Deadloch
Season two of this Australian series reached our screens this week. Set in the sweltering Northern Territory, this focuses on Detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) who are investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner Bushy.

Leonard and Hungry Paul
If you missed this on Channel 4, now’s your chance to catch this lovely series. It’s an adaptation of Irish author Rónán Hession’s debut novel, which is about two board-gaming friends in their thirties: Leonard, a ghost writer of children’s encyclopedias, and Hungry Paul, a part-time postal worker. They live a life of quiet routines, but some new changes start to open up their worlds.

Celebrity Sabotage
Remember the days when hidden camera shows were the height of reality TV? This series has an interesting premise – unsuspecting members of the public believe they are taking part in a new ITV entertainment reality game.

In this first episode, business expert Sara Davies hosts fake business competition The Applicant. The saboteurs are Joel Dommett, Judi Love, Sam Thompson and GK Barry.
