What's On the Box this week?

The Govan philosopher himself, Rab C Nesbitt, is back with a new series on BBC 2 on Thursday.

'Rab C Nesbitt: Heal' (BBC 2, Thursday) - He's back. After over 10 years, one of Britain's best-loved comedy creations make a comeback for a full series, following the successful return of the Govan philosopher for the first time in a decade with a Christmas special in 2008. Then, Rab was doing his best to walk tall and stay sober. Now he's back with a full complement of demons to wrestle with and plenty to get off his string-vested chest.

As the series opens, Rab and Mary welcome their son, Gash, back to the family home and become reacquainted with their granddaughter, Peaches. Gash has defeated drug abuse but is still battling with his demons. When tough love doesn't work, Rab sets a plan in motion to reunite his son with daughter.

'Relic: Guardians Of The Museum' (BBC 1, Thursday) - A new 13-part series in which teams of children face the challenge of a lifetime.

The children visit the museum at night to unlock the mysteries behind 13 different objects. Accompanied on their journey through the museum by Agatha, a mysterious and ghostly tour guide, the adventurers must complete challenges and confront visions from the past in their quest for answers.

While avoiding the 'dark forces' that roam the galleries at night, they discover the history behind some of the museum's most famous exhibits, including the mystery of the Easter Island Statue, how the Rosetta Stone unlocked the secrets of Ancient Egypt, and the premonition that led to the discovery of the Sutton Hoo ship burial.

Racing against time, their success is rewarded by 'guardianship of the museum' but, if they fail, they face eternal incarceration within the museum walls.

'Mrs Mandela' (BBC 4, Monday) - Oscar nominee Sophie Okonedo brings the life of one of the most extraordinary and controversial figures in recent history to the screen.

'Mrs Mandela' charts Winnie Mandela's progression from innocent country girl to politicised fighter against apartheid; from adoring wife to revolutionary firebrand. Shot on location in and around Soweto, the film focuses on the development of the relationship between Winnie and her husband, Nelson Mandela, from their brief courtship in the 1950s to the aftermath of Nelson's release from prison in 1990.

It is a subtle exploration of a remarkable relationship set against the backdrop of one of the greatest political struggles of the 20th century. Opposite Sophie Okonedo, David Harewood stars as Nelson Mandela and David Morrissey plays the role of notorious police interrogator, Theunis Swanepoel.
