description: Angel Coulby and Daniel Ryan will also star in the four-part series about a convicted murderer maintaining his innocence
encoded: Lee Ingleby and Hermione Norris are to star in new ITV drama Innocent. The four-part series, written by Chris Lang (Unforgotten) and Matt Arlidge (Silent Witness), revolves around the life of David Coller (Ingleby), an ordinary family man sent to jail for seven years after allegedly killing his wife, Tara. David has always maintained he had nothing to do with his spouse’s murder, and the only person who seems to believe him is his brother Phil (Daniel Ryan). While Phil has endlessly campaigned for his innocence, David is still detested by Tara’s family, particularly her childless sister Alice (Hermione Norris). She, together with her husband Rob (Adrian Rowlins), became guardians to David’s kids and the pair now enjoy a far more comfortable lifestyle than they did when Tara was alive, raising their young family with David’s estate money. View oEmbed on the source website As David and Phil campaign for his release, Chief Inspector William Bleech (Nigel Lindsay) has a lot to lose should the conviction be overturned. If David is acquitted, Detective Cathy Hudson (Angel Coulby) is in line to replace the chief inspector – but no one knows she and Bleech are in a secret relationship. When David is released on a technicality, a cloud of suspicion still hangs over his head. How is he going to rebuild the life he has lost? Who should he trust? How will he manage his complex web of relationships? And the question stands: is he truly innocent? View oEmbed on the source website The series will be produced by TXTV and directed by Richard Clark (Doctor Who, The Musketeers), with filming set to begin in this month.

description: The men's marathon, basketball final, plus Joe Joyce guaranteed at least one more medal for Team GB in the super heavyweight boxing — all in the final day of Rio 2016
encoded: The last day of the Rio 2016 Olympics, and Team GB are guaranteed at least one more medal to add to their tally of 66. British boxer Joe Joyce is fighting in the men's super-heavyweight final, rounding off a successful Games in the ring for Team GB. Elsewhere, there's the men's basketball final, the rhythmic gymnastics and the men's marathon, featuring inspirational British runner Tsegai Tewelde. Oh, and of course the Closing Ceremony also rounds everything off tonight. See the bottom of the page for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today, plus our Star To Watch, Tsegai Tewelde, an Eritrean runner representing Britain. And take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Athletics: Men’s Marathon 1:30pm BBC1 The marathon is always a fitting end to a Games, giving broadcasters a last chance to swoop through the host city’s beauty spots. Beginning and ending in the Sambadrome, venue for the Rio carnival, the course winds through the city centre before stretching out along Rio’s coastline. Computer chips in athletes’ trainers track times and locations for every athlete in the field. Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge missed the world record by just eight seconds in London earlier this year, and having won bronze at the 2004 Olympics and silver in 2008, he is out to complete the set. Team GB’s line-up comprises Tsegai Tewelde and the Hawkins brothers — Derek, 27, and Callum, 24, the latter the top-placed Briton at this year’s London Marathon, finishing eighth. James Gill Gymnastics: Rhythmic All-around Final 3pm Red Button The ribbon is one of four items of equipment that rhythmic gymnasts can choose from in Rio.The others are a hoop, a ball, and clubs. Routines are performed on the floor to music, and judges mark gymnasts on difficulty and execution. It’s one of two events in the Olympics that remains an exclusively female competition. The other is synchronised swimming. Craig Heap Full Rio 2016 Olympics schedule Boxing: Women’s and Men’s Finals 6pm, 7:15pm BBC1 Jos…

