description: It's looking good for season 2...
encoded: More than three years on from the Detectorists Christmas special, Mackenzie Crook returned to screens with his third project, Small Prophets, which was met with widespread acclaim from critics and viewers alike. The six-part series, as funny as it is sad, follows Michael Sleep, who miraculously grows creatures with the ability to predict the future in his garden shed, hoping to learn what became of his girlfriend Clea. She walked out on him nearly seven years ago – but he's never stopped hoping that one day she'll return. Yet his attempt to bring the small prophets to life becomes the very adventure he needs to pull himself out of his funk – and sparks an unexpected friendship with his colleague Kacey, which is one of the true joys of the series alongside a delightful turn from Sir Michael Palin as Michael's dad Brian. It's a moving tale of love, friendship, hope and a touch of magic, which has clearly resonated with audiences. Small Prophets is the BBC's biggest new scripted launch of the year to date, attracting 7.7 million viewers (28-day figure) for episode 1. That also makes it the biggest comedy launch episode across the market (excluding specials) since Ludwig in 2024 (9.5 million viewers, 28 days). For BBC Two, it's the biggest comedy episode of the last 10 years, well ahead of the Detectorists 2022 Christmas special (4.5 million). And it's also the biggest comedy launch on iPlayer since at least 2022 (ahead of Ludwig episode 1 at 5.5 million), bringing in 5.9 million for its first episode, while 4 million viewers have already watched the entire series on iPlayer. "I couldn’t be happier with the response to Small Prophets. The feedback from the audience, the reviews and figures have been better than I dared to hope," said Mackenzie Crook. “I gradually crafted this idea over about 10 years and I think it has benefited from that slow percolation. The BBC comedy department has long given me the space, support and trust to make my shows and there is nowhere else…

description: We're going to have to wait a little longer for the season finale...
encoded: Death in Paradise has already fallen victim to a couple of schedule changes this year, and unfortunately we're going to have to wait a little longer for the season 15 finale. Episode 8 of the murder mystery has been rescheduled due to Comic Relief, which is airing this Friday (20 March) from 7pm to 10pm. Davina McCall will lead the coverage, with Katherine Ryan, Nick Mohammed, Joel Dommett and Catherine Tate (as Nan from The Catherine Tate Show) all playing their part to bring the laughs. There will also be an array of sketches celebrating the best of the BBC, including The Traitors and Amandaland, while Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary will star in The Bank Job. So, while it's not a like for like replacement, there will be more than enough to keep you entertained before Death in Paradise returns on Friday 27 March at 9pm. And it's a double Paradise bill, with Beyond Paradise season 4 debuting immediately before at 8pm. In the penultimate episode of Death in Paradise season 15, Mervin discovered that he has a niece, Eloise, who is certainly her father's daughter, as evidenced by her confident attitude. But while it's not something he was remotely prepared for, we have a feeling he's going to surprise everyone and the pair of them will form quite the bond – and hopefully pave the way for Mervin and Solomon to repair their relationship. And we also have an official synopsis for Beyond Paradise, which teases the blurring of fact and folklore as the team investigate the death of a novelist who predicted their demise, a magical night of Dark Morris that soon turns sour, a stolen treasure map that suddenly reappears, and the alleged sighting of a vengeful mermaid lurking out at sea. Just another normal one in Shipton Abbot, then...

description: Everything you need to know.
encoded: Pride and Prejudice was all about Elizabeth Bennet, but The Other Bennet Sister turns the spotlight on her sister, Mary, who has always existed in the shadow of her siblings. Based on the novel of the same name by Janice Hadlow, the time has come for the middle Bennet sister, played by Ella Bruccoleri, to come into her own by leaving the family home for Regency London and the Lake District. In the midst of her newfound independence, Mary finds herself with suitors to her left and her right, but it's far from smooth sailing. "Mary's not your typical period drama heroine," said Bruccoleri. "She lives in a world where, particularly for women, appearance is everything, and she doesn’t understand that value system at all. "Instead, she turns to literature that offers a different viewpoint. Her favourite book is Fordyce’s Sermons to Young Women, because it argues that women shouldn’t have to be beautiful — they should be intelligent and pious." Alongside Bruccoleri, a number of familiar faces make up the cast of The Other Bennet Sister, including a Gavin & Stacey legend.

