Television viewers are in for a treat this evening as a slate of compelling new and returning shows hits screens across the UK. From the cut-throat world of high finance to historical murder mysteries and budget-friendly feasts, there's something for every taste.
High Finance and Higher Stakes on BBC One
The anxiety-inducing drama Industry makes its highly anticipated return to BBC One at 10.40pm. The series, known for its relentless pace and provocative storylines, promises even more intensity in its new season. Harper Stern, played by Myha'la, is now heading her own fund, while Yasmin, portrayed by Marisa Abela, navigates the political sphere alongside her new husband, the conspicuously absent Sir Henry Muck, played by Kit Harington.
The existing drama is bolstered by an impressive roster of new cast members, including Max Minghella, Kiernan Shipka, and Charlie Heaton. Their arrival is set to further complicate the already treacherous waters of Pierpoint & Co.
Factual Fare and Culinary Creativity
Earlier in the evening, Channel 4 offers culinary inspiration at 8pm with Jamie's Feasts for a Fiver. Jamie Oliver proves that a tight budget doesn't mean boring food, as he creates elaborate dishes designed for entertaining without breaking the bank. The first episode features an inventive brunch with French toast crumpets and smashed minty peas as a clever alternative to avocado.
For history enthusiasts, BBC Two presents Lucy Worsley's Victorian Murder Club at 9pm. The historian continues her gripping investigation into the 'Thames torso murders', examining the case of a fourth victim whose body was discovered in the territory of the infamous Jack the Ripper. Her research points to a potential perpetrator and a chilling motive.
More Highlights From Tonight's Schedule
The detective drama Lynley returns to BBC One at 8.30pm, once again playing on the class dynamic between posh Tommy and down-to-earth Barbara. A seemingly simple missing persons case quickly spirals into a sinister story involving dark secrets and dating apps.
