legendary duels.
