The Week in HD – Monday 8th September

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray

This great all-in-one collection includes the magnificent 50th anniversary episode The Day of the Doctor, Matt Smith's final episodes as the time lord and Paul McGann's surprise appearance in the online mini-episode.

It also includes Mark Gatiss's lovely film dramatising the very first days of the first series of the show back in 1973 An Adventure in Space and Time, the hilarious The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, which stars a group of old Doctors and special guests trying to get into the 50th anniversary special, and an exclusive cut of the script read-through for the The Day of the Doctor.

Bad Neighbours Blu-ray

Hilarious hijinks ensue when a couple with a newborn baby move next door to a frat house. While it's not a masterpiece, we thought it was 'always looking for the next way of making you laugh and we can't think of a stinker of a joke throughout the whole film. In that respect, it's a very successful comedy.'

Read our full review to find out why we took a shine to this immature yet likable film.

Switzerland v England ITV HD, 7.45pm

England's first qualifier for Euro 2016 and they come up against a Swiss side that narrowly lost to Argentina in the summer World Cup. Optimism isn't high with injury worries over a few members of the squad, but they'll want to start off well and get this potentially tricky fixture out of the way.

University Challenge BBC One HD, 8pm

Jeremy Paxman hosts the first-round quiz between Bath University and University of Glasgow.

Operation Stonehenge: What Lies Beneath BBC Two HD, 8pm

Using CGI to show us the hidden monuments that lie beneath the iconic stone structures, we're shown the fascinating history and origins of Stonehenge spanning from 8000 BC to 2500 BC.

We're not just shown the effects of war and international trade on the monument, we're also shown how the people of the area lived all those millennia ago, giving an insight as to why and how these stones came to be revered.

Penguins on a Plane: Great Animal Moves BBC Two HD, 9pm

How do you transport a flock of gentoo penguins from New Zealand to Birmingham? Why, with a hi-tech, custom-built £40,000 plane fitted with a refrigerator, air-filtering and seat belts, of course.

As these penguins travel in style in their 'penguin hotel', a stubborn two-tonne hippo named Pinky is reluctant to travel to the south of France for a breeding programme, and eight billion bees are being imported from Italy to help the UK's plummeting bee population.

Mock the Week BBC Two HD, 10pm

Ed Byrne, Gary Delaney, Josh Widdecombe and Katherine Ryan join the regulars to satirise the past week's news.

Blade Sky Movies Showcase HD, 10pm

There are talks of a Blade reboot, but we're still too entertained by the first film to even consider a reprisal. Stephen Dorff plays a charismatic young vampire determined to bring his traditional and overbearing rulers into the modern age, but he has half-human half-vampire anti-hero Blade (played by Wesley Snipes) blocking his path to world domination.

About Time Sky Movies Drama & Romance HD, 8pm

Rachel McAdams once again finds herself at the mercy of a man who can time travel. This time it's Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter films), who goes back in time repeatedly to win her over, and whose time-hopping abilities seem to have been passed on by his father, Bill Nighy. 

Yes, it's a Richard Curtis film, so expect a good-natured and idealised romantic comedy with more sunshine than should be normal for a British year.

Max Payne E4 HD, 9pm

Max Payne the game was fantastic: a neo-noir third-person shooter whose visual style was heavily influenced by hard-boiled detective novels, John Woo's action films, and used The Matrix's bullet-time effect as well as graphic novel panels to tell the story.

Max Payne the movie? Not so much. It follows the dark and gritty tone of the game, but the story - a NYPD cop out to get revenge on the mobsters that murdered his wife and child - and the action falls a little flat. Mark Wahlberg isn't at his best as the moody Payne, either, but the film's visuals are arresting and lovely to watch.

The Counsellor: Extended Cut Sky Movies Premiere HD, 9.45pm

Ridley Scott's latest film is hard to explain, categorise and, for some, like. Michael Fassbender stars as a successful lawyer whose perfect life spirals out of control when a first-time drug deal goes wrong.

With a script that doesn't spoonfeed you the story, characters that are very difficult to decipher or like, and a story that depends a lot on style as it does plot, it's a riveting yet demanding film about greed and corruption. 

The A-list cast includes Javier Barden, Penelope Cruz, Brad Pitt, and a bewitching Cameron Diaz, who has two pet cheetahs on a leash.
