On DemandClarkson’s Farm (Prime, from Wed)“Over the years bright lights in the sky have been used to make many important announcements,” claimed Jeremy Clarkson in a video he released on November 5 last year. “The birth of baby Jesus for example, but tonight they’re being used to make an announcement that’s even bigger than that. Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm is coming!” And here, at last, more than six months later, it is. As ever, big things are happening at Diddly Squat, despite its owner’s concerns about what the government’s budget means for farms and farmers. He hopes to make the place run more smoothly by making some big changes, including the adoption of hi-tech processes – resulting in Kaleb’s first-ever foreign jaunt. And there’s even more excitement on the way too…The Murder of Rachel Nickell (Netflix, from Thu)In July 1992, the horrifying news of Nickell’s murder hit the headlines. The 23-year-old mother had been stabbed to death while walking with her toddler son Alex and their dog on Wimbledon Common in broad daylight; Alex was found clinging to her body. A lengthy police investigation followed, culminating in the arrest and eventual acquittal of an innocent man; then, 16 years after her death, Rachel’s real murderer, Robert Napper, was found guilty. Bafta-nominated director Lucy Bowden’s documentary uses expert testimony and archive footage to chart the investigation.

She can’t remember her name or how she got there, but it soon becomes clear that she knows something others want to keep hidden – and unless the police can uncover her identity and unlock the secrets laying dormant in her memory, she remains in grave danger. Truc says: “Writing the book was a wonderful adventure working alongside Rosa Montero, and I know that many readers who loved the book are just as eager as I am to see it on screen!”Cape Fear (Apple TV+, from Fri)In 1957, US thriller writer John D MacDonald published his novel The Executioners. Five years later it was turned into a film starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. Then, in 1991, Martin Scorsese retold the story, this time with Nick Nolte and Robert De Niro in the lead roles. Now the book has been dusted down and given a modern-day revamp. The result is a 10-part TV series starring Javier Bardem as Max Cady, who has just been released from a long prison stretch on a technicality – new evidence suggests he was never guilty of the crime for which he was jailed. He holds two people responsible for his incarceration – lawyers Anna and Tom Bowden (played by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson) – and now he’s out for revenge…Office Romance (Netflix, from Fri)The title may sound rather generic, but the makers of this romcom assure everyone it’s far from ordinary. Directed by Ol Parker, whose CV also includes Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Ticket to Paradise, it features a screenplay by Joe Kelly and Brett Goldstein. The latter also stars as workaholic Daniel Blanchflower (apparently named after one of Spurs fan Goldstein’s favourite players), who has no time for love – until he embarks on a secret fling with the equally dedicated Jackie Cruz (Jennifer Lopez). “Every day I come to work to do a romcom with Jennifer Lopez and this incredible cast, and I expect people to jump out and tell me I’m being pranked,” said Goldstein during filming. “Hasn’t happened yet, so maybe this is real?”Saturday 30/05/26Rugby League Challenge Cup Final (BBC One, regions vary)This year’s showpiece match at Wembley Stadium is a rematch of last year’s Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford when Hull KR easily overcame Wigan 24-6 to secure a treble.

Among the favourites to succeed Harry Moulding and be named this year’s BGT champion are poet Sonny Green, singer Matty Juniosa, comedian Ted Hill, and magicians Rafferty Coope and Fabian Fox.Shergar: The Racehorse and the IRA (Channel 4, 8pm)In February 1983, Shergar was the most valuable racehorse in the world – worth tens of millions of pounds. However, his new life at the Aga Khan’s Ballymany Stud Farm in County Kildare was short-lived. In a daring late-night raid, armed men stormed the property, holding his groom and family at gunpoint before vanishing into the night with the legendary equine champion.