description: The BBC drama turns the spotlight on the "overlooked" Bennet Sister, Mary.
encoded: While we've got nothing against Elizabeth Bennet personally, she's enjoyed more than her fair share of time in the spotlight. The same, however, cannot be said for her sister Mary, who takes centre stage in the aptly titled The Other Bennet Sister. The 10-part BBC drama, based on Janice Hadlow's novel of the same name, stars Ella Bruccoleri (Call the Midwife, Bridgerton) as the "seemingly unremarkable and overlooked" middle Bennet child who leaves her family home for Regency London and the rolling peaks of the Lake District. It's there where she finally begins to come into her own – and finds herself "in the middle of an epic love story along the way". "I think Mary has spent her childhood wishing she was Lizzie Bennet and it's only when she breaks away that she realises she doesn't have to be," Bruccoleri told Radio Times magazine. Bruccoleri stars in the series alongside several familiar faces, including Ruth Jones and Richard E Grant as Mrs and Mr Bennet, who all gathered for filming in Wales. But where, exactly, were they based? Read on for a rundown of the main locations in The Other Bennet Sister. The Other Bennet Sister filming locations The Other Bennet Sister was predominantly filmed in Wales. Key locations included: Dyffryn House and Gardens, Vale of Glamorgan - the poetry reading scene was filmed in the Pompeian Garden. St Fagans National Museum of History, Cardiff. Llancaiach Fawr Manor, Caerphilly - the museum doubled as the inside of the inn. Penpont House, Brecon - doubled as Meryton Village. Brecon Beacons - the boat scenes on Lake Windermere were filmed on a private lake in the Brecon Beacons, and Scafell Pyke mountain was actually the Black Mountains. Longbourne is actually a private house in Bridgend. Ella Bruccoleri told Country and Town House that she "loved" filming in Wales. "I can't speak highly enough about it; it was like a revelation for me," she added. "I'd only been there once, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this is the most beautiful count…

description: Did you see it coming?
encoded: **Warning: contains full spoilers for ITV's Gone and Sky's Mare of Easttown.** Partway through the finale of ITV thriller Gone, it's established that Michael Polly did not kill his wife Sarah. While the headmaster was swept up in the pressures of running a school that demands everything from those affiliated with it, no matter the cost, the music teacher looked to Stephen Sedgwick, the father of the school's star rugby player Dylan. Not only was she yearning for comfort, she needed to feel seen given that her husband had withdrawn from her entirely. More than anything, Sarah needed to confirm that she wasn't a ghost in her own life. "When your mum needed me to admit that things were going wrong, needed change, I wasn't there for her," a repentant Michael admitted to Alana at the police station. "Then she stopped trying, she stopped talking. I could see my wife and I knew what was happening, and I didn't do anything, just let it happen." But with Michael firmly out of the frame for Sarah's murder, who would end the series in handcuffs? For a full breakdown of who killed Sarah and why, read on.

Thankfully, it seems this may not be the last time we return to Sacred Heart Hospital, as creator Bill Lawrence has said that he is "really hopeful" the revival will get a season 2, after its premiere episode saw strong viewership figures. So far, the new season has already included a few genuine surprises, such as JD and Elliot's divorce which was revealed in episode 1. In addition to developing its new and returning characters, Scrubs is also reflecting recent developments in medicine, perhaps in an effort to hold onto its regularly cited title of TV's most accurate depiction of the profession. If you can't get enough of this nostalgic revival, read on for everything you need to know about the Scrubs season 10 release schedule – including when to expect episode 5. When will episode 5 of Scrubs season 10 be released? Scrubs season 10 is working to a weekly release schedule, which means that episode 5 will be released on Wednesday 18 March on ABC/Hulu in the US and Thursday 19 March on Disney+ in the UK. The high-profile revival launched worldwide with a double-bill in late February. Check out our Scrubs season 10 review for a detailed verdict on whether it's worth watching. How many episodes are there in Scrubs season 10? There are a total of nine episodes in Scrubs season 10. That's quite a bit shorter than the show's earliest seasons – so here's hoping more seasons are on their way. Scrubs season 10 release schedule Episodes of Scrubs season 10 will be released weekly.

encoded: Aside from a couple of other projects, Call the Midwife has been Heidi Thomas's life since 2012 when it first debuted on the BBC – but also long before that, when she first began immersing herself in the memoirs of nurse and midwife Jennifer Worth. But while there's a prequel and a movie on the way, plus a 16th season beyond that (although it'll be quite some before its premiere), the end is now within sight as times change in Poplar. So naturally, Thomas has allowed her mind to meander elsewhere. "I am working on something more contemporary later this year," she said at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026. "My main preoccupation at the moment is the Call the Midwife prequel and film, but it will be nice to have something different in the mix." Still, Thomas said she "passionately enjoy[s] historic storytelling" – though, she added wryly, the latest season of Call the Midwife is set in the 1970s, "which I remember".

