This Is Not a Murder Mystery<\/p>\n
8pm, U&Drama
A period crime drama set in West Sussex, 1936: a stately home is playing host to the hottest artists of the day, including Salvador Dal\u00ed, Man Ray and Ren\u00e9 Magritte. After a party fuelled by cocaine, opium and professional jealousy, a body is found, staged like Magritte\u2019s The Lovers \u2013 prompting the arrival of Stephen Tompkinson as acerbic DCI John Thistlethwaite. The clever visual references and arch dialogue make it hard not to love. Jack Seale<\/p>\n

The Crown\u2019s Jason Watkins and historian Tracy Borman present this one-off about the tawdry accusations that led to the demise of Henry VIII\u2019s second spouse. From Boleyn\u2019s childhood home, Hever Castle, to the National Archives, the pair dig deep in a watertight documentary that\u2019s no vanity project for Tudor buff Watkins. Hannah J Davies<\/p>\n
The \u2019Burbs<\/p>\n

The plot continues to clot in this kooky comedy, where nosy neighbours have united to unmask a prickly incomer as a bad \u2019un.
