The SECRETS within

THE AU PAIR NEW MON-THU, 9PM, CHANNEL 5 DRAMA (BOX SET, 5 FORMERLY KNOWN AS MY5) When a family hires a nanny to help with their busy lives, the consequences prove devastating in Channel 5’s latest thriller The Au Pair. The four-parter centres on seamstress Zoe Dalton (played by Beyond Paradise and Not Going Out star Sally Bretton), who lives in the Cotswolds with doctor husband Chris (Vera’s Kenny Doughty) and stepchildren Amber and Noah (rising stars Margot Pue and Ripley Barden), while also caring for her diabetic father, George (Poirot’s Sir David Suchet). As Zoe, who has recently lost a baby, starts to feel the strain of juggling family and work commitments, she reluctantly agrees to employ an au pair and efficient Sandrine (Lupin’s Ludmilla Makowski), who hails from…

TEN POUND POMS NEW SUNDAY, 8PM, BBC1 DRAMA (BOX SET, BBC iPLAYER) Michelle Keegan is clutching a big mug of tea and Faye Marsay is wrapped up in a woolly jumper as they join TV Times for a video call to discuss the second series of BBC1’s hit period drama Ten Pound Poms. It’s a cold mid-February day in England, and with rain falling against Michelle’s window, the conditions couldn’t be more different from last year’s sun-drenched shoot in Australia. ‘The weather was much better than it was for the first series,’ she says. ‘I bought a lot of warm clothes with me because it was freezing last time, but we shot a bit earlier in the year so we had some 40-degree days. I loved it!’ Both Michelle and…

NEW FACES IN TEN POUND POMS

TOWARDS ZERO SUNDAY, 9PM, BBC1 DRAMA As villainous George Warleggan in BBC1’s hit period saga Poldark, Jack Farthing was embroiled in all manner of ruthless schemes. Now, the actor is at the centre of more dangerous intrigue in 1930s-set crime drama Towards Zero. BBC1’s lavish three-part reworking of Agatha Christie’s 1944 novel sees Jack play enigmatic Thomas Royde, who, in last week’s opener, returned to Gull’s Point, the Devonshire home of his aunt, Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston), after years in Malaya running a rubber plantation. His arrival has proved less than welcome, however, and, as the series continues, he begs Lady Tressilian for money and threatens to expose a secret from the family’s past, while tensions also increase with his cousin Nevile (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). But when a killer strikes, where…

FATHER BROWN LAST ONE FRIDAY, 2PM, BBC1 DRAMA On a sunny July morning, TV Times is standing in the garden of a beautiful Cotswolds pub, surrounded by actors who are spiffily dressed in 1950s finery. We’ve been invited on set for the Series 12 finale of BBC1’s cosy whodunnit Father Brown, which features the hotly anticipated wedding of Chief Inspector Edgar Sullivan (played by Tom Chambers) and parish secretary Mrs Isabel Devine (Claudie Blakley). As we seek out a shaded spot to watch the drama unfold, it’s clear that their road to the altar won’t be a smooth one, as Sullivan’s father Walter (New Tricks star Denis Lawson) only agrees to give the union his blessing if the couple leave the (fictional) village of Kembleford for London. But Walter’s controlling…

BELGRAVIA: THE NEXT CHAPTER NEW SUN, 9PM, ITV3 DRAMA (BOX SET, ITVX) Back in 2020, ITV’s Belgravia delved into a world of secrets and scandal among the Victorian elite. Central to the period drama, which was adapted by Lord Julian Fellowes from his own novel, were the tribulations of the upwardly mobile Trenchard family, who lived in London’s swankiest district. Now, an eight-part sequel, Belgravia: The Next Chapter, executive produced by Julian but penned by Helen Edmundson (Dalgliesh), is set 30 years on, in 1871, as another generation of Trenchards faces fresh difficulties. Brooding aristocratic bachelor Frederick Trenchard (Benjamin Wainwright) is the grandson of the late James and Anne Trenchard (who were played in the original series by Philip Glenister and Tamsin Greig). He runs several successful businesses, but remains…

THE DOG HOUSE THURSDAY, 8PM, C4 FACTUAL Since scampering onto our screens in 2019, C4’s uplifting series The Dog House has captured hearts across the nation with stories of abandoned pooches hoping to be matched with their perfect owner. Keen to meet the stars of the show – both canine and human – and to experience the magic first-hand, TV Times travels to Woodgreen Pets Charity in Cambridgeshire, where the filming takes place. The sprawling site can accommodate between 40 and 70 dogs at any one time, and is run by passionate staff, who go above and beyond to help the residents swap their plush but lonely kennels for a loving home.