It's made me think a great deal about my mother's experience as a child in the Blitz, and my grandmother's experience as a young mother.

Alana is deeply concerned and begins frantically trying to locate her, while Michael appears entirely unmoved – and more concerned with the fortunes of the school rugby team. A missing person's investigation is eventually launched, as they continue to wait. But everything ratchets up several gears when Sarah's body is uncovered in some woodland near the family home – and the pathologist reveals she was strangled. But is Michael responsible? Their marriage had its fair share of problems – including Sarah's affair with the dad of the rugby team's star player – who also becomes a suspect. Or is there someone else lurking in plain sight? A number of familiar faces appear in the series alongside Morrissey and Myles. But who else joins them? Find a rundown of the major players in Gone below.

description: David Morrissey and Eve Myles star in the ITV crime thriller.
encoded: ITV thriller Gone stars David Morrissey as the headmaster of a renowned private school who is suspected of killing his wife. After Sarah Polly, a music teacher at the same school, is reported missing by Michael and their daughter Alana, also a teacher there, her body is later discovered in some woodland near the family home. But is Michael really capable of murder? DS Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, is immediately suspicious given his complete lack of emotion, of any kind, in the immediate aftermath. "He's a product, certainly, of his institution," explained Morrissey to Radio Times when asked if his restraint indicates something sinister, or is simply who he is." Running along the central storyline is a cold case which haunts Annie – something that is compounded by the close relationship she has formed with the victim's mother. That strand of the story is based on the real-life murder of Melanie Road, a 17 year old who was sexually assaulted and murdered while on her way home from a night out with friends in Bath back in June 1984. It was former Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay of Gloucestershire Police who solved the cold case murder more than three decades later. "It's a fascinating story, it's an extraordinary case to follow," Myles told Radio Times. "Coming to something having an anniversary on Crime Watch after 25 years to highlight that the killer hadn't been caught for this horrendous crime, for Julie to come in after that 25 year anniversary and six years later catch the killer is an extraordinary thing to do." A good chunk of the action in Gone unfolds at the school and the Polly house, alongside a number of other locations – which viewers will likely recognise due to the distinctive look and feel of the city where the production was based.

After the headmaster returns home one afternoon with their daughter Alana, who also teaches at the school alongside Sarah, they quickly realise she isn't there – despite being scheduled to give a music lesson with a pupil. The pair wait, but are eventually left with no choice but to contact the police, and a missing person's investigation is subsequently launched. Yet the ground shifts beneath them once again when a body is discovered by a dog walker in woodland near their home. But despite the deeply concerning circumstances, Michael's reaction to the situation at hand – or lack thereof – catches the eye of DS Annie Cassidy, who describes him, somewhat generously, as a "funny fish". The headmaster appears more concerned with the school and coaching the rugby team than he does with what's unfolding in his personal life. "He's not reacting the way that one would expect," Eve Myles told Radio Times. "And that's interesting to Annie. There's a reason for that, and that's what her intention is – to understand why he's reacting the way he is, and what it is he's not saying.” But is Michael simply a product of his environment, or has something more sinister unfolded behind the scenes?

From the death of Sister Monica Joan to the closure of Nonnatus Houses's maternity ward – a devastating development that prompted some of the characters to move on to pastures new – it very much felt like one door closing. "I shed more tears during the making of that episode [the finale] than any other," Thomas told Radio Times magazine. "I thought, 'Am I crying because of the story or am I crying because it's our last episode for a while?' In the end, I think it’s a mixture of everything." There's still plenty to come, however, with a prequel series and a movie in the pipeline, plus season 16 beyond that. But when might we expect more of the original series? And which cast members could return given the shifting sands? Read on for everything we know so far about Call the Midwife season 16. Call the Midwife season 16 release date speculation: When could it air? Unlike previous instalments of the drama, this one is tricky to predict. Typically, there is a Christmas special to kick off the new season before episode 2 arrives in January, but that won't be the case in 2027.

Meanwhile, Paapa Essiedu is also back as Isaac Turner as are a number of other major cast members, and a host of newcomers are joining, including Killian Scott and Joe Dempsie. But when is The Capture back on our screens, who else is returning to the cast and what is this latest season about? Read on for everything you need to know about The Capture season 3.

