BBC1 Drama

The 1920s gangster drama

returns with yet more gun

battles, gruesome deaths,

passion and blackmail.

Tommy Shelby takes his seat

as a Labour MP just as the Wall

Street Crash hits, affecting the

enterprises run by Aunt Polly

and the family. Look out for

Sam Claflin as maverick

MP Oswald Mosley

who spots a spark

in Tommy as he

speaks in the House

of Commons.

Sanditon

SUNDAY 25 August, 9pm ITV Drama

Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel comes

to life in this costume drama starring Rose

Williams as the spirited heroine Charlotte

Heywood. Charlotte becomes a summer

guest at the up-and-coming coastal resort

of Sanditon, but her self-confidence is

knocked by a spiky relationship with the

charming Sidney Parker (Theo James).

Anne Reid and Kris

Marshall also star.