description: Mo Farah running in the men's 5,000m, Tom Daley competing in the men's 10m platform diving final, boxer Nicola Adams looking to defend her Olympic title — the penultimate day of competition is a busy one for Team GB
encoded: Mo Farah is in line to double up at Rio 2016 as he runs in the men's 5,000m tonight, one of the last track and field events of the Games. Tom Daley is hoping to win the men's 10m platform final, while Team GB's women are also in with a strong shot at the medals, with Helen Jenkins racing in the triathlon and reigning boxing champion Nicola Adams looking to defend her title. See the bottom of the page for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today. And take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Athletics: Women’s Triathlon 3pm BBC1 The sheer variety of disciplines is what makes the triathlon so tough. It’s relentless. Rio will be brilliant — it’s got a really rough sea swim and the bike course is hard and technical. I’d be really surprised if we didn’t come home with a couple of medals — but it’s unpredictable. Gwen Jorgensen of the USA has dominated recently — if she’s in the race, it’ll be hard to look beyond second and third place for the other girls. But GB’s Helen Jenkins is in phenomenal shape, Non Stanford is very talented and Vicky Holland is great, too. Annie Emmerson Modern Pentathlon 4pm Red Button+/online Modern pentathlon’s mentally and physically challenging events comprise swimming, fencing, horse riding, with a finale of running and shooting. The leader from the first three rounds starts first, with the rest released on a staggered start. The riding event is perhaps the trickiest. Competitors are randomly assigned horses, and rider and steed have just 20 minutes to bond before facing the showjumping course. And after all that, you must calm yourself down mid-run for shooting. The men’s event is today, following on from the women’s yesterday. Stephanie Cook Boxing: Women’s Flyweight Final 6pm BBC1 Olympic champion Nicola Adams is in great form and I strongly fancy her to retain her Olympic title, something only one British boxer has ever done — middleweight Harry Mallin, way back in 1920 and 1924. Adams recently became world champion, …

description: The Brownlee brothers race for the win in the Olympic triathlon, while 2012 winner Jade Jones competes in taekwondo — plus women's diving, shot put, and athletics
encoded: London 2012 Olympic double act Jonny and Alistair Brownlee are back in action today in the Ro 2016 triathlon. They aren't the only Brits hoping to defend their Olympic titles: gold medalist Jade Jones is set to compete in the women's -57kg taekwondo, well while diver Tonia Couch is hoping to score her first Olympic medal at the women's 10m platform. Finally, Usain Bolt is aiming for Rio gold number two in the men's 200m final. Check below for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today, and take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Men’s triathlon 3pm BBC1 Jonny and Alistair Brownlee are as tough as they come — and they’re the big favourites in the triathlon, especially now that their Spanish rival Javier Gómez has had to pull out. Whatever their position in the race, they give 100 per cent every time. Alistair absolutely smashes himself, and Jonny’s not far behind him — they always make races more interesting because they’re very tactically smart, and people really respect them. They’ve been criticised because they train so hard, especially Alistair, because he’s quite nuts and perhaps overtrains and jeopardises races with various injuries, but I believe that if you want to be the greatest in the world, you have to take risks. Those risks certainly pay off for him. Annie Emmerson Athletics: Men’s 400m Hurdles Final 4pm BBC4 There are so many stories of Olympic triumph against the odds that it’s easy to forget the agonising disappointments. The USA’s 400m hurdler Johnny Dutch had the fastest time in the world in 2016. He should have strolled to Rio, but on the final hurdle of the final race of the final US trial, he clipped the barrier and went tumbling. Afterwards, Dutch made clear his feelings: “I don’t have a contract. I have no job. I don’t know if I can do this any more.” His departure leaves Kerron Clement of the USA as the fastest man this year. But with ten hurdles to overcome over a circuit of the track, success and failure are just a strid…