It was an instant hit, and little has changed in the ensuing two decades – well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – except that it’s got bigger and continues to attract increasingly impressive names. We can expect a celebratory atmosphere at the London Stadium for this year’s event, in which Joe Marler, Owen Cooper and, if he can lift his legs up after his recent epic fundraising challenge, Olly Murs, line up alongside Jill Scott, Wayne Rooney and co for England. They’ll be up against the likes of Chris O’Dowd, Usain Bolt and Jordi Alba.The Mother of All Cons (BBC Two, 9pm)In 2012, 16-year-old Meghan Bhari founded the charity Believe in Magic.

It ran for 12 successful seasons and inspired both Robbie Cumming’s show Canal Boat Diaries and this production, which is back for its third run. Once again it will be broadcast daily and follow the adventures of those who make Britain’s waterways their home. No doubt, if they were still around, Tim and Pru would approve – and be avid fans.

Meanwhile, in Lancashire, retiree Michelle is preparing for the arrival of her grandchildren at her narrowboat.Great Continental Railway Journeys (BBC Two, 6.30pm)Having sampled the delights of Belgium last week, Michael Portillo is now turning his attention to Hungary.

Her story, sadly, isn’t unusual – women are suffering without receiving the help and treatment they need, largely because there is so little understanding of a condition that is as common as diabetes, but receives only a fraction of its funding for research. In the BBC’s first major documentary on the subject, Emma visits specialist centres across the country to meet women making potentially life-changing decisions about surgery and fertility, as well as the doctors attempting to help them.Forensics: Crash Scene Investigators (5, 9pm)We’re heading to Derbyshire for insights into two tragic accidents.

It’s 2014, and Niall (Jamie Bell) has built a new life for himself. However, old ties resurface when Mona (Amy Manson) reconnects with Ruben (Gadd).Wednesday 03/06/26Inside the Tower of London (5, 8pm)The latest episode focuses on the discovery of a skeleton which was unearthed by the archaeologists excavating outside the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula.

Meanwhile, Gaoler John Donnell learns more about two of the Tower’s more recent and most notorious residents, Ronnie and Reggie Kray.Amandaland (BBC One, 9pm)In the first episode of the current run, Amanda (Lucy Punch) made a Dragon’s Den-style pitch to the bank but failed to persuade them that loaning her the money to buy a property more befitting her status as an aspirational lifestyle influencer was a wise investment.

Meanwhile, Fi (Rochenda Sandall) needs some new wheels for her business, and begins the transformation into a white van man.Surgeons: At the Edge of Life (BBC Two, 9pm)Around five million major operations take place every year in the UK.

Instead, the site’s IT department blew up the world as we know it when they invented the World Wide Web..Only Child (BBC One, 9.30pm)Richard (Greg McHugh) is usually being dragged into his dad’s exploits, but now for once, he has a good excuse to make himself scarce. Ken (Gregor Fisher) is looking forward to having Beth (Jenny Galloway) over for dinner and is pulling out all the stops – including painting over the damp patch on the living room ceiling. With his dad seemingly otherwise occupied, it seems like a welcome chance for Richard (Greg McHugh) to just enjoy a bit of peace and quiet and read his book.

So, not only is Richard not going to be able to finish his book without distractions, but it looks like some big secrets are set to be exposed.Thursday 04/06/26George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds (Channel 4, 8pm)In the second episode of the series, George Clarke comes to the aid of widow Shaz and her two children, who live in the leafy north east London suburb of Woodford Green.

He tells them that he is fine, and although the officers declare him safe, 10 days later, his family report him missing again.David Beckham: In Ten Pictures (BBC Two, 9pm)Wherever David Beckham goes, the cameras are rarely far behind, but is it possible to tell his story in just 10 iconic images? This documentary gives it a try as it examines some of the most famous images of the man who has helped redefine the concept of modern celebrity and even masculinity. It also reminds us that he was pretty good at football too – a picture of the then 21-year-old David raising his hands to the sky, having just scored against Wimbledon from his own half in 1996, helped to turn him into a household name.

When the two teams last played each other in April, the Lionesses executed the perfect game plan, emerging with 1-0 victory thanks to a solitary Lauren Hemp goal. The result put Sarina Wiegman’s side in the driving seat in the group where only the winner will qualify automatically.
