Channel 4 airs a documentary tonight marking a year since the Southport attack, where a 17-year-old stabbed children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, killing three young girls. The film follows a family whose daughter survived the stabbing, as they condemn the riots that followed, fuelled by extreme-right rhetoric and online misinformation. It also explores broader societal issues exposed by the unrest.
On BBC Two, Jimmy McGovern's difficult drama examines the aftermath of a man released from prison after sexually abusing a young boy in his own family. The feature-length film stars Anna Maxwell Martin, Anna Friel and David Threlfall.
Other highlights include Danny Dyer's Bafta-winning sitcom on Sky Max, the final episode of the Mitford drama on U&Drama, and Channel 5's series re-evaluating the Blitz through a class lens.
