TV tonight: Big new documentary of what would have been the Queen’s 100th birthday | TV and radio

Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story, Our Century

9pm, BBC One

The Queen would have been 100 this week, and remains, upon her death, one of the most marketable assets of the British royal family, so here’s a great documentary that places her life in parallel with the biggest social changes of the late 20th century. Contributors include Helen Mirren, David Attenborough and Barack Obama. Jack Seale

Wild Philippines

5 p.m., Sky Nature

A simple two-part guide to the tropical flora and fauna of the Philippines, with meticulously photographed wonders that make up for the whole thing looking like a tourism board video. In the first episode, you find the allure of flying foxes that feed on fruit, and teach baby crocodiles how to hunt by chasing beautiful blue dragonflies. youth

Secret Garden

7pm, BBC One

David Attenborough’s exhilarating tour of Britain’s backyards takes him to a park in Cumbria, whose owners have been working hard to encourage local wildlife. Their pond gives us a glimpse into the fragrant mating rituals of palm salamanders, and their tool shed is home to a barn swallow that has traveled from South Africa to be reunited with its mate – but she is nowhere to be seen.

Your song

9pm on Channel 4

Despicable Me, 3.05pm, BBC One

With three sequels and a third spin-off scheduled for release in July, this 2010 animated comedy is essentially criticism-proof. Fortunately, it’s great. There’s a melodramatic, witty villain, Steve Carell’s Gru (who’s not very evil), the three cute orphan girls he takes in (who aren’t very cute), and the clincher, the Minions: a bunch of charlatan little yellow workers who are Gru’s version of Oompa-Loompas and are endlessly disposable. Aside from the odd adult-oriented gag (Bank of Evil is “formerly Lehman Brothers”), it’s kid-focused fun all the way. Simon Wardle
