The Light in the Hall: Still Waters

9pm, Channel 4
As the second season of this gloomily gripping Welsh drama concludes, the tone is more elegy than explosion as the events around the controversial reservoir expansion continue to unfold. Budding journalist Caryl Huws (Siân Reese-Williams) is probing Llŷr’s demise but this puts her on a collision course with Robert (Robert Glenister), who wants the past to remain undisturbed. It has been a bleak study in small town ennui. Phil Harrison

More revisits for Kirstie and Phil, who return to Leeds to see how Dan and Max have got on in the five years since they helped them find a home. Then to west London, where Cat and Ed have doubled their money since 2009. Hard to regard this as a triumph for anyone other than them, of course. PH

Film choice

Enola Holmes 3 (Philip Barantini, 2026), Netflix

The Victorian-era teen mystery reunites ingenious screenwriter Jack Thorne with his Watson director Philip Barantini. Barantini may be new to Enola Holmes but he’s not to Thorne, the two having collaborated on Netflix mega-hit Adolescence. That bodes well for this third movie, which sees the nepo-detective (Millie Bobby Brown) distracted from her destination wedding to the dreamy-but-drippy Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) by an unforeseen calamity. Dr Watson (Himesh Patel) arrives in Malta to tell Enola that her brother, the famed sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill), has been kidnapped – and she is the only one Mother Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter) trusts to come to his rescue. Ellen E Jones

A Cock and Bull Story (Michael Winterbottom, 2005), 9pm, BBC Three
This is a madcap, sort-of adaptation of Laurence Sterne’s 18th-century work of metafiction, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (in at No 19 on the Guardian’s 100 best novels of all time), in which a British film crew try to adapt the book for the screen. But it’s also the first time Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan co-starred as heightened versions of themselves, under the direction of Michael Winterbottom. That means we have this film to thank for four glorious series of The Trip. What a legacy. EEJ

The Last Tree (Shola Amoo, 2019), 1.25am, Film4

You can’t call yourself a connoisseur of British cinema if you haven’t seen this hypnotic coming-of-age tale. Sam Adewunmi is Femi, a British Nigerian who moves from Lincolnshire to London to Lagos in search of a more stable sense of self, while comedian Gbemisola Ikumelo is startlingly good as Femi’s birth mother. The visuals betray the influence of Terrence Malick, but the tender emotional insights are all writer-director Shola Amoo’s own, establishing him as a major talent. EEJ

Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story (Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam, 2026), HBO Max
The story of Robin Byrd is a true New York story about sex and the city, so it’s fitting that Carrie Bradshaw, AKA Sarah Jessica Parker, would be on board as producer on this callback to a more open-minded era. Byrd began broadcasting her weekly sex show on public access television in 1977, and soon became not only a local celebrity (Cheri Oteri played her on SNL) but an LGBTQ+ activist. That meant fighting decades-long legal battles with Time Warner Cable, now Warner Bros Discovery, ie the parent company of HBO Max, this documentary’s broadcaster. Only in New York! EEJ
