EMMERDALE

ITV, 7pm

It’s been unbearable for Kerry and Amy ever

since the factory fire as they struggle to cope

with their guilt. So they’ve decided the best thing

to do is to take Kyle, leave town and start again

somewhere where they don’t have to face those

people every day.

Amy isn’t super keen but is going along with it,

but when she sneaks in to get Kyle’s passport

and is caught red-handed by Nate, she ends up

breaking down and confessing everything to him.

EASTENDERS

BBC1, 8pm

As the parties continue, all the stags and hens

decide to join forces at E20. Although the groom-

to-be isn’t actually there as Mick learns when he

takes a rather worse-for-wear Linda home.

Halfway has actually been with Ben, who we

later see keeping a rather smug eye on Mel. She’s

making her final preparations to leave Walford

with her escaped jailbird son Hunter, but Halfway

has secretly swiped the keys to the basement

where she’s hiding him.

THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE

OFF: AN EXTRA SLICE

Channel 4, 8pm

An hour and a bit of tent life each week

is just not enough, so this Extra Slice of

Bake Off goodness is very welcome.

Once again hosted by Jo Brand in

front of a studio audience of GBBO

obsessives, each week she chats to a

panel of celebrity fans.

There’s a look back over everything

that happened in the tent that week,

some nuggets of unseen footage, and

an interview with the baker who was

first out – support worker Dan, who

was an absolute sweetheart.

And there’s comedian Tom Allen

swanning his way around the studio,

judging the bakes brought in by the

audience – as well as the audience

themselves.

This time those on the panel are

Frank Skinner, Stephen Mangan and

Scarlett Moffatt, who reveal what they

think of this year’s line-up of bakers.

DOG EAT DOG

Rinder won’t

hold back

THE ROB RINDER

VERDICT

Channel 4, 10pm

Who’s he, you might ask? It’s

Judge Rinder, of course. Aka the

cutting courtroom king of

daytime TV, aka the fella who was

a runner-up on Strictly 2016, aka

a seriously intelligent and

naturally funny chap who is

taking the helm of this new late-

night topical newsy comedy show.

There are no previews available

as it’s recorded near-enough live,

but according to the blurb from

Channel 4, Rob will be “mixing his

razor-sharp legal mind and

hilarious hot takes to satirically

dissect what is going on with the

world today, and searching for

the elusive things that might

make Britain a better place”.

Sounds good to us, not to

mention much-needed.

Rob will be joined in the studio

by different celebrity guests

across the series, including

comedians Katherine Ryan, Big

Narstie and Tom Allen.

He’ll also be quizzing high-

profile politicians.

Fairy tale to

wild fantasy

BLOOMIN’ ECK Orlando

and Cara Delevingne star

in this new TV drama

CARNIVAL ROW

Amazon Prime

IF you’ve been feeling bereft

since the end of Game of

Thrones and are already

counting down the days to the

start of Philip Pullman’s His

Dark Materials, then this new

drama series could be the

perfect thing to fill the gap.

It’s epically gorgeous and set in a

mystical world of fairies, fauns and

trolls – as well as humans – in a city

that looks like a magical 1800s

London. And despite the fact that

it’s a period piece full of people with

wings, horns and animal legs, when

it comes to the themes of politics

and fascism, it’s actually hugely

relevant to what’s happening in the

world right now.

It’s led by Brit A-listers Orlando

Bloom and Cara Delevingne, with

other cast members including

GoT’s Indira Varma, Outlander’s

Andrew Gower, Misfits’ Karla

Crome and Chernobyl star

Jared Harris.

Orlando plays human

detective Rycroft

Philostrate, known as

Philo, who falls in love

with fairy Vignette Stone-

moss. But as war takes

over their world, they are

separated.

And locals are forced to flee to

cities such as The Burge in the

Empires of Man.

But the fairy folk are very

much not welcome –

forced to work for the

humans practically as

slaves, used to indulge

their basest passions (yep,

there’s a fairy brothel) and

subjected to hatred and

violence in their adopted home of

Carnival Row.

It’s stunning, intriguing,

and rather different, as you

might expect.

PICK

of the

DAY

GOOD GUY Eileen

with Jan, who’s

working with police

CORONATION STREET

ITV, 7.30pm & 8.30pm

When you think of Weatherfield, you don’t think

of people-trafficking gangs and guns, but that’s

how it’s going down on the cobbles tonight.

We now know that Eileen’s fella Jan is a good

guy working undercover for the police, and he’s

asked her to leave the country with him.

But whether he’ll even make it through the

court case looks in doubt as those he’s informed

on turn up on the street looking for him – armed

and dangerous.