It was confirmed in April 2025, almost three years after season 2 first aired, that a third season was on the way. When season 3 was first announced, creator Ben Chanan said in a statement: "I am delighted to join up with Holliday Grainger, Lia Williams, Ben Miles, Ron Perlman, and all our brilliant cast on The Capture again, and to welcome the fantastic Killian Scott to the fold. "Previous seasons have seen Holliday’s Rachel Carey investigate others as their lives fall apart. Most of all, I am excited that series 3 puts Carey at the heart of the conspiracy." Fans perhaps shouldn't be surprised that it took so long for a third season to be confirmed. Back in 2023, Chanan told Radio Times that he would have to wait a while for the tech world to catch up with his fictional one, as he always wanted to be one step ahead…

Gone review: David Morrissey is bone-chilling in ITV coercive control thriller

description: When the wife of elite school headmaster Michael Polly (David Morrissey) goes missing, DS Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles) suspects he knows more than he’s letting on.
encoded: Only the first episode was made available for review at the time of writing. David Morrissey last appeared on screen in the second season of Daddy Issues, a BBC comedy in which he plays an incompetent yet well-meaning man trying to rebuild his relationship with his daughter (Aimee Lou Wood) while adapting to life as a first-time granddad. It's a delightful and inspired departure from the grittier roles he's come to be recognised for (Sherwood, State of Play, The Walking Dead), although delivered with the same commitment as those performances. But Morrissey returns to his bread and butter in ITV crime thriller Gone. Written by George Kay – who also penned Yorkshire Ripper drama The Long Shadow, in which Morrissey also starred – it could well be his most unsettling work to date. He plays Michael Polly, the headmaster of a renowned private school in Bristol – the Range Rover and Latin kind – who takes Britain's stiff upper lip to an entirely new level. He returns home from work one afternoon with his daughter Alana – played with authentic emotional honesty by Emma Appleton, who also teaches at the school – only to discover that his wife Sarah, another teacher there, is missing. Alana's concern is immediate – Sarah was scheduled to take a music lesson with a pupil at the house, so it's highly unlikely she's simply popped out to grab some milk. Michael, by contrast, appears entirely unmoved. His demeanour is no different from when he's addressing pupils during morning assembly or dealing with paperwork. And as the hours crawl by, it's Alana – not Michael – who takes charge of the situation, despite his need for iron-clad control in every other aspect of his life. She's desperately trying to get to the bottom of her mum's absence. He appears more concerned with the school rugby team's chances of winning the championship.

description: Screenwriter George Kay has woven fact with fiction in this compelling ITV crime thriller.
encoded: From the outside looking in, the Polly family in ITV's Gone appear to be the picture of harmony. Michael (David Morrissey) is the headmaster of a prestigious private school, while his wife Sarah and their daughter Alana (Emma Appleton) are also teachers at the same famed institution. But one afternoon, Michael and Alana return home to discover that Sarah is missing. After waiting in the hope that she will walk through their front door, they eventually contact the police and a missing persons investigation is launched. But DS Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles), who is assigned the role of family liaison officer, is almost immediately suspicious of Michael. Not only does he appear entirely unmoved by the situation at hand, he appears more concerned with running the school and coaching the rugby team than engaging with the police, or comforting his daughter. But is Michael simply a product of his environment? Or is there a far more sinister reason for his chilling behaviour? Running alongside the central investigation, Annie remains haunted by a historic case she was unable to solve: the disappearance of a young woman called Tina Bradley. Over the years, the detective has grown close to the victim's mother, Carol, but as time continues to pass with no further developments, she "appears to be losing faith in her". "Will Annie ever find justice for Carol's daughter?" asks the official synopsis.

encoded: Death in Paradise took a particularly sinister turn in last week's episode when Mervin travelled to Antigua to smooth things over with his brother Solomon – only to find himself taken hostage. Naomi had encouraged him to make the trip after the DI confided in her that he blamed himself for the pair going their separate ways. After getting off on the wrong foot – which included Solomon asking Mervin to lend him some money, despite only just meeting, and then stealing the detective's belongings when he refused – Mervin gave him what for when he finally got a hold of his wheeler dealer sibling. "My life has been turned upside down since you came into it. I'm a detective inspector, do you understand that? I need to not be chasing around after you," he said, shedding a few tears in an uncharacteristic display. And after that, Solomon decided to keep his distance. But Mervin was clearly still holding on to some hope that there was a relationship to be salvaged, and off he went to patch things up – except his plan has since hit a brick wall, while a panicked Naomi was later seen racing to inform her colleagues that something very bad had happened to Mervin, who was shown tied to a chair in an unknown location. In episode 6, the team immediately spring into action and "begin a search party to find their disappeared detective". "But compelled to join forces with the Antiguan authorities, it looks like their mission could be thwarted by an old colleague with an axe to grind," reads the official synopsis.

