It's been two years since the first season of Big Little Lies and as the highly anticipated series returns, life has returned to some semblance of normalcy in the picturesque seaside town of Monterey following the devastating the season finale.
Mothers dote, husbands support, children are adorable, houses are beautiful. But the night of the school fundraiser changed the town, leaving the community reeling as the “Monterey Five” bond together to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.

Monday 10th June at 10pm on Channel 4
With news that Toast of London is to return at some point in the future for a fourth series and a starring role in What We Do In The Shadows, which is also returning for another series, Matt Berry really is man of the moment.
In Year of the Rabbit, Matt plays Detective Inspector Rabbit, a hardened booze-hound who’s seen it all. He stars alongside Susan Wokoma who plays Mabel, the ambitious daughter of the chief of police and Freddie Fox as Rabbit's new (hapless) partner Strauss.
While investigating a murder, Mabel becomes London's first female officer and together the trio must fight crime while rubbing shoulders with street gangs, crooked politicians and Bulgarian princes.

Following last week's superb episode, this week's penultimate episode of Years and Years has a lot to live up to but with Viv Rook as Prime Minister the drama is far from over.

4. Wild Bill
Wednesday 12th June at 9pm on ITV
No, your eyes don't deceive you. That IS Rob Lowe playing the lead in an ITV drama. Rob plays high-flying US police chief Bill Hixon, who is appointed Chief Constable in Boston, Lincolnshire.
Landing in the UK with his teenage daughter Kelsey in tow, Bill is ready to tackle the county’s crime figures, armed with a range of statistics and algorithms with every intention of getting in and out as quickly as possible.
However, Bill soon discovers the people of Boston are just as smart-mouthed, cynical and difficult to impress as he is, and the man who’s spent his life keeping the messiness of human intimacy at arm’s length is reluctantly propelled into frontline policing and forced to reconsider his relationship with those closest to him.

5. The Voice Kids
Saturday 15th June at 8pm on ITV
This year's series opener of The Voice Kids was by far the best one yet as original The Voice UK coach Jessie J joined Will.i.am, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones in those big red chairs for the third series.
Often putting the talent in the adult version to shame, the talent on offer was exceptionally high and Jessie J slotted in to the show seamlessly. If you're looking for feel good television that will sometimes leave you in tears, then The Voice Kids is it.
This week as the blind auditions continue, the coaches hear from both solo singers and double acts (between the ages of seven and 14), who have a chance winning a £30,000 bursary towards their musical education and a family holiday to Universal Orlando Resort.

6. Killing Eve
Saturday 15th June at 9:15pm on BBC One
If the opening episode left you wondering when Killing Eve would get really good again, the answer is this week as episode two is a return to form for the BAFTA winning series.
This week's episode sees Julian Barratt guest star as an unassuming man who lets Villanelle recuperate at his house in Basildon having escaped from hospital.
Meanwhile Eve, having been taken back under Carolyn’s wing, meets her new team and has to tell them everything she’s learned about Villanelle. Missing out the all-important part about having just stabbed her, of course.
If you can't wait until Saturday, all episodes are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
