LADY BIGFOOT The first film from former BBC New Comedian of The Year winner Anna Thomas gets an airing on BBC One Wales and iPlayer. It revolves around a lonely bigfoot living a secret existence in a Welsh woodland, the local park-keeper she befriends, and an obsessive crypto-zoologist who is determined to prove her existence. The short film also stars fellow comics Jo Enright and Matt Rees. Thomas said: ' When [produers] Beastly asked if I had any character ideas and I suggested a Welsh Bigfoot, I honestly thought they’d roll their eyes and print off my email just so that they could bin it, but thank goodness they liked the idea and embraced it.' BBC One Wales, 10.40pm

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?: Emily Atack is the subject of this week's episodes. The comic and actor knows she is from a long line of entertainers. Her mum is comedian Kate Robbins and she's related to Paul McCartney. And in this show, Emily discovers how her grandparents Mike & Betty both worked at Butlins in the 50s and that the family's musical roots go all the way back to the brass bands of industrial Britain. She also learns that her great-grandfather Ted was a Welsh footballing hero, and that her great-aunt Doreen Atack commanded huge audiences as a theatrical whistler. (She once insured her teeth for £1,000 - around £55,000 in today's money). But before Emily’s ancestors developed their skills as entertainers, they worked in the mines. BBC One, 9pm