encoded: Add DTF St Louis to your watchlist **Contains spoilers from episode 1 of DTF St Louis.** More often than not, new shows have a habit of feeling like a version of something you've seen before. Even if it's not a prequel or a sequel, a reboot or a reimagining, there's a flavour, so to speak, that evokes something else. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the crime genre, where it's increasingly rare to find originality – although tried and tested formulas can still deliver satisfying results if executed well. Case in point: Mare of Easttown. But DTF St Louis, a darkly comic murder-mystery airing on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK, feels fresh and uninhibited by what has come before. Created, written and directed by Steve Conrad (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Pursuit of Happyness), the limited series stars Ozark's Jason Bateman ("I appreciate Jason’s commitment to showing the rest of the world how strange the state of Missouri truly is at its core," reads one YouTube comment) and David Harbour as colleagues Clark Forrest, a local weatherman, and Floyd Smernitch, a sign language interpreter. It's not your average crime series dynamic, that's for sure. The pair strike up a friendship after Floyd narrowly stops Clark from being decapitated by a stop sign while reporting on an incoming tornado and they grow close – so close, in fact, that Clark, who's married and has two kids, feels comfortable enough to share a dark secret with Floyd. He's downloaded a hook-up app: DTF St Louis (that's 'down to f**k', for the uninitiated. Fans of Jersey Shore, of which this writer was regrettably one, will already be well acquainted with the term). And he gently encourages Floyd, who's also married (Linda Cardellini plays his wife Carol) to do the same. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/02/0104DTF-StLouisS01-770c68f.jpg" width="6000" height="4000" alt="Two men wearing matching green waterproof jackets with the hoods up and protecti…

description: Is Michael Sleep really heading to Canada? And will he finally come face to afce with Clea?
encoded: If you had access to magical spirits that could predict the future, what would you want to know? That's the irresistible premise behind Mackenzie Crook's BBC Two comedy Small Prophets. The six-part series follows Michael Sleep's quest to learn what happened to his girlfriend Clea, who disappeared nearly seven years ago on Christmas Eve – and whether he'll ever see her again. So, with some encouragement from his dad, he sets about growing the homunculi – or small prophets – in big glass jars in his shed and, lo and behold, they appear before him. And with some slightly more forceful encouragement from his mate Kacey, he finally asks the questions he has so desperately wanted the answers to for so long. But now that he's armed with that information, what's next? Read on for everything we know so far about a potential Small Prophets season 2. Has Small Prophets been renewed for season 2? The BBC has yet to announce if more Small Prophets is on the cards, but the finale ends with the words 'To be continued', so we have high hopes, much like Michael and Kacey when we leave them.

encoded: A number of long-running shows have been hit with schedule changes recently, including Death in Paradise, which has been bumped from its usual BBC One timeslot yet again. Season 15 episode 6 of the murder mystery has been rescheduled due to an FA Cup tie between Wolves and Liverpool airing live this Friday (6 March), with coverage running from 7:45pm to 10pm. Death in Paradise would usually air at 9pm on BBC One, but has instead been moved to Monday 9 March at 9pm. However, if you can’t wait that long, you can watch it this Friday at 8:45pm on BBC iPlayer (that’s 15 minutes earlier than normal), as confirmed on Instagram. After making a disastrous first impression on his half-brother Mervin, Solomon decided to remove himself from the equation and headed to Antigua, where he had some business to deal with. But while the DI's frustration with Solomon was valid, he also placed some of the blame for the breakdown of their brief relationship on himself. So, with some encouragement from Naomi, Mervin decided to travel to the island to find him and smooth things over. But that backfired spectacularly when he was seemingly taken hostage.