description: World sailing champion Giles Scott is ready to assume the mantle of Ben Ainslie, and cyclist Laura Trott rides the road to another Olympic win for Britain — plus athletics, women's gymnastics, and more
encoded: Four-time sailing world champion Giles Scott represents Team GB for today's men's finn medal race but it'll act as his victory lap as he's already built an unassailable lead to secure gold. Meanwhile, super-cyclist Laura Trott is also predicted to come out on top as she enters the second day of the women's omnium after leading the standings overnight. Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin are expected to sail through the men's 200m heats, with GB's Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, Danny Talbot and Adam Gemili hoping to challenge for a spot in the next round. There's also men's 110m hurdles, high jump, canoe sprint, and more athletics. See the bottom of the page for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today, plus our One To Watch, runner and trainee vet Laura Muir. And take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Cycling: Women’s Omnium 2:57pm BBC4 I said it in London and I’ll say it again: pound for pound, Laura Trott is the most valuable person on the British Olympic team. What she delivers for her size is remarkable. Like Victoria Pendleton before her, Trott isn’t the biggest rider, but her power-to-weight ratio allows her to outrace the bigger girls. Her main rival in the omnium, American Sarah Hammer, is much stronger- looking, and they’ve had some great tussles recently – although Trott leads the standings coming into today's events, with Hammer in third. Off the bike, Trott is a delight; on the track, she’s a demon. She’s the defending Olympic champion and will have gold in her sights again. Jill Douglas Athletics: Men’s 200m Heats From 3:50pm BBC1 The men’s 200m offers a potential opportunity for Britain’s sprint prospects. If Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin perform they’ll be the top two, but the bronze is up for grabs. Adam Gemili, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake and Danny Talbot are our 200m sprinters. Nethaneel went to university in the US. It’s such a big step for a young man to move out of his comfort zone, but it’s worked for him; he’s been in fantastic form. My…

description: Men's 100m final, singles tennis, and more incumbent champs playing today — plus cycling, wrestling, and gymnastics
encoded: All eyes are on the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, as he goes for another gold medal at the men's 100m final, undeterred by a recent hamstring injury. Today might also be Team GB's first olympic gold in gymnastics with Max Whitlock and Louis Smith ready to claim the prize. Andy Murray is likewise anticipated to dominate the men's singles event, and top rider Jason Kenny is looking to be a multi-cycling gold medallist. Other events today are wrestling, boxing, athletics, sailing, and fencing among others. See the bottom of the page for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today, plus our Must Watch, the women's marathon. And take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Tennis: Men's Singles 4pm BBC4 London 2012 was the event that sparked a golden year for Andy Murray: Olympic gold, US Open title, his first Wimbledon title. The Olympics have always meant a huge amount to him. He loved going to Beijing in 2008, but, by his own admission, took his eye off the ball in terms of preparation and lost in the first round. In London, he was ruthless. He didn’t stay in the Athletes’ Village; he won’t again in 2016. It might be less fun, but the fun for Andy comes in competing for his country. Russell Fuller Gymnastics: Men’s Pommel Horse 7:30pm BBC1 We could see British gymnastics’ first ever Olympic gold today. Max Whitlock and Louis Smith are in a straight shootout for the pommel horse title. One factor is that, come the final, Louis might have done only four different routines. But Max, who is in the team events, could have done more than 20. If I was Max, I’d be thinking Louis had it easy. Craig Heap Cycling: Men’s Sprint 9:04pm BBC1 Tonight’s individual sprint finals will be a huge challenge for Britain’s Jason Kenny — but the way the Olympic champion handles pressure is unbelievable. Think back four years: Chris Hoy was the defending Olympic champion, looking to replicate his Beijing performance and win three gold medals. But the British team said no…

