Not quite sure of what the best picks of the box are for this week? Or will you regret that you didn't record something during the week when everyone is suddenly talking about it?

Fear not, the Tom Dunne Show has you covered.

Sue Murphy joined Tom to pick out the best of the box this week, and you can find a link to the full podcast at the bottom of the page.

Picks of the week:

How to Stay Young, Thursday, BBC1, 9pm

A brand-new two part series in which Angela Rippon and Dr Chris van Tulleken investigate the latest research on slowing down the aging process. From a simple 'sit down, stand up' test to a special property in purple foods, this show looks like it will be full of great tips for anyone to try at home.

Undercover (episode 2) Sunday, BBC1, 9pm

Taking over from The Night Manager on the BBC 1 9pm timeslot is Undercover, a brand new legal drama scripted by Peter Moffat (Silk, The Village). The series stars Sophie Okonedo as a lawyer who returns to Britain after 20 years in the USA. Soon to become the first black Director of Public Prosecutions, she discovers that her husband of 20 years (Adrian Lester) has been lying to her and is actually an undercover cop. 

Being Evel Knievel, Thursday, BBC4, 9pm

This documentary takes a look into the career of world famous motorcyclist, daredevil stunt performer and entertainer 'Evel Knievel'. Against the odds, charisma and showmanship saw Knievel find himself performing insane, death defying stunts across canyons, but he was also a man with a penchant for alcohol, womanising, and a fair share of aggression.

Sue Murphy joins Tom Dunne every Monday between 22.00 and 23.00 with her selection of the best TV the week has to offer. You can listen to the full edition of this week's episode below:
