description: Jodie Whittaker fans are revisiting this acclaimed performance.
encoded: The BBC's psychological thriller Trust Me is getting a new lease of life since landing on Netflix, which has introduced the show to a new wave of viewers who may have missed its initial broadcast. Jodie Whittaker led the first season of the anthology, playing a nurse pushed to breaking point who begins imitating a consultant – but how long until her dishonesty is detected? Exploring the blind faith we put in professionals, the problems facing the NHS and how far an individual will go to prove themselves, Trust Me features a stellar supporting cast too. Written by Dan Sefton, a (real) doctor, the show has cherry-picked its stars from The Inbetweeners, The Gold and Downton Abbey, to name just a few. Here's everything you need to know about the Trust Me cast. Jodie Whittaker as Cath Hardacre Who us Cath Hardacre? A compassionate and hard-working nurse who is suspended when she tries to call out neglect in her hospital. At the leaving party of her friend, A&E doctor Alison, she spots a pile of her official documents in the bin and formulates a plan that she hopes will see her finally getting the credit she deserves. Moving to Edinburgh with her young daughter, she starts a new life as a consultant... but how long can she keep up the pretence? A lesson against neglecting and ignoring our most valuable medical professionals, Cath lets her ego and frustration overtake the kindness and common sense that made her good at her job. Writer Sefton calls her a "decent, honourable woman who, when everything is falling apart, takes a huge risk in search of a better life. A life that she will fiercely protect." Where have I seen Jodie Whittaker before? Whittaker is best known these days for playing the Thirteenth Doctor on sci-fi drama Doctor Who. She recently departed the show with feature-length special The Power of the Doctor. Previously, she had collaborated with Who showrunner Chris Chibnall on the crime drama Broadchurch, where she played Beth Latimer. Her other credits includ…

description: Everyone in the small town of Polesford seems like a suspect – but who exactly are the familiar faces stalking its streets?
encoded: Four-part BBC drama sees Bafta-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst adapt Mark Billingham's crime novels In the Dark and Time of Death for the small screen. The result is complex and intriguing, as the line between good and bad becomes increasingly blurred and the viewer is left increasingly unsure of who can be trusted. For no-nonsense police officer Helen, the case takes her alarmingly close to her family and old school-friends – but you might know the characters better from downstairs at Downton, the picket line in Pride and even Mark and Jez's flat in Peep Show. Here's who they are and where you might have seen them before: MyAnna Buring as Detective Helen Weeks Who does she play? Police officer Helen Weeks, who seems authoritative and in control until a trip to her home town brings back unwelcome memories. She is compelled to return when she realises that her best friend from school is the wife of the main suspect in a missing girls case. As if this isn't enough to deal with, she's just discovered that she's pregnant, and coming to terms with this isn't made easier by the fact that secrets from her past are threatening to re-surface. Buring describes her as 'witty, compassionate and determined', and she's going to need this core of steel as she becomes embroiled in the most difficult case of her life. Where have I seen her before? Causing a stir in the kitchens in Downton, where she tried to seduce Lady Sybil's widower Tom Branson. This Swedish-born actress has also had bit parts in Doctor Who and Ripper Street, even reaching Hollywood with her role as leader of the Denali vampire coven in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Ben Batt as Detective Paul Hopkins Who does he play? Helen's partner and fellow cop. He's delighted that Helen's pregnant, but his excitement at becoming a father is marred by her increasingly odd behaviour. Caring and up for a laugh, he's keen to pull in his contacts to help his wife, but she seems to be pushing him away. Batt describes him as …