description: Welcome back to Shipton Abbott.
encoded: Beyond Paradise season 4 is just around the corner and, as is tradition, several guest stars will be heading to Shipton Abbott as the island's police force find themselves investigating another run of mysteries. Familiar faces include EastEnders' Phil Daniels, who previously appeared in season 1 as fisherman Marvellous Harris, and Gavin & Stacey star Melanie Walters, whose role has yet to be revealed. According to the official synopsis: "Fact and folklore blur as the team investigate the death of a novelist who predicted their demise, a magical night of Dark Morris that soon turns sour, a stolen treasure map that suddenly reappears, and the alleged sighting of a vengeful mermaid lurking out at sea." Elsewhere, Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) "launch into married life as they search for a new home, while Humphrey wrestles with an impossible decision that may change the lives of everyone at the station forever". But it remains to be seen whether they will continue to foster or even consider adoption – especially given just how painful it was to say goodbye to Rosie last season when she returned to her biological mum. The guest cast for season 4 also includes Susan George (Straw Dogs), Colin McFarlane (The War Between the Land and the Sea), Michael Cochrane (The Archers), Vincent Franklin (The Thick of It), Alex Macqueen (The Inbetweeners) and Tristan Sturrock (Poldark). Rounding it out are Andrea Lowe (Sherwood), Rachel Cassidy (Downton Abbey), Emily Stott (Foundation), Rina Mahoney (Happy Valley), Susan Penhaligon (A Fine Romance), James Clay (MobLand), Kenneth Collard (Cuckoo) and Narinda Samra (Ackley Bridge). Beyond Paradise season 4 will also see the return of Zahra Ahmadi (DS Esther Williams), Dylan Llewellyn (PC Kelby Hartford), Barbara Flynn (Anne Lloyd), Felicity Montagu (Margo Martins), Jamie Bamber (Archie Hughes), Melina Sinadinou (Zoe Williams) and Eva Feiler (Lucy Thompson).

The character's mental and physical health has been in decline for some time now, but still, she soldiered on, as tough as it often was – although she began to reflect more openly on her life and what might await her at the end of it. But it's not only Sister Monica Joan who must now confront the inevitable passage of time. Her Nonnatus House family must also sit with the painful reality that there will come a time when she's no longer with them, as depicted in the image of Nurse Crane below. When Dr Turner first delivered the news, she vowed to love Sister Monica Joan "as we always have, but a bit more carefully" – and she's sticking to her word. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/02/551564-0c2c83f.jpg" width="4284" height="2856" alt="An older woman with short curly hair sits beside a bed, gently holding the hand of someone lying under the covers.

"And when I walked onto the set, I just sobbed, I sobbed like a baby. It was really emotional. So if I was a mess – and I'm heart of steel – then the audience will be a mess as well."

"I think it's the premise of the story," said Emilia Fox, who's played Dr Nikki Alexander since 2004 (via the BBC), when asked why people still tune in. "I always like to think of it as a behind the scenes of crime solving. The credit should really go to the late, great Nigel McCrery who came up with the idea in the first place and to Amanda Burton, playing Sam Ryan. It's thanks to the legacy that they left us that the show continues. "I think it’s also this look at human beings and what they are capable of – the good and the bad. There is something reassuring about a team of people who are doing good, trying to make sense of things and get justice." David Caves added: "It's comforting in a strange way, even though it's about death. Death is a mystery, 'the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns' to quote Hamlet.

encoded: There's still plenty of life left in Call the Midwife yet. A World War two-era prequel series, a movie set overseas featuring current cast, and season 16 are all in the pipeline. But the end of the series as we have known it since 2012, when it first debuted, is fast approaching (some may argue we're already there given the impact of the NHS's sweeping changes on Nonnatus House). And of course, the series will end altogether sooner rather than later. But while Call the Midwife will one day be no more, its characters will live on beyond the credits – and it seems Trixie intends to remain in London, rather than relocating permanently to New York, despite admitting her marriage was on the rocks. In tonight's episode (Sunday 1 March), she was offered the position of matron at The Lady Emily Clinic for Women and Babies, a private medical facility in Mayfair. Trixie completed a placement there back in season 10, but this would be a permanent move if she accepted – which she did, on one condition. "I can't commence until the new year. I need to give in my notice to Nonnatus House, they're not in the best shape at this present time." While Dr Turner's GP surgery is to remain open, Nonnatus Houses's maternity home is set to close, meaning the midwives will need to find other employment while the nuns are beginning to commence plans for missionary work elsewhere. But it would be a marked shift for Trixie, who has spent the whole of her career in the East End, delivering babies from all walks of life and in all manner of settings. View Green Video on the source website "It was, and still is, a privilege," she said of her time working at Nonnatus House. But soon, her duties will lie elsewhere – with potentially more to come. "We have new adventures to look forward to," said Mr Scarisbrick, who runs the clinic. "In due course, I'll have something else to put to you," he adds and in the teaser for the finale, he asks Trixie if she would consider entering into partnership with him…

