This week's television highlights include a documentary on Oasis's 2025 reunion tour, which captures the thawing of relations between Liam and Noel Gallagher after 15 years of silence. The film, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace with writer Steven Knight, documents the tour from tense rehearsals to US acclaim. Liam, with his “big boy pants” on, is cocky and sharply witty, while a nervous Noel seems surprised at how well it’s all going. The hatchet-burying takes a while, but there’s always a singalong hit to catch while you wait. It airs Friday 9 October on Disney+.
Action and Comedy on BBC
Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s relentlessly bloody, often exhilarating Indian film 'Kill' features top commando Amrit (Lakshya) boarding a New Delhi service to be with his secret lover, who is engaged to another. This coincides with a heist by a family of bandits, led by the psychotic Fani (Raghav Juyal). It’s the one against the many, but no prizes for guessing the result. Airs Saturday 3 October, 10.50pm, on BBC Four.
Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut 'The Deb' is a sweet, simple musical comedy set up as a city v country clash. Rebellious Sydney teenager Maeve (Charlotte MacInnes) is banished to the bush to stay with farming cousin Taylah (Natalie Abbott) in “the town where feminism has come to die” – and where the debutante ball is still a thing. Issues of body positivity and stifled ambition are showcased in songs with a certain Aussie pep (the first one is titled Fuck My Life). Airs Sunday 4 October, 6.15am, 5.45pm, on Sky Cinema Premiere.
Crime Thrillers and Dramas
Justin Kurzel’s gripping fact-based crime thriller 'The Order' stars Jude Law as FBI agent Terry Husk, whose new posting to rural Idaho comes with an Aryan Nation splinter group, led by Nicholas Hoult’s charismatic Robert Jay Mathews, who are progressing from counterfeiting and bank robbery to something much bigger. Law’s Husk is a convincingly raddled near has-been but he’s a dog with a bone when he gets a sniff of Mathews’s racist plot. Airs Sunday 4 October, 10pm, on BBC Two.
François Ozon’s comic melodrama 'The Crime Is Mine' is set in 1935 Paris, where struggling actor Madeleine (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) is falsely accused of killing a famous theatre producer. Aided by her flatmate, lawyer Pauline (Rebecca Marder), she plans to confess to “legitimate defence”, hoping the publicity will be good for both their careers. That is, until Isabelle Huppert’s wrecking ball of a silent film star pops up. Airs Sunday 4 October, 12.50am, on BBC Two.
Drama and Horror Highlights
Payal Kapadia’s exceptional Cannes-winning drama 'All We Imagine As Light' explores life in Mumbai through the eyes of three women. Senior nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) is married, but her husband is absent working in Germany. Her young colleague and flatmate Anu (Divya Prabha) is a Hindu secretly in love with a Muslim boy. And hospital cook Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam) is facing the demolition of her home by developers. As their intimate, involving stories unfold, Kapadia reveals a bustling, rain-soaked, ever-changing city – a place that draws migrants such as them but never truly feels like home. Airs Monday 5 October, 10.20pm, on Film4.
Osgood Perkins’ nerve-shredding horror 'Longlegs' follows a series of crimes in which fathers murder their families, then kill themselves. Left at each scene is a letter in code, signed “Longlegs”. Maika Monroe’s intuitive FBI agent Lee takes the case and becomes increasingly haunted by it, while Nicolas Cage gives a suitably out-there cameo as her nemesis. Airs Friday 9 October, 10pm, on BBC Two.