description: The 14th series of the ancestry continues with a typically emotional journey into the family history of singer Lulu
encoded: It's a journey into the unknown for singer Lulu, as he investigates the past of her mysterious grandparents... What time is it on? Who Do You Think You Are? is on on Thursday at 9pm on BBC1. What does Lulu uncover? Lulu has no high-falutin’ ideas about what she might find in her family tree: “I’m not waiting to find out I’m really a princess. I know!” she says. What she doesn’t know is why her mother Elizabeth – the middle child of seven – was singled out by her parents to be raised by another family, the McDonalds. Her researches into her maternal grandparents – Helen Kennedy and Hugh Cairns - in Glasgow reveal they had a tough life. She died at a scandalously young age while it seems he was a drunk, often out of work but just as often in prison and, like so many young Glaswegian men, a member of a violent gang. But it was the fact that he was a Catholic while she was a Protestant that caused tension between their families: “But they couldn’t keep them apart,” says Lulu of this Romeo and Juliet story, although she concedes that “he made choices that weren’t smart … and she married a wrong ’un”. What can we expect from the new series? The new line-up includes celebrities such as Fearne Cotton, Craig Revel Horwood, Clare Balding, Ruby Wax and Emma Willis. There's also a new narrator, Poldark star Phil Davies. Let's hope this series is as packed with revelations as we've come to expect...

description: This isn't the first time singer and songwriter Seal has judged a talent competition, but will he make the right choices when it comes to choirs?

Every week, regulars Gareth Malone and Kelis are joined by a guest judge. Chaka Khan, Bebe Rexha and Will Young have all stepped up to offer their services, and this week it is the turn of The Voice Australia judge Seal. But who exactly is he? Name: Seal Twitter: @seal Instagram: @seal Best known for: His song 'Kiss from a Rose', which snowballed into a huge hit when it was featured in the Batman Forever soundtrack, and went on to win the Grammy award for Song of the Year in 1996. Bio: Before London-born-and-bred Seal was a multi-platinum selling singer, he studied architecture, completing a two-year diploma in the subject. However, Seal (real name Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel) soon realised that he preferred high notes to high buildings and blues music to blueprints, and set off to tour with funk and blues bands in Japan and Thailand. His talent as a solo vocalist came to the public's attention when he collaborated with acid house producer Adamski on 'Killer', which spent four weeks at number 1 in the UK charts in 1990. His self-titled debut album was released the following year to critical acclaim, and in the 1992 Brit Awards he was the first artist in the history of award to achieve a hat-trick win: he won Best British Male, Best British Video and Best British Album. The album featured his own version of 'Killer', which won an Ivor Novello Award, and he won another the following year for 'Crazy'.

The image on the cover, a monochrome stylistic shot of a leaping Seal, has become an iconic part of the singer's brand, and was re-used for his greatest hits album. View oEmbed on the source …

description: Even Better Than The Real Thing will pit professional tribute artists against each other to find out who could give the real stars a run for their money
encoded: There has been a recent spate of very specific talent shows: looking for the best people to impersonate Take That, the best dogs to be put in charge of planes, and now, the person who is best at pretending to be a famous pop artist for a living. Due to air on BBC1 in the autumn, Even Better Than The Real Thing will see professional tribute artists recreate the performances of their idols, with the audience voting on the best act. In the one hour special, the competitors will also sing 'unique collaborations' together, giving viewers the chance to witness duets they wouldn't have thought possible. Perhaps huge-voiced Londoners Adele and Amy will have a sing-off, or Michael Jackson will moonwalk to Ed Sheehan's 'Shape of You'? At the end of the show the studio audience will decide who, on the night, really was Even Better Than The Real Thing. Among the stars being honoured by talented doppelgängers are George Michael, Ed Sheeran, Amy Winehouse, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson, and Adele. The latter star isn't averse to a musical impersonation herself, whether it is following in the footsteps of her heroes The Spice Girls or rapping Nicki Minaj on Car Pool Karaoke, which in turn was spoofed by one of her tribute acts in a kind of impersonation inception. The show was commissioned by Rachel Ashdown, who claims that it is in some respects a tribute itself – to the tribute artists it features and the art of impersonation. "In the last ten years, tribute artists have exploded in popularity across the UK and around the world," she said. "Their talent and professionalism is breathtaking and now BBC1 is delighted to be sharing and celebrating these show-stopping performances.”

