Mr Burton (Marc Evans, 2025), 8pm, BBC One
Marc Evans’s drama is a fact-based tale of how poor miner’s son Rich Jenkins became RSC star Richard Burton – but it’s also an affecting story of fathers and sons, what you gain by leaving and what you lose. The young Richard (Harry Lawtey, making a good fist of that sonorous voice) has a bleak future in his industrial Port Talbot home town. But his English teacher, Philip Burton (Toby Jones), sees promise in the would-be actor and becomes the mentor his drunken dad will never be. However, the lifelong demons that already assail Richard start to warp their relationship. Simon Wardell
