Hamm plays police detective Marvin Flute, who has moved back to his home town to reconnect with his family and continue solving bizarre crimes. This time, there are easy laughs to be had as he finds himself accused of murdering a judge and tries to clear his own name. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n<p>Romario Simpson in Granite Harbour.

But with their prime suspect dead and the special police investigations service scrutinising their conduct, it won\u2019t be easy. Graeme Virtue<\/p>\n<p>Surgery Secrets of the Super Rich<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">8pm, Channel 4<br \/>Do we all live inside the \u201ccircle of shame\u201d now? In this chillingly dystopian testament to beauty standards, Hannah is celebrating her engagement with a \u201cbridal package\u201d of treatments for her big day. These include inserting threads in her cheeks and up her nose for a liquid rhinoplasty. All for a cool \u00a33k. Congratulations! Priya Elan<\/p>\n<p>Corsica: Jewel of the Mediterranean<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">8pm, Channel 5<br \/>Joanna Lumley\u2019s velvety tones narrate this look at the good life in Corsica, an island off the south coast of France. We meet a banker turned baker who makes irresistible biscuits, and a university lecturer who is also a chestnut farmer. Plus, the citadel gets a facelift.

Photograph: BBC\/UKTV\/Joss Barratt<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Damien Molony is an alluringly unstable and impassioned detective in this smart reboot of the 1980s Jersey crime drama. This week, Jim Bergerac alarms his colleagues with a manic whiteboard presentation, fuelled by his obsessive desire to bring down supercilious bigwig Arthur Wakefield (Philip Glenister). Jack Seale<\/p>\n<p>Ann Droid<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">9.30pm, BBC One<br \/>An endlessly laugh-out-loud episode of the comedy about a widow and her robot carer. Sue (Sue Johnston) invites her son and his girlfriend over for wine and crisps, but she\u2019s still not convinced about them: \u201cNot eating prawn cocktail crisps? He\u2019s forgotten who he is.\u201d Meanwhile, unbearable frenemy Phyllis gets bad news. HR<\/p>\n<p>Film<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The Last House (Louis Leterrier, 2026), Netflix<br \/>The population has been confined indoors because of a little-understood external threat, meaning parents must homeschool their children, supplies are rationed and communication with neighbours can happen only at a distance \u2026 sound familiar? The Last House comes on like a Covid lockdown flashback but it\u2019s actually an intriguing sci-fi horror, with a plot reminiscent of 2007 film The Mist. It benefits greatly from the presence of charming leads Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) and Greta Lee (Past Lives), as a couple forced to extremes for their family\u2019s survival.

Photograph: Vertigo<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">If a film-watching experience can be described as \u201cfetid\u201d, then Hoard is that \u2013 but in a good way. Writer and director Luna Carmoon was only 26 when she made her debut feature, announcing herself as a thrillingly distinctive talent in British cinema. Saura Lightfoot Leon stars as Maria, a young, care-experienced woman whose loving but unstable childhood is revealed in the detritus of her chaotic present. Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) plays Maria\u2019s bin-diving, hoarder mother and Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) is her foster brother turned love interest.
