Fuelled by his own experience, the chef bids high to spark an educational reform. Plus: Jane Austen’s Emma takes shape on the page. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, Channel 4Love or loathe him, there’s no denying that Jamie Oliver has used his profile more than most to campaign for better opportunities for young people. This time, though, it’s personal. Oliver, who has dyslexia, is calling for educational reform to ensure dyslexic children aren’t left behind. He speaks to pupils who feel “stupid, worthless, dumb” as he did, teachers who say training isn’t fit for purpose and dyslexic celebrities such as Holly Willoughby. This leads to a meeting with the secretary of state for education, Bridget Phillipson, who is presented with voice notes from dyslexic people: “I hated being me, I hated school, I hated life.” Is it enough to make change happen?
