Picks of the week
 
President Trump - Can He Really Win? Wednesday, Channel 4, 9pm
Matt Frei examines the increasingly likely possibility that Donald J Trump might actually become President of the USA. Do the people who want to stop him have the capability do so, and will the American population continue to prop up this seemingly untouchable tycoon? 

Meat Loaf - In and Out of Hell, Friday, BBC4, 9pm
Yet another quality music documentary on the BBC4 9pm Friday slot. This week, Meat Loaf's life story is up for discussion. The larger-than-life theatrical superstar has been through a lot during his time in the limelight, from health scares and bankruptcy to one of the most extraordinary comebacks of all time.

My Nazi Legacy, Wednesday, BBC4, 9pm
This poignant documentary follows three men as they travel together across Europe. Two of the men - Niklas Frank and Horst von Wachter - are sons of Nazi officers, and aim to confront the acts of their fathers. The third man, Philippe Sands comes from a family of Ukrainian Jews, many of whom were killed as a result of the actions of the other men's fathers.

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:
