After the revelation about Kim hiring

someone to kill Graham, Marlon’s distrust

of everyone has reached peak levels. First

of all he demands that Mandy moves out,

and then he declares that he’s done with

all of the Dingles.

Meanwhile, the police arrive at Butlers

with new forensic evidence on the gun

used to shoot Nate. Cara suggests to Nate

that he leaves the village with her.

Elsewhere, Dawn is overjoyed to learn

Clare Balding hosts daily coverage of

this, the doggy Oscars, live from the

NEC in Birmingham.

As ever it’s a glorious four days for

dog lovers as our pedigree chums

compete in categories such as agility

and obedience.

And every breed is represented,

from great Danes and St Bernards to

tiny little handbag-sized pooches.

Today’s theme is Which Dog Is

Best for Me and My Lifestyle? We’ll

also see highlights from events

including Flyball and Heelwork to

Music. Clare meets Scarlett Moffatt

from Gogglebox to find out why she’s

visiting Crufts, and some WWE

wrestlers pick their favourite dogs.

The programme will bust some

common Crufts myths. And there

are discussions on dogs that save

lives and dogs in mental health.

There’s also some advice on how

to buy a puppy based on breeds

suited to particular personalities,

and dog welfare and healthy

breeding is explored.

It’s simply the best doggone show

in town.

Prepare for some extreme nail-biting

tension as this modern-day take on

the HG Wells classic – penned in 1897 –

hits our screens.

With a critically-acclaimed cast,

including Gabriel Byrne and Elizabeth

McGovern, this is the famous story of

total global disaster.

It’s all eerily calm at first, but we

know a storm is coming.

Astronomers are working at an

observatory deck in France. They have

been beaming out music into space

and now, suddenly, they are hearing a

weird signal, with a bizarre frequency.

Is it what they think it is? Time to

make that all-important call: “We

believe we have detected evidence of

extraterrestrial life.”

Everything very quickly goes wrong

after that.

The world’s population waits for

further contact with bated breath but

within days, cue global panic, running

and screaming...

And after the attack, only pockets of

humanity are left alive in an eerily

deserted world.

This is a hugely tense, well-told saga

of epic proportions.

A GRIPPING and shocking story

of racism, social divide, love and

power, this series reveals an

alternate world that looks all

too familiar.

Based on Malorie Blackman’s

award-winning young adult book

series, it begins by telling us that

more than 700 years ago the Aprican

Empire invaded Europe.

Aprica colonised and reached as

far as Albion – the name for what we

know as Britain. Albion has been

under Aprican rule ever since.

In London in the present day,

Callum McGregor ( Jack Rowan) is a

Nought, a white member of the

underclass.

Sephy Hadley (Masali Baduza) is a

Cross, a member of the black ruling

class and daughter of Home Secre-

tary Kamal Hadley (Paterson Joseph).

There are shocking opening scenes

as two black police officers arrest

some white youths for no

apparent reason, calling

them the derogatory term

“blanca”, with Callum’s friend

Danny being brutally

attacked and hospitalised.

It’s the 10th police

brutality this year and the

Noughts are outraged.

Meanwhile, Helen Baxendale plays

Callum’s mum Meggie. She’s house-

keeper to the home secretary and

tells Callum and his brother Jude to

do nothing about the attack.

Instead, she wants them to

help out at Sephy’s mum’s

birthday party.

At the party, Sephy and

Callum meet for the first time

since they were children and a

spark ignites.

There’s a Romeo and Juliet feel to

the story as two young people from

families across a social divide seek to

be together. And there’s danger at

every turn in a world ruled by fear.