CHESS MASTERS: THE ENDGAME NEW MONDAY, 8PM, BBC2 ENTERTAINMENT Sue Perkins is ‘obsessed’ with chess. ‘It’s pretty addictive – I play it on the bus, on the Tube… It’s definitely got me in trouble!’ she shares. So it’s little wonder that the presenter and comedian jumped at the chance to helm Chess Masters: The Endgame, an eight-part BBC2 competition which sees 12 amateur players from across the UK battle it out in a gauntlet of brain-bending puzzles and eliminator rounds in a quest to be crowned the champion. Keeping an eye on proceedings and providing expert commentary are grandmaster and three-time British chess champion David Howell and chess coach and The Traitors Series 2 contestant Anthony Mathurin.

Accused of MURDER

ADOLESCENCE NEW FROM THU 13 MAR, NETFLIX DRAMA Earlier this year, Luther star Idris Elba examined the alarming rise in knife crime in the UK for a BBC1 documentary. Now another acclaimed British actor, Stephen Graham (This Is England, Line of Duty), is giving his take on the issue that has blighted the lives of families up and down the country in new Netflix drama Adolescence. The plot of the four-part series centres around 13-year-old Jamie Miller (played by newcomer Owen Cooper) and his family when the teenager is arrested on suspicion of murdering a female classmate. When DI Luke Bascombe (Missing You’s Ashley Walters) takes the youngster, who denies any involvement, to the police station for questioning, Jamie’s traumatised parents, Eddie (Stephen) and Manda (Emmerdale’s Christine Tremarco), along with…

Accused of MURDER

Rob Donovan is still on the run, three weeks after he legged it from hospital after donating a kidney to Carla, who then pushed him down a stairwell. Either he’s incredibly resourceful or the soap police couldn’t organise a bun fight in a bakery. This week, he’s back, but is it the end of the line for the killer, who’s had no medical attention since going under the knife and may well have picked up a nasty infection? Though there’s supposedly been a sighting of Rob in Brighton, Carla suspects he’s returned to his old stomping ground, having found signs of an intruder in her flat. When Lisa then discovers that Betsy’s bed hasn’t been slept in, she’s panic-stricken - she knows what Mr Donovan is capable of. Betsy eventually…

Ken may have drawn a line under Cassie’s sinister behaviour, but Tracy’s never been one to forgive and forget. Determined to make her dad’s ‘carer’ pay for taking the vulnerable pensioner for a ride, she decides to hit her where it hurts, and offers the recovering addict drugs. Having initially decided to flee the cobbles when her crimes came to light, Cassie – who not only laced Ken’s tea with antihistamine to make him drowsy and dependent on her, but also treated herself to a few nice bits with his credit card – has decided to stick around on the request of granddaughter Hope. ‘She is prepared to take the consequences, wipe her mouth and move on,’ says Claire Sweeney, who plays Cassie. ‘She genuinely cares for Ken, and hates…

Den Watts, David Wicks, Max Branning… Harvey Monroe. Not all Walford love rats, it seems, are silver-tongued, suit-wearing, flash gits - some go about in ‘dad’ jeans and shabby polo shirts, and have as much natural charisma as a boiled egg. The unassuming cabbie is the latest male resident to misbehave, cheating on partner Jean this week with Kathy. We ask you this, Harvey: Kathy may be the most glamorous granny on planet Earth, but can she make sausage surprise? To be fair, there’s been a frisson between Kathy and Harvey for yonks, and let’s not forget they had a cheeky snog back in October after Jean let rip at Harv for secretly helping Maya, the wife of the man his son Aaron attacked. The pair have since agreed to…

Parents at WAR!

