Tracey Breaks the News

It's a brave comedian that tries to impersonate anyone, because as brilliant as the make-up team are at the BBC, it takes more than some clever wigs and prosthetics to capture the essence of a character. Tracey Ullman knows this only too well, but then again she's been doing this sort of thing for decades. The latest chapter of her short-lived series draws to a close this week, and lined up in her comedy cross hairs are Jeremy Corbyn, Rupert Murdoch, wife Jerry, Angela Merkel, Theresa May, Michael Gove and Jacob Rees Mogg.

Managing England: The Impossible Job
Sunday, BBC2, 9pm
It's infamous for being one of the most difficult jobs in sport, and this documentary takes a look at the history of the role of England football manager. From Alf Ramsay's success to leading the Three Lions to glory in 1966, through to Roy Hodgson's side's dismal showing at the last World Cup in Brazil, the programme chronicles the highs and lows of the England team and the differing fortunes of the men who have been in charge. There are interviews with current boss Gareth Southgate, as well as former incumbents Sven Goran-Eriksson, Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce. Plus, past players such as Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand give their opinion on why they think it is such a tough job and what can be done to end the nation's 52-year trophy drought.

Over the years, Louis Calhern, John Gielgud and Charles Gray have all played the eponymous politician in adaptations of the military general's life, but now here's a refreshing twist on the Bard's tale of power, intrigue and back-stabbing.

Once more it centres on a conspiracy to assassinate the leader before he can grant himself absolute power, and the subsequent conflict that divides a nation in two.
