I found myself once more tackling these difficult and profound questions when I tuned into the BBC’s latest landmark natural history series, Life (BBC One, Monday, 9pm).

Before addressing all that latent profundity swilling around in my brain, the first question I asked while watching was: “Hasn’t Attenborough done all this many times before?” My answer (I talk to myself a lot) – probably.

The star of the show is our very own Ludovic Dieumegard – the Breton-born, and very talented, head chef at Yr Hen Fuwch Goch in Newcastle Emlyn Chanel Bags.

This week’s quarter finalists have been put through the mill in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants, where food is treated as high art, replete with lots of foamy sauces – and not simply as a means to keep you alive.

For pointers on what not to do, watch the amusing How Not To Live Your Life (BBC Three, Tuesday, 10.30pm). Sitcoms on this channel are notoriously hit-and-miss but this one, starring Dan Clark as the dysfunctional Don – a 29-year-old idiot – presses my comedy buttons Gucci Handbags.

This week saw Don projectile vomiting over gym enthusiast Grant Bibbib and undergoing a course of colonic irrigation as he embarked on a fitness drive with his foxy flatmate Samantha.
