TV tonight: the shameful reality of what flying is like for disabled people ================================================ Sophie Morgan's Fight to Fly ---------------------------- 9pm, Channel 4 "We're treated like luggage, like cattle." This documentary's opening footage of the reality of flying as experienced by disabled people is shameful. So much so that paraplegic TV presenter Sophie Morgan is taking the issue to the White House and Downing Street, and campaigning for laws to ensure the use of an invention that could allow passengers to stay in their wheelchairs while flying. Hollie Richardson The Battle to Beat Malaria -------------------------- 8pm, BBC Two Malaria is responsible for the deaths of about 600,000 people every year - mainly children under five - and makes a further 200 million sick. And yet just one costly and extremely limited vaccine exists. Could the R21/Matrix-M vaccine, developed by Oxford scientists, be the answer? With its 75% efficacy, it may be a real turning point, as Horizon investigates. Ali Catterall Surviving the Post Office ------------------------- 8.30pm, BBC One After starring in Mr Bates vs the Post Office - the ITV drama that earlier this year compelled government action on the real Post Office scandal - Will Mellor meets some of the subpostmasters whose lives were torn apart by it, and learns what the series and the action it led to has really meant. HR Long Lost Family ---------------- 9pm, ITV1 Melanie is searching for her twin- sister siblings, and in doing so she discovers sad truths about her mother's desperate life as a homeless second world war refugee from what was then Yugoslavia. Meanwhile, in Bedfordshire, Sue Stalley demonstrates a maternal bond that has endured for more than half a century. Ellen E Jones House of the Dragon ------------------- 9pm, Sky Atlantic With the horribly flame- grilled Aegon laid up in bed for the foreseeable, his scheming brother Aemond has filled the royal power vacuum at King's Landing. But will his disdain for the common folk bite him in the bum? Elsewhere, exiled queen Rhaenyra moves ahead with her "mad thought" of finding some unorthodox dragon riders. Graeme Virtue We Hunt Together ---------------- 10.40pm, BBC One The eccentric detective drama starring Babou Ceesay and Eve Myles continues to mix criminal psychology with macabre farce (this week, an abortive attempt to flush a severed finger down a toilet). As the endgame approaches, the net has finally closed round Freddy until a new lead muddies the waters once again.
