Mr Burton (Mark Evans, 2025), 8pm, BBC One
Mark Evans’s drama is the fact-based story of how poor miner Rich Jenkins’ son became RSC star Richard Burton – but it’s also a moving story about fathers and sons, what you gain by leaving and what you lose. Young Richard (Harry Lawty, perfecting that sonorous voice) has a bleak future in his industrial hometown of Port Talbot. But his English teacher, Philip Burton (Toby Jones), sees promise in the potential actor and becomes the mentor his drunkard father will never be. However, the lifelong demons that had already attacked Richard began to distort their relationship. Simon Wardle
