Mark Ruffalo Stars in Gripping BBC Thriller The Last Close Call

Mark Ruffalo leads the cast of a new crime drama from the creator of Mare of Easttown, airing tonight on Sky Atlantic at 9pm. The series, set in the Philadelphia suburbs, follows Robbie (Tom Pelphrey), a binman by day who copes with his brother's death while caring for his kids and niece. By night, he and his friend Cliff (Raúl Castillo) don Halloween costumes to burgle members of a drug-dealing biker gang.

Ruffalo plays Tom, an FBI agent dealing with his own family bereavement, assigned to the case with an inexperienced taskforce as a turf war escalates. The show is described as deeply layered and fantastically written, perfect for autumn evenings.

Other highlights include Stacey Dooley meeting the so-called 'Benefits Queen' on U&W at 9pm, and the conclusion of a documentary about the Piper Alpha oil disaster on BBC Two at 9pm.
