TIP TOE

Sunday 11th to Tuesday 13th June

9pm | Channel 4



Last week, we were only treated to the first two episodes of Russell T Davies' superb new drama Tip Toe, but thankfully, the remaining three episodes will be made available on Channel 4 from Sunday.


In episode three, when Clive meets Diane at work, the chance of a romance leads him to confess secrets that he's kept quiet for years. But when Clive and Leo discover the truth about Calico Road, they're thrown into open warfare. And Marie, Saul, and George have no choice but to join the battle, as the two households conspire against each other. But Clive's fury won't be stopped, and the danger to Leo gets closer.


In episode four, Clive and Leo go face-to-face on a night of terror, while George embarks on an adventure that will have terrible consequences.


And the final episode sees the war between Leo and Clive reach a shocking climax as Clive's house becomes a tinderbox of raw emotion. As George's secrets spread across town, even Saul can't stop the onslaught of anger. And Zee desperately tries to help, but Leo does exactly the wrong thing as violence explodes on Calico Road and everyone's lives are changed forever.

 BRAND NEW DRAMA

BEST MEDICINE

Tuesday 9th June

8pm & 9pm | Sky One



The latest UK series to get a US remake is Doc Martin, which is called Best Medicine, and follows brilliant surgeon Dr Martin Best, played by Josh Charles.


Martin leaves his career as a Boston surgeon to become the general practitioner in the quaint East Coast fishing village of Port Wenn, where he spent his childhood summers.


While he's brilliant at his job, he's really just desperate to be left the hell alone, and his blunt bedside manner quickly alienates the quirky locals, even though he's the only doctor they have.


Also, look out for a special cameo from Martin Clunes later on in the series, playing Martin's father, Robert. And the good news is that if you enjoy the first season, a second has already been confirmed!