description: Jessica Ennis-Hill begins the campaign to retain her heptathlon title, while Bradley Wiggins could become the most decorated British Olympian of all time
encoded: London 2012 heptathlon hero Jessica Ennis-Hill begins the campaign to retain her Olympic title, with teammate Katarina Johnson-Thompson one of her main rivals. Rowers Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are in a good position to do the same in the pairs final, while Andy continues his medal bid in both the men's singles and the mixed doubles. Meanwhile, Bradley Wiggins attempts to become the most decorated British Olympian of all time in the cycling Team Pursuit and Jo Pavey competes in the 10,000 metres at the age of 42. Plus badminton, equestrian and Amber Hill in the shooting. See the bottom of the page for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today. And take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Badminton 12 noon Red Button+/online China are the team to watch, having won more than half of all the Olympic badminton medals that have ever been contested, including women’s doubles gold at London 2012. Only nine other countries have even reached the podium, but could Brazil get a look-in this year? Having never previously qualified, as hosts they get to compete for the first time. Kasia Delgado Athletics: Heptathlon 1:35pm BBC1 The heptathlon takes place on the first two days of the track and field events. For Britain, it’s all about champion Jessica Ennis-Hill and rival Katarina Johnson-Thompson — a big battle between them would grip the Olympic Stadium. KJT is under pressure to succeed Jess, but she’s not the poster girl like her rival was at London 2012. Everyone in athletics knows Kat can deliver, but for the nation as a whole she’ll still be seen as the surprise package. The person on the street doesn’t expect KJT to be atop the podium. Gabby Logan Rowing: Women’s Pair Finals 2:24pm BBC1 Reigning Olympic champions Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are so dominant that if anyone asks me how much to bet on the two Brits repeating their triumph from 2012, I’d just say, “How much do you want to win?” After London, Heather resumed her army career in Af…

description: Rowing semi-finals today with Helen Glover and Heather Stanning expected to inch closer to gold — plus Max Whitlock in the gymnastics and weightlifting 17-year-old Rebekah Tiler
encoded: Rowing, rugby sevens and the men and women's cycling time trials dominate the Rio 2016 action this Wednesday 10th August. British rowers – and hot favourites – Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are aiming to make the women's pair finals, while the men get ready for the individual gymnastics competitions. Read the highlights and golds up for grabs today below, and check out the full sport-by-sport Day 5 schedule here. Rowing: Women’s Pair Semi-Finals 12:30pm BBC2 Expert's choice: James Cracknell In the pairs, each rower pulls one oar, one on either side of the boat. The oars are also slightly larger than those used in sculling. Get the champagne ready for this one because, barring injury or food poisoning, Britain’s Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are nailed on to strike gold. It was in this event that they won Team GB’s first gold medal of the 2012 Games, which was also Britain’s first-ever Olympic gold in women’s rowing. The semi-finals take place today, with the final scheduled for Friday. Swimming: Women’s 200m Breaststroke heats 5:47pm BBC1 View oEmbed on the source website The USA may come to Rio with the strongest team in the pool, but one star from 2012 won’t be making a return. Rebecca Soni, who broke the 200m breaststroke world record on her way to winning gold, has since retired, leaving the door open for a new generation. The semi-finals today might just include Chloe Tutton, a 19-year-old from the Rhondda, who broke the British record in April and improved her personal best by a massive three seconds. James Gill Rowing: Men’s Coxless Four Semi-finals 1:30pm BBC2 Expert's choice: James Cracknell We’ve won gold at every Olympics since 2000 in this event and I’m confident the British boys will bring it home again. They’re fitter, stronger and faster than the crew I was a member of when we won it in 2004, so they just need to ensure they produce the goods on the day. Watch out for British rower Moe Sbihi. A Muslim educated at a comprehensive school, he’s n…

encoded: GB's women gymnasts, featuring the Downie sisters Rebecca and Ellie, are strong contenders for the team finals today. Olympic veteran William Fox-Pitt is approaching this year's showjumping competition at a gallop despite a major head injury in October, but suffered a bad day at the office yesterday and now faces a battle to regain a spot among the main contenders. Another Brit to watch out for is canoeist David Florence in the slalom men's C1 final. And in the men's 200m butterfly final, a battle of the continents is expected — with Michael Phelps for America, Chad Le Clos for Africa, and Laszlo Cseh for Europe. There's also women's football, rowing, shooting, and weightlifting. See the bottom of the page for a guide to every single gold up for grabs today, plus our Ones To Watch, NBA players Raulzinho and Nenê. And take a look at the rest of our Olympics coverage here. Rowing: Men’s Pair Semi-finals 1:50pm BBC1 Expert’s choice: James Cracknell If you want an example of how to row the perfect race, keep an eye on New Zealand’s Eric Murray and Hamish Bond. Matthew Pinsent and I held the world record for a decade, and these guys broke it in 2012 by a mammoth six seconds. The reason they’re so quick is because they’re not only super strong, they are also very light. Their weights add up to 182kg; the combined weight of me and Matthew was a little over 200kg. These guys have taken the sport to a whole new level. Britain – represented by Stewart Innes and Alan Sinclair – have got every chance of a silver medal in this. Up against the mighty New Zealanders, that would be no disgrace. Equestrian: Three-day Eventing (Showjumping Final) 2pm BBC1 How much do you think you would sacrifice to be an Olympian? We could all see ourselves recovering from a torn muscle here, a broken bone there, but a serious head injury? That takes an Olympic level of commitment. GB rider and four-time Olympian William Fox-Pitt was placed in an induced coma in October after falling from his horse.…