But who are the latest intrepid celebrities queuing round the block to chat to Adam Buxton's Jarhead and Jessica Hynes' Medieval Knight, not to mention taking on the iconic Crystal Dome itself? Find out who will feature on this week's episode. Joel Dommett Age: 31 Famous for: Ostensibly stand-up comedy, though in reality he's better known for taking his shirt off on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Twitter: @joeldommett Instagram: @joeldommett Bio: Joel moved from Gloucestershire to London to pursue a career in stand-up comedy when he was 19. Despite appearing on Skins, Sky 1 panel show Bring the Noise and as a team captain on ITV2's Reality Bites, Dommett only really became a household name when he took part in the jungle reality show. His good-natured humour and bravery when completing the tasks, along with his shirtless shower antics, won him second place in the 2016 series, losing out to last week's Maze contestant Scarlett Moffatt. Jermaine Jenas Age: 34 Famous For: Scoring goals for Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa Twitter: @jjenas8 Instagram: @jjenas Bio: Footballer Jenas began playing professionally for Nottingham Forest at 17, graduating to the Premier League only a year later when he transferred to Newcastle United. He went on to play for Villa, Nottingham Forest and Queen's Park Rangers. Since then, he's had a successful career as a football pundit, appearing on Match of the Day and BT Sport Score. A childhood fan of The Crystal Maze, let's hope that Jenas can make his younger self proud... Adil Ray Age: 43 Famous for: Creating and starring in BBC1 sitcom Citizen Khan Twitter: @adilray Bio: Birmingham-born Ray started out by presenting a late-night show on BBC Asian Network, working his way up to the breakfast slot and winning Best Radio Show at the UK Asian Music Awards in 2008…

encoded: This documentary interviews the real people involved in the events on which recent BBC drama Three Girls was based When is The Betrayed Girls on TV? The documentary will air on Monday 3rd July at 8:30pm on BBC1. What can we expect? The grooming of young white girls by Pakistani men in Rochdale was a tragedy not only because of the horror of the abuse itself, but also due to the shameful failure of the authorities to take the appropriate action. Documentary-maker Henry Singer, whose past work includes Baby P: The Untold Story and The Falling Man, interviews those who were involved, shedding further light on the way professionals ignored the abuse. As well as the victims themselves, sexual health centre manager Sara Rowbotham, DC Maggie Oliver and investigative journalist Andrew Norfolk discuss their involvement in the case. How close are the real events explored in the documentary to those portrayed in Three Girls? Very close indeed – Three Girls writer Nicole Taylor spoke to many of the same people who were interviewed for the documentary. Where else might you have seen whistleblower Sara Rowbotham recently? The social worker who revealed the abuse recently appeared on Channel 4's First Dates, and, though she didn't find her soulmate, Twitter was flooded with praise and well wishes for this previously unsung hero.

To all corners of India, to see both the old and iconic, and the new and surprising – not to mention delving into her own family history.

A trip to see elephants is initially unsuccessful, but nothing can mar Lumley's palpable, infectious joy for the country of her birth... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbuvl6d3DxY Will Lumley ever stop adventuring? It looks unlikely – the 71-year-old star is determined to relish every moment: "You're only here for a short time and then we are going to die, so what you want to do is make sure that you don't waste life." She hopes the programme will inspire viewers... "I want people not to be afraid. There's a kind of nervousness among people who like to have a hot shower every day in the same place...be brave and bold. You will experience something wonderful." Read the full article.

When is George Best: All by Himself on TV? The one-off documentary will air on Sunday 2nd July at 9pm on BBC2. What can we expect? Documentary-maker Daniel Gordon tackles everything (excuse the pun) from Best's role in helping Manchester United win the European Cup in 1968, to his lifelong battle with booze. The film provides an unflinching look at Best's frustration with the club in later years, his US career and his struggles with the tabloid press. Interviews with those closest to him, including his wives, as well as the input of professional pundits such as sports journalist Hugh McIlvanney, help to create a fascinating and wide-ranging portrait of a figure that continues to intrigue, even decades after he last graced our pitches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvU3xW1QjCY Will it be handled sensitively? By providing balance, Gordon makes sure that Best is portrayed realistically, yet takes care not to slip into the salacious tone of the press that plagued him for so much of his life. As a result, the film is fair and measured, without losing its compelling honesty.