description: Mervin made some new discoveries in tonight's episode.
encoded: Family dynamics can be complicated, as Death in Paradise's Mervin knows all too well. He first arrived in Saint Marie to track down his mother Dorna, who was given up for adoption as a young child. But that reunion didn't happen because she had been murdered a few months prior – a mystery which Mervin himself uncovered and then managed to solve. But little did he know that he also had a half brother, Solomon, who he eventually came face to face with, after some hesitation – although it was a far cry from the introduction he had hoped for or envisaged. "I think phrases like ‘two peas in a pod’, do not apply," said Don Gilet ahead of season 15 (via the BBC). "They couldn't be more opposite. "There's Mervin and then there's this guy who is on the opposite side of the tracks... he's having to accept that whatever his notions were about what Solomon could be like, it might not be like that." That became painfully apparent when Solomon stole all of Mervin's belongings after the DI refused to lend him some money, which resulted in a confrontation between the pair which saw Mervin knocked into a swimming pool by his sibling. Solomon did eventually apologise for his behaviour and returned Mervin's possessions, but there was no happy conclusion. While Mervin was still holding out hope that they might be able to start again and really build something, Solomon made the executive decision to keep his distance. He hopped on a boat to Antigua to take care of some business there – and that, it seemed, was that. But more fool us for thinking that was the end of Solomon. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/01/DIP-Mervin-brother-25f0fb2.jpg" width="4284" height="2856" alt="Two men stand beside an outdoor swimming pool, one shirtless in patterned swim shorts and the other dressed in a short-sleeve shirt and trousers, appearing to talk seriously as people relax on loungers in the foreground and greenery surrounds the pool area." title="EMBARGOED Dea…

encoded: **Warning: Major Under Salt Marsh spoilers ahead.** Under Salt Marsh's Naomi Yang said she was "shocked" by the identity of Cefin and Nessa's killer, but that the reveal "makes sense". The Sky Atlantic crime thriller is set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen, where the body of nine-year-old Cefin is found in a drainage ditch by former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis (Kelly Reilly). No stranger to loss herself following the disappearance of her young niece Nessa several years ago, Jackie is confident that the two tragedies are linked – something Detective Eric Bull, her former work partner and friend, initially refuses to entertain. But as the facts of the case come to light, that connection is undeniable as the grisly truth is laid bare. "I think it's always a sign of really good writing when you're shocked, but then immediately you're like, ah, it makes sense," added Yang, who plays Bull's current partner DC Jess Deng. "Sometimes you're shocked because they've pulled it out of nowhere, but this makes sense, and it's really impactful." For a full breakdown of Under Salt Marsh's ending, read on.

Dirty Business true story: 'This is something that affects all of us... we should all be a lot angrier'

description: The Channel 4 factual drama, starring Jason Watkins and David Thewlis, delivers a damning indictment of the decline of Britain’s waterways and its devastating impact on wildlife and public health. Campaigner Peter Hammond and actor Tom McKay spoke exclusively to Radio Times about the urgent need for change.
encoded: Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few years, you'll be well aware of the scandal of water companies pumping raw, untreated sewage into British waterways on an industrial – and illegal– scale. When sewage works become overwhelmed during periods of exceptionally heavy rainfall, operators are legally permitted to release waste into our rivers and seas – but only then – and they must report that to the Environment Agency (EA). Yet, as Channel 4’s Dirty Business spotlights, not only are the water companies failing to tell the regulator – it's also happening year-round, even when there's been no rain at all. In fact, the series reveals there were nearly one million sewage dumps in 2024 alone. That's one every 30 seconds. It is a national disgrace which has entered the public consciousness in no small part thanks to campaigners Peter Hammond and Ashley Smith, played by Jason Watkins and David Thewlis respectively. After becoming neighbours, the academic and former police detective joined forces to investigate what was really going on when they noticed the River Windrush – which runs underneath Peter's home, a converted mill in the Cotswolds – had changed colour. What has emerged is "one of the biggest potential corporate scandals in British history", according to writer and director Joseph Bullman – and one that is having a devastating impact on our wildlife and our health. If Peter and Ash's crusade is the brain of Dirty Business, Heather Preen's story is the heart. She was eight years old when she died after being infected by e-coli 0157 in 1999. Two weeks prior, she had been on a beach in Devon with her family when she fell into a pool of water which they alleged had toilet paper floating in it. Heather soon became dangerously ill and her health deteriorated rapidly. "I don't think I realised that it got to the point of people losing their lives because you assume as a lay person that things could not be allowed to get that bad," Tom McKay, who plays H…

