They\u2019re all back for this third and final outing, which picks up the story five years after high school, with the characters in their early 20s. Previews are very much under lock and key, but what we do know is that Cassie and Nate are married (with Maddie helping Cassie create adult content), Jules is in art school and is a \u201csugar baby\u201d, and Rue is caught up in some very bad-looking business in Mexico. Love him or loathe him, Levinson always takes fans on a wild ride \u2013 so buckle up! Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>Miriam Margolyes Made Me Me<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Simon Draper \u2013 a \u201cjobbing TV director who got slated\u201d \u2013 filmed Miriam Margolyes as she started a podcast where she talks to friends. However, as the actor was distracted by world tours and health issues, the recordings turned into something more intimate and meditative: \u201cI don\u2019t want to be just a foul-mouthed farty old lady \u2013 because I\u2019m more than that.\u201d But don\u2019t worry, there are still plenty of laugh-out-loud Margolyes antics. HR<\/p>\n<p>Great Japanese Railway Journeys<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">6.30pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">A new purple-trousered travelogue from TV\u2019s Tourist Tory. Michael Portillo is in Japan for brisk journeys on bullet trains and the odd stop-off in between. The first line (\u201cJapan is a country of enigmatic contrasts\u201d) would make AI wince but things improve as Portillo chomps on some fried octopus balls and explores manga. Phil Harrison<\/p>\n<p>Missed Call<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">9pm, Channel 5<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In this new whodunnit, Joanna Scanlan plays Sarah, an anxious mum whose teenage daughter goes off on a French exchange. But the pre-credit sequence suggests things don\u2019t go tr\u00e8s bien. A cast of shady supporting characters, including Rupert Graves as Scanlan\u2019s partner and her aloof exchange family, give us suspects galore. Priya Elan<\/p>\n<p>Charmain and the Prophet<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">10pm, BBC Two<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The opening slice of this disturbing three-part true story takes in class, race and Scotland\u2019s relationship with religion. Charmain Speirs, a vulnerable single mum, meets a charismatic evangelical preacher on a Christian dating site but things soon turn sour. As Charmain\u2019s mum Lydia says, it was \u201cjust lies after lies after lies\u201d. PE<\/p>\n<p>DTF St Louis<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">10.15pm, Sky Atlantic<\/p>\n<p>Linda Cardellini as Carol and Arlan Ruf as Richard in DTF St Louis. Photograph: T Rowden\/Sky<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Finale time for the raunchy murder mystery featuring David Harbour, Linda Cardellini and Jason Bateman in a deadly love triangle. Testament to the show\u2019s sense of comic mischief is that one of the big unanswered questions is how a curving penis condition got Harbour\u2019s sadsack Floyd into American Sign Language.