description: The Office character takes inspiration from his day job for his latest piece of music
encoded: Ricky Gervais has dropped a music video for his David Brent mockumentary Life on the Road ahead of the release of his character's silver screen debut later this month. The two-minute-long track features his Office alter ego, all suited and booted, as he travels across the country showing off his skills as a toiletry salesman. It begins with Brent slouched in a black leather chair, pitching his main single to a music exec, matter-of-factly emphasising that his song would be about his day job – working as a rep selling cleaning products. Wandering from Ipswich to Gloucester, he bops his head to his own tunes. The song is not just about cleaning products, of course, but also the general public’s toiletry needs – tampon dispensers and urinal lozenges, included. While the film itself mainly follows Brent’s attempts at rock stardom, trading his pin-striped blazers for leather bomber jackets, this newest clip reverts to his sales man core. With his band Foregone Conclusion blasting guitar riffs to an unimpressed audience, Brent again (desperately) tries to prove how the soundtrack of his life could be more than the squeaking sound of a desk chair or the overly familiar melody of a photocopying machine.

description: Star Wars, Suicide Squad, Finding Dory and Deadpool also picked up coveted surfboards during last night's ceremony
encoded: The youth has spoken. Surfboard trophies filled with palm tree graphics were dished out in Hollywood last night as the winners of this year’s Teen Choice Awards were announced. The Hunger Games topped the night's film awards with three prizes, including Scene Stealer (Jena Malone), Movie Liplock (Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence) and Sci-Fi/Fantasy Actress for Lawrence, who also picked up Choice Movie Actress for drama Joy. Star Wars: The Force Awakens proved that their hardcore fans could still carry them through with Adam Driver as Star Wars' Kylo Ren picking up the Best Movie Villain award, showing that his acting chops aren't limited to being Lena Dunham’s boyfriend in HBO’s Girls. The film franchise’s protagonist, Daisy Ridley, also scored a surfboard, picking up the Breakout Star award. First time Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio won Best Actor for The Revenant, while Ryan Reynolds vehicle Deadpool had a great night, earning Best Adventure Movie and Best Hissy Fit. Finding Dory also gathered surfboards for Best Summer Movie, with TV host Ellen DeGeneres named Summer Movie Actress for her role as the eponymous fish. The fantasy film Suicide Squad amassed the Most AnTEENcipated movie award, together with one of the film’s newcomers, Cara Delevingne as Most AnTEENcipated actress. Leading the surfboard trophy count for TV was Pretty Little Liars, bagging a grand total of six awards. Once Upon A Time came second, picking up the Best Sci-Fi TV show and Best Liplock awards, and the spotlight turned to the pack of Kardashians yet again for Best Reality TV, weeks after Kim and Kanye dominated the headlines for their Taylor Swift spat. Speaking of Swift, her ex-beau Harry Styles won Male Hottie alongside Kendall Jenner, who was awarded Female Hottie. And six months on from their split, One Direction are still scoring silverware (sorry, surfboards), this time winning Choice Music Group, while ex-bandmate Zayn Malik picked up the Choice Music Breakout Artist, proving t…