Now that the shock of discovering he’s Barney’s father has worn off, Zack is desperate to bond with the lad, particularly as his relationship with daughter Dolly is practically non-existent. ‘In his ideal world, he’d take Barney home to his flat and be his dad, full-time,’ says James Farrar, who plays the buff chef. But Nicola is as equally determined for their secret to stay buried. She was out of Barney’s life for years and now that she’s back in it, she doesn’t want to risk losing him. There’s also ex-hubby Teddy to consider. Admitting that Barney isn’t his son is hardly going to boost her mission to win him back. With Zack piling on the pressure for the truth to be exposed, the bolshy blonde summons him to Harry’s…

As the two men then go for a walk, they open up about their feelings and start to become a lot closer. This is all rather troubling for Ste’s son Lucas, who knows exactly what kind of a man Rex is, but worries he can’t say anything for fear of the repercussions for Dillon. How will he deal with his dad’s new relationship? Meanwhile, Leela’s insecurities about hubby Joel’s feelings for ex Cleo resurface, and she offloads on a therapist called Tommy, whom it transpires she has been visiting for some time. But as Tommy consoles her, he misreads the…

Despite Caleb and Ruby’s best efforts to put her off the scent, it’s still ‘Grandad this, Grandad that’ with Steph, who’s convinced the pair aren’t telling her the truth about Anthony’s sudden ‘departure’ from the village. And when she makes a shock discovery this week that propels her to report them to the police, the duo have a decision to make: is it time to have the most difficult of conversations? Steph’s suspicions mount when she earlier gets a call on the landline from Anthony’s friend in France. ‘Anthony was meant to be going to a wedding anniversary party,’ reveals Georgia Jay, who plays Steph, ‘but before Steph can ask any questions, Ruby snatches the phone off her.’ ‘STEPH IS PLAYING DETECTIVE, FIGURING OUT A CRIME’ Convinced there’s a cover-up,…

Though Marlon’s hugely relieved to have April back, the poor love is like a tightly coiled spring, terrified that he’s going to lose her again to the dark underbelly of Leeds. His anxiety has only mounted up following the arrival of her drug-addicted pal Dylan. Desperate to get Dylan out of the village, the frantic father makes a rash decision, but it backfires spectacularly and almost costs the lad his life. Dylan is the obvious suspect when Rhona notices some ketamine is missing from the vets’ surgery. He insists he’s innocent, but the drug is found in his coat pocket, leaving April devastated. Rhona’s horrified when Marlon admits he planted the ket on Dylan, but the couple have more to stew on when they discover the teenager has taken the…

ON NOW Dream Scenario PRIME VIDEO PREMIERE BLACK COMEDY Biology professor Paul (Nicolas Cage) is an unremarkable and wilfully anonymous character – until he keeps popping up in other people’s dreams. Countless people, all over the world. What does he do about this new-found, peculiar fame? A brilliantly deadpan comedy that also happily weaves in horror elements, this deals with celebrity, cancel culture and the seemingly unstoppable power of social media with a deft, sure hand. Cage is on phenomenal form – an everyman suddenly thrust into the spotlight – which also aids director Kristoffer Borgli’s wonderful, Charlie Kaufmanesque nightmare satire, making for an inventive, wildly odd experience.

Crossing the ancient bridge over the River Lima, Michael tests the theory that it was once the ‘river of forgetfulness’ by reciting post-war British prime ministers – and, sure enough, he can’t recall anyone after Margaret Thatcher.

Jim asks Charlie to do a spot of covert intelligence gathering from her well-heeled friends to see what the local gossip is on businessman Arthur Wakefield (Philip Glenister), and whether that might provide any new leads in the murder investigation of Arthur’s daughter-in-law Cate.

KEEPING MUM As a fan of Motherland, I was apprehensive about the comedy’s spin-off, Amandaland on BBC1, but it has been brilliant. Lucy Punch is great as posh mum Amanda, as are Dame Joanna Lumley and Philippa Dunne, who play her mother Felicity and her friend Anne. Let’s hope there is more to come!

After nine series, it was time to bid farewell to the Inspector Morse prequel Endeavour starring Shaun Evans as a young Endeavour Morse. During the course of ITV’s crime drama, which took place between 1965 and 1972, Endeavour rose from detective constable to detective sergeant with Oxford police’s CID. ‘It was only supposed to be a one-off for the 25th anniversary of Inspector Morse,’ recalled Shaun of the show’s 2012 pilot episode. At the heart of the series was Endeavour’s close if sometimes fraught relationship with his boss, DCI Fred Thursday (Roger Allam). ‘Roger is amazing and I feel enormously grateful,’ Shaun told us. ‘We’ve become great friends.’ Shaun, who turns 45 on 6 March, has since appeared in ITV1’s 2024 true-crime drama Until I Kill You and also directs…
