 MISSED CALL

Monday, 5

When British teenager Katie Gleason vanishes during a school exchange in southern France, her mother Sarah rushes to Saint-Michel seeking answers. Met with evasive police and hostility from Katie’s powerful host family, the Morvans, Sarah launches her own investigation alongside local detective Lieutenant Virginie Taylor, exposing buried secrets, abuse, corruption, and trafficking within the tight-knit town.

As bodies surface and suspicions reach influential figures - including Virginie’s father - alliances fracture. Betrayed and unraveling, Sarah learns that Katie may still be alive. Time is running out for them both and justice.

 EUPHORIA

Created, written, directed, and executive produced by Emmy nominee and DGA Award winner Sam Levinson, starring Emmy winner Zendaya, and produced in partnership with A24, the eight-episode third season of the critically acclaimed pop culture juggernaut Euphoria arrives this April. A group of childhood friends wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.

 BIRDING WITH SAM AND ADE

Tuesday, 5

Samuel West’s been a keen bird watcher for over 20 years and has travelled the UK and the world to follow his passion. However, for his next few trips, he’s invited along his mate Adrian Edmondson - a complete birding novice - to introduce him to some of our most beautiful birds and habitats.

In remote West Cornwall they search for the chough, and hope for exotic wind-blown foreign visitors. They go on a ‘wild goose chase’ in north Norfolk and on the Somerset Levels they set out on a quest to find the elusive ‘booming’ bittern.

 GRAYSON PERRY HAS SEEN THE FUTURE

Wednesday, Channel 4

Artist Grayson Perry heads for California on a mission to understand how Silicon Valley's booming tech industries are likely to shape the human future. His two-part journey begins in the Bay Area where he is assisted by an increasingly chummy chatbot.

He meets everyone from leading players in the industry to idealistic young start-up founders, as well as ordinary people who are adopting the latest innovations and alarmed critics of the direction AI is taking the world.

 BERGERAC

Thursday, U&Drama

Bergerac is back, and, with Kim’s encouragement, has begun dating again, though he still feels Rachel’s absence and isn’t expecting much. That changes when he meets Nicola, a visitor to the island, and they instantly connect. Meanwhile, Charlie Hungerford has found romance with the lively Nigel. But just as things look promising, Bergerac is drawn into a new case: the groom at a wedding reception is found murdered in his hotel room. Someone at the wedding is a killer, and uncovering the truth leads Bergerac into a web of police corruption, buried family secrets, and major twists.

BIG MOOD

Thursday, Channel 4

It’s been nearly a year after the chaotic events of Series 1, and Eddie and Maggie haven’t spoken in all that time. As they re-enter each other’s lives, the series asks the question: can a friendship truly recover after a major falling out? 

Maggie is a year into her recovery from lithium poisoning, and doing very sensible, un-Maggie-like activities to keep herself “stable” – something she’s desperate to be perceived as. But that hard-won stability is about to be seriously tested by Eddie re-entering her life.
