The weekend's TV highlights

Saturday 4 September Isle Of MTV; Camp Bestival 12midday, MTV; 9pm, Sky Arts 1 Two different approaches at annual music festivals. First off, MTV take over a chunk of Malta for their big, spectacular concert. The bands picked are ones that know plenty about showmanship: Scissor Sisters, Kelis and Kid Rock. In these cash-strapped days such wilful, wasteful consumerism is a wonder to behold and it's great to see MTV actually putting some M on their TV for a change. The other side of the coin is the carbon-neutral Camp Bestival in Dorset. Audiences there, in fancy dress, witnessed an eclectic selection including Madness, Friendly Fires, the Human League and George Clinton. No Hats No Trainers 12.25pm, BBC2 The lively No Hats No Trainers is back for a second series, and it's well worth tuning in to ease that post-Saturday Kitchen food coma along. Last time, 1Xtra's MistaJam brought the likes of N-Dubz, Big Boi, Tinie Tempah and Skepta to weekend lunchtimes, in a smart, funny and sharp approach to music TV for teenagers. This time around, expect Loick Essien and Mz Bratt, as well as countless other almost-stars who will be all over the charts in 12 months time. Rigoletto Live From Mantua; BBC Proms 2010 7.15pm; 9pm, BBC2 Placido Domingo has recently been garnering plaudits for his run at Covent Garden in the title role of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra. This will have been, at the very least, useful practice for taking up the title role in this ambitious staging of Verdi¹s Rigoletto. Verdi originally set the opera in Mantua, and this production will bring it home, broadcasting live from different locations across the city under the supervision of Oscar-winning director Andrea Andermann. Later on BBC2, Suzy Klein introduces the second of two 2010 Proms concerts by Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic. My Funniest Year: 2000 10pm, Channel 4 In a depressingly retrograde studio audience format, compere and comedian Rufus Hound does something the futurists never dreamt of – looks back with a wry, nostalgic eye to the year 2000. As clips remind us, this was the year of Big Brother's inauguration, of Geri Halliwell at the UN, of Tony Blair being booed by the Women's Institute, of the beginning of George Bush's disastrous Presidency. We could do without Hound's constant prompts as to what to find amusing in all this. Shaun Ryder, Mr 2000 himself, guests. American Grindhouse 10.30pm, Sky Arts 1 This informative documentary charts the course of US exploitation cinema from the silent days, through the restrictive years of the Hays Code (1934-1968) where the film industry censored itself into blandness, to the wonderful 1970s where out of town drive-ins and the grindhouses of 42nd Street and Hollywood Boulevard churned out risque fare for crowds of outsiders. It takes an almost academic approach, treating the subject with the respect it deserves, showing how and why these lurid movies happened and discussing their enduring appeal with film-makers like John Landis, HG Lewis and Joe Dante. Hancock & Joan 11pm, BBC4 Ken Stott puts in a compelling performance as Tony Hancock in this repeat of the biopic about the British comedian whose talent went alongside a monstrous ego, a raging alcoholism and a charisma that destroyed those around him. One such person was Joan Le Mesurier, wife of the actor John, who fell under Hancock 's spell and engaged in a torrid affair with him in the last year of his life. Maxine Peake is superb as Joan. Sunday 5 September The Middle 6.30pm, Sky1 Sky1's new show is decent enough. Patricia Heaton solid as the head of a midwest family and there's fine support from Atticus Shaffer as weirdo son Brick. (Library membership revoked, he's reduced to reading his mum's Mills & Boon: "Which part of me is my lingering manhood?") But rather than just be ordinary, like precursor Malcolm In The Middle, the whole show has to make a fuss of the fact that it's about how hard being a middle-class American is. Mountain Gorilla 8pm, BBC2 More tales from the central African mountains – the group of Silverbacks has lost their leader and his son, Rano, is having a problem stepping into his shoes. He's finding it difficult to earn their respect and leads the group out of the park and on to farm land in search of food. Watching these amazing creatures is mesmerising but, though anthropomorphosis is probably difficult to avoid when talking about an animal so closely related to humans, the narrative does seem to make a lot of assumptions about the gorilla's personal motives and emotional states. Secret Britain 9pm, BBC1 Concluding their journey in search of hidden corners of the British countryside, Countryfile co-presenters Matt Baker and Julia Bradbury head for the borderlands. The frequently epic landscapes they see are often portrayed as wholly wild and unspoilt, but the duo reveal how people have been leaving their mark in these regions since the Roman era. Among tonight's highlights, Matt boards a train that chuffs its way to Britain's most remote railway station and Julia heads to Glencoe to hunt for a "hidden valley that lives up to its name". U Be Dead 9pm, ITV1 This drama is based on the true story of Dr Jan Falkowski, who along with his girlfriend was stalked incessantly by one Maria Marchese, who bombarded him with text messages sent from telephone kiosks, before fabricating a charge of rape against him. David Morrissey stars as Falkowski, for whom sympathy was mitigated when he began an affair with a younger woman in the midst of the duress. The drama benefits from being based on real life, circumventing the cliches and set pieces mainstream TV would demand. Jersey Shore; The Hard Times Of RJ Berger 9pm; 10pm, MTV Tonight, MTV has two new launches, each broadcast from the lowest common denominator. First up is season two of Jersey Shore, a reality show in which girls and boys from New Jersey go on a mission to find cheap spray tanning and uncomplicated sexual intercourse. The Hard Times OF RJ Berger, meanwhile, is like The Wonder Years, with added sexual content. Can RJ beat the cards nature has dealt him to hook up with Jenny Swanson? Guilty pleasures, all round. Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe; Burden Of Dreams 9.50pm; 10.15pm, Sky Arts 1 Two things you need to know about director Werner Herzog: firstly, he operates on an often hard to fathom set of rules and second, he always keeps his word. You can see both of these things in these documentaries. Burden covers the making of his Fitzcarraldo, where he decided that the best way to make a film about a man having a steamship hauled over a mountain in South America was to actually go there and do it for real – take that, CGI! As for being a man of his word, well he once said that if fellow film-maker Errol Morris ever completed Gates Of Heaven he'd eat his shoe. Werner chows down at the premiere of Morris' film.
