I Am Greta, 10.45pm, BBC1/BBC iPlayer
This film follows the meteoric rise of teenage climate-change activist Greta Thunberg, from her solitary protest outside the Swedish Parliament to global fame. Filmmaker Nathan Grossman follows Greta for two years, as she galvanises marches across the world, delivers heartfelt speeches for world leaders and meets global figures, including French President Macron and Pope Francis. Greta’s father helps her juggle home and school life as well as her Asperger’s, in an intimate film that sees Greta sailing to New York to speak at the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit. ★★★★★ RM
Cornwall and Devon Walks, 8.30pm, ITV
There is no substitute for being out in the fresh air, but just watching Julia Bradbury walk along this stunning Cornish route, from Porthcurno Beach to Land’s End, is a tonic. She stops off at the dramatic Minack Theatre before continuing west to Land’s End, where she chats with psychologist Jonathan about why being out in the great outdoors is so vital for our mental health. The beaches are stunning, the sea twinkling and the sky vast – definitely a walk to add to 2021’s very long to-do list. ★★★★ JL
