Byron is a working-class teenager desperate for a different life. Plus: a great art series continues with Lubaina Himid. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, BBC Three

Millennials, prepare for a nostalgia rush as this rollicking adaptation of Paris Lees’ memoir takes us back to the time of Nokias, Zombie Nation and total hedonism. Life is “one big fucking party” for everyone except Byron (a brilliant breakthrough for Ellis Howard), a working-class teenager desperate to escape constant homophobia and hopelessness. Sex work leads Byron to Nottingham’s underground scene and a fun-loving group called the Fallen Divas. But the party can’t last for ever … It’s a bold and captivating opening episode that doesn’t flinch from exploring the big issues (Byron is only 15 when being paid for sex) and tells the story with authenticity and humour.
