8.05pm, Channel 4
Lovely Sandi Toksvig is travelling along the French Riviera, following in the footsteps of artists, writers and freethinkers who made the glamorous holiday destination “the beating heart of intellectual life” in the 20th century. After the shock of the first train actually arriving on time in Marseille, Toksvig heads to Sanary-sur-Mer, where Brave New World author Aldous Huxley and German writers Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht spent time.
