Mary Whitehouse, the Midlands teacher who ran a 30-year campaign against the permissive society, has had her legacy recently re-evaluated – her arguments about the effects of pornography especially being given far more respect today. This two-part documentary begins by looking back at her early battles with the BBC under its liberalizing director-general, Sir Hugh Greene, and opposition to movies such as The Exorcist and Last Tango In Paris. Gyles Brandreth, Michael Grade, and Peter Bradshaw are among the contributors reassessing a figure much mocked during her life, but now seen by some as ahead of her time.
HRH Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh: A Service Of Thanksgiving
10.30am, BBC One
Huw Edwards presents live coverage from Westminster Abbey of a service of thanksgiving in memory of Prince Philip, the longest-serving royal consort in history, who died last April at the age of 99. Attendees include many who were unable to attend the funeral, scaled-down due to Covid. We know that Prince Harry won’t be attending while he awaits a decision about his security in the UK, but after suffering mobility problems and being compelled to pull out of recent public events, the Queen is due to make an “early and dignified” attendance. That’s to say, as far away as possible from the cameras.

They must make fruit turnovers and a chocolate fondant, before reliving their most embarrassing moment in the shape of a meringue showstopper.
The Simpler Life
9.15 pm, Channel 4
The time comes for the volunteers to interact with the outside world without losing their commitment to the ways of the Amish. They venture into the local market town to sell some of their extra produce, but the trip is not the commercial triumph they had envisaged, while the sight of local shops stirs unexpected temptation. And a new herd of pigs is a welcome addition to the farm, however, a contraband borrowed radio divides the group and threatens to derail the new community.
The Witchfinder
10 pm, BBC Two
One of the funniest faked orgasms since When Harry Met Sally is the high point of the latest episode of this costume comedy, as Gideon and Thomasine (Tim Key and Daisy May Cooper) continue to be husband and wife to escape persecution by the lethal Puritans of Dedham Vale. And then when they think they’ve fooled the villagers, they bump into Gideon’s ex-fiancée, Dorothy.
