TV tonight: David Attenborough lends an ear to the sublime sounds of nature
Secret World of Sound With David Attenborough
Sunday, 8pm, Sky Nature
Turn up the volume for David Attenborough’s wonderful symphony of nature’s acoustics. The three-part series follows eight animals per episode and is filmed in 4k ultra-high definition with 360-degree sound, for an experience that fully immerses us in the natural world. It starts with buff-tailed bumblebees using the “sonic assault” of their wings to loosen pollen, and that master of silence the great grey owl, whose uneven ears enable it to hear the rustle of voles in the snow. There are also musical performances from whistling and squeaking bottlenose dolphins, tap-dancing kangaroo rats and roaming, roaring lions. Hollie Richardson
Death in Paradise
9pm, BBC One
Murder, mojitos and an unfeasibly high murder rate? This week’s episode of Death in Paradise ticks all the right boxes with its tragic tale of a newly engaged couple (and their not-entirely-legal cryptomining operation) being torn asunder by … well, death, obviously. In paradise. An electrocuted body is found, and there are three suspects – but they were all together at the time the incident happened. Someone get DI Neville Parker and DS Naomi Thomas on the case, stat. Kayleigh Dray
Call the Midwife

Roman Holiday (William Wyler, 1953), 4.35pm, Film4
This was Audrey Hepburn’s first Hollywood film – and a star was born. She plays Ann, a European princess on tour but sick and tired of the diplomatic routine. So when in Rome she does a flit and bumps into Gregory Peck’s journalist Joe, who sees a scoop in the making. With both hiding their identities, he joins her as she samples normal life in the Eternal City. William Wyler’s romance uses its locations to fine effect, and Hepburn’s sparky persona works well in tandem with the amiable Peck. Simon Wardell