encoded: Call the Midwife fans will need to brace themselves ahead of the season 15 finale, which Helen George has described as "really emotional". "There's this scene, I won't really go into detail, but it sort of encompasses all of the characters that we've had on the show over the last 15 years," said the Trixie actor at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026. "And when I walked onto the set, I just sobbed, I sobbed like a baby. It was really emotional. So if I was a mess – and I'm heart of steel – then the audience will be a mess as well." Renee Bailey, who plays Joyce, went on to say that it's Call the Midwife "at its whole," adding: "It makes you laugh, it makes you cry. It's a hug and it's also heartbreaking. It's a mix of everything, but I think audiences are going to love it." "I've been thinking about it more and more as we get into the spring", said Rosalind actor Natalie Quarry. "I think it really will, hopefully, stay with people." View Green Video on the source website Fans of Call the Midwife were already gearing themselves up for maximum emotional impact after show creator Heidi Thomas told Radio Times that season 15 brings an era to an end, and that the finale was "hard" to write.

"In these episodes, I'm playing scenes there's no way I can leave behind," the actor told Radio Times. "It's been horrendous, on occasion. For an actor, a vivid imagination is wonderful to have – and hell to live with. "So having all that to play was wonderful. I don't know what I'll do without her, actually." Add Radio Times as a Pre…

Why Call the Midwife isn't on this weekend – and when it will be back

description: Heidi Thomas's beloved period drama has been bumped from the schedule.
encoded: Call the Midwife creator Heidi Thomas has written countless emotional storylines across the show's 15 seasons, but the confirmation that Sister Monica Joan is nearing the end could well be the most devastating. It was confirmed in the most recent episode that she has chronic kidney disease, for which there is no cure. "Unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is, she'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly," warned Dr Turner (Stephen McGann), as a sombre Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett) vowed to "love her as we always have, but a bit more carefully". Actor Judy Parfitt – who is now 90 herself – has been part of the beloved period drama from the very beginning, bringing a singular wit and gravitas to the role, and becoming a firm favourite among much of the viewership – all of which makes imagining the show without her a near-total impossibility. Thomas told Radio Times that while it was "hard" writing the season 15 finale, it was also "beautiful". "Many of the things that I depict in that episode I have experienced in life, so it felt strangely personal," she explained. "But I think the driving thing was to do a really good job. We're only getting the chance to wrap up this iteration once, and it has to be done to the highest possible standard. "So it's hard and it's very emotional — not because it's sad, but because it's beautiful." But there will be no further developments this Sunday evening (22 February), which is when the series typically airs, after it was bumped from the schedule. Read on to find out why. Why isn't Call the Midwife on this weekend? Awards season is well underway with the return of the BAFTA Film awards, which will air on Sunday 22 February on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 7-9pm, which sadly means no Call the Midwife this week.

description: The investment banking drama returns for its fourth outing.
encoded: It's only a matter of days until Industry returns on our screens for what is set to be another gripping instalment, this time with a step away from the walls of Pierpoint & Co. The stellar main cast is once again headed up by Myha'la, Marisa Abela and Ken Leung, with season 3's Kit Harington returning as Sir Henry Muck who is balancing his own personal problems while trying to get to grips with married life to Yasmin. Their relationship in season 4 is "spinning out of control", according to Abela, who also teased: "She is not only a wife, but essentially a caregiver to someone who resents her for needing her care." Yasmin's somewhat love triangle is no more with the departure of Harry Lawtey, who was previously part of the core cast as Robert Spearing. Lawtey exited the series and previously told The Telegraph: "Ultimately I feel like I’m in a place where I’ve said everything I had to say with a character, and I think both me and the writers felt mutually happy with where we left him." But have no fear as there are plenty of new characters set to fill the void, with the likes of Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton, Claire Forlani (Departure) and Kal Penn (Designated Survivor) joining the cast, as well as The Handmaid's Tale star Max Minghella, The Last Showgirl's Kiernan Shipka, and The Serial Killer's Wife's Jack Farthing. How do they slot into this season's drama? Well, read on for everything you need to know about the returning faces and new additions to Industry season 4 below.
