DanDaDan Season 2 Episode 5 Preview: Release Date, Time & Where To Watch
One of last year's breakaway anime hits is back, and season 2 looks like it's going to be just as insane and balls-to-the-wall as what we saw the first time around. With Momo and Okarun off on the hunt for the latter's second ball, the gang end up helping Jiji with his haunted apartment. However, what they find is far from a walk in the park.
From here, the season looks set to pick up in a massive way, as our dysfunctional group work together to thwart more ghosts and aliens.

The Trolley Solution: the internet's most memed moral dilemma becomes a video game
In 1967, British philosopher Philippa Foot unwittingly created one of the internet's most regurgitated memes. A runaway train is hurtling towards five people tied to the tracks. You can pull a lever to divert the train to a different track to which only one person is tied. Do you intervene to kill the one and spare the five? What if one of the tracks twisted into a really cool loop-the-loop? Or the trolley was replaced by a bloodthirsty Thomas the Tank Engine? Or the whole dilemma was clumsily altered to comment on the political controversy of the day? Originally formulated as a reflection on moral decision-making, the trolley problem found a second life in the 2010s as a well of inspiration for variously silly, irreverent and self-referential trolley-based memes. Now, it may be entering its third era as surreal interactive comedy game The Trolley Solution. Each level plays as a minigame tenuously shaped around the thought experiment. There's always a trolley, a lever and a pseudo-ethical dilemma, plus a twist to throw everything off the rails. The track is dissected into puzzle pieces that you must reassemble against the clock. A commuter next to the rails needs help remaining emotionally stable by balancing the blasts of serotonin they receive from scrolling social media. One level spirals into a short visual novel about a Japanese girl falling in love with a tram that threatens to murder her high school rival. It is, obviously, all very silly, and sees in the trolley problem the same absurdity as the memes. 'It's a serious matter presented in a kind of ridiculous way,' says solo Chilean developer byDanDans. Or, as he puts it in terms of a Reddit thread: 'It's free real estate for shit-posting.' With the basic gag already well worn, byDanDans focused on iterating the dilemma into quirkier scenarios and experimenting broadly with the minigames, before nailing down the final selection. 'Some iterations were too bland, too unfunny,' he says. 'Or I just couldn't think of a minigame that followed the four rules I set for myself.' Those rules being that each minigame needed to be fun, connected to the dilemma that unlocks it, do something that hasn't been seen before, and subvert expectations. Even so, if all this sounds a bit gimmicky that's largely because it is. The trolley solution may be best thought of as an extended interactive sketch show based around a single joke. But it's a joke with enough charm and a quick enough punchline (each minigame lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes, and the level select screen hints at a concise total run time) that it shouldn't become stale. In many ways, it's also ideally suited to the era of social media. The humour is internet-coded and the bite-size minigames are a perfect fit for quickfire TikToks pitched to video game laymen. 'I did try to make something easy to pick up and finish,' says byDanDans. 'My previous games were too technical and too hardcore for most players. I tried to make something anyone could enjoy.' Enjoy is a slightly weird word to use in the context of an ethical dilemma. If byDanDans were faced with the original trolley problem, what would he do? 'I'd have to go with the option that leads to fewer legal repercussions,' he says. 'I'd call the cops, scream for help, and try to untie or push them off the tracks.' So he'd ignore the parameters of the thought experiment and concoct a far-fetched scheme for added excitement? That tallies. The Trolley Solution is set for release on PC this winter

TV tonight: Jordan Dunbar meets survivors of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb
8.30pm, BBC OneEighty years after the atomic bomb attack, a flame burns in the middle of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan. It will only go out when all nuclear weapons are destroyed, but we are moving further and further away from that point. Jordan Dunbar meets survivors and campaigners who share how horrified they are about the state of the nuclear threat today. It is moving and pressing, but limited to just half an hour. Hollie Richardson 8pm, BBC OneIt has been a year since the Southport attacks – in which three girls were killed – and the national riots that followed. Darragh MacIntyre, who reported on those events, returns to speak with three people who took part, as well as Ibrahim Hussein, the imam of Southport mosque. HR 8pm, Channel 4In the last series he recorded before his death, Michael Mosley – TV's favourite doctor – meets people keeping healthier for longer. Is gentle tai chi more beneficial than vigorous cardio? And can an 86-year-old really cycle his way to getting the immune system of a twentysomething? The doc finds the right people to ask. HR 9pm, BBC TwoDuring one of the coldest eras in history, humans entered the Americas – 'a world that was magical, pristine and primal', as Ella Al-Shamahi discovers. Here they faced colossal predators including 12ft prehistoric bears ('the stuff that nightmares are made of'). Yet as the climate changed, they adapted through innovation, eventually planting the seeds of farming – and civilisation. Ali Catterall 9pm, BBC Three In July 2017, 20-year-old model Chloe Ayling was lured from the UK to Milan for a photoshoot that became a six-day abduction ordeal. In this expansive new three-parter, Ayling reflects on her traumatic experience and the hostile reactions she subsequently received on social media. Graeme Virtue 9pm, Sky AtlanticJulian Fellowes's Yankee Downton is now on its third season, and is belatedly becoming quite the treat. This week, Larry is back from his business trip in Arizona but his father, George, has some bad news for the Russell scion. And just who is spilling the tea about the family to the press?
