This third standalone story in The Terror anthology series is set in an understaffed, underfunded and quite possibly cursed psychiatric hospital. Dan Stevens stars as Peter \u201cPepper\u201d Coffin, who has been wrongfully committed to the institution and is forced to reckon with its tatty malevolence. We meet the patients in their past and present lives and connect them via the sinister Dr Walter (John Benjamin Hickey) who may just be the key to the whole mystery. It doesn\u2019t lack jump-scares but also generates a subtler, more genuinely unsettling ambient hum of horror.

It\u2019s presented by actor Liev Schreiber, for reasons unknown, and features first-hand footage taken across the world, along with eyewitness accounts. Hollie Richardson <\/p>\n<p>Force of Nature<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">7pm, ITV1<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Extreme heat is tackled in this instalment of the series dramatising how the climate crisis affects animals, from increased drought to the rise of wildfires around the globe. That means a wombat in Australia, a leopard in Zambia and a kangaroo rat in Arizona all abruptly find themselves starring in their own mini disaster movies.

Also, pieces by Elgar, Britten and, making its Proms debut, Thea Musgrave\u2019s Out of the Darkness concerto for bassoon.

Will he need her help again in the final? He plays on stage along with Grace, who lost all her fingers after meningitis, Harri, with his song inspired by his grandad, wildcard teen Sophie and \u201cpiano-breaker\u201d Gabby.

And as a dollar bill changes hands in a struggling rust belt town divided by culture and class, secrets emerge, aided by John Carroll Lynch, Leslie Odom Jr, Nathaniel Martello-White and more.

Photograph: Roadside Attractions\/Everett\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Getting up close and personal with animals can be a life-affirming way of feeling at one with nature. It can also be a way of avoiding the messier everyday of being human. For Helen Macdonald (a febrile Claire Foy), in Philippa Lowthorpe\u2019s adaptation of Macdonald\u2019s bestselling memoir, it is the tug between the two that brings her world crashing down. After her beloved father (Brendan Gleeson) dies, Helen decides to train a goshawk (\u201ca perfectly evolved psychopath,\u201d her mentor warns) in memory of their shared love of the great outdoors. But confronting avian life red in tooth and claw isn\u2019t the same as dealing with the complex emotions of grief. An arresting, affecting drama.
