At the police station, Faith encounters Reverend Talbot, a family friend, and represents him on charges of misusing church funds. Tom enlists the help of his friend, Swansea detective DCI Parry, to look into his son's files, while Lisa tracks down a lead at a lap-dancing club Evan was seen frequenting.

5. Orange is the New Black

Friday 27th July on Netflix


As Orange is the New Black returns for its sixth season, very little has been released about what we can expect.


What we do know is that the ladies have been moved to a maximum security prison, where they face danger as they risk the wrath of their fellow inmates.



6. Stewart Lee: Content Provider

Saturday 28th July at 10:45pm on BBC Two


Despite axing his series, BBC Two have brought Stewart Lee back onto the channel (albeit in a ridiculously late slot) with a recording of his latest tour Content Provider.


How do you write a one-size fits all stand-up comedy show to tour around divided Brexit Britain? Stewart Lee found himself having to do exactly that, as he dragged his resilient Content Provider show around the dis-united kingdom for 18 months and 214 dates, in the wake of the referendum.


Captured in leave-voting Southend-On-Sea, Content Provider sees the country’s most consistently critically acclaimed stand-up at the zenith of his powers and the peak of physical collapse, on a stage strewn with obsolete physical media, as he attempts to understand his place in a digital dystopia.

7. Unforgotten

Sunday 29th July at 9pm on ITV


This week in Unforgotten, Cassie and Sunny begin interviewing the four male occupants of The Spinney over the millennium whilst the rest of the team look at the timelines and leads from the original investigation.

James Hollis is the first to be interviewed, alongside his solicitor, who tells the pair that he rented the cottage with his three school friends, Tim Finch, Chris Lowe and Peter Carr. James, Tim and Chris were there with their ex-wives and children, whilst Peter was single. James says he remembers Hayley from the press, but never saw her at the house.

Meanwhile, Chris, Jamila and Asif are looking for flats in Bristol, but Jamila tells Chris that she needs to know about his past to move forward in their relationship which he agrees to do.
