TV tonight: Michelle Keegan's prickly 50s drama returns
8pm, BBC One
Brassic co-creator Danny Brocklehurst's enjoyably prickly period drama about UK families trying to make a fresh start in 1950s Oz returns for a second series. After a year in a crummy hostel camp, the expanding Roberts clan – headed by ex-soldier Terry (Warren Brown) and sharp shopgirl Annie (Faye Marsay) – are determined to move up in the world. Meanwhile, desperate nurse Kate (Michelle Keegan) has reclaimed her birth son … but how long can the pair remain on the run? Graeme Virtue
6.15pm, BBC One
Tom Hanks's lovely narration and some incredible filming atone for this nature documentary's rather vague remit. This week we are in Mexico: there's mum-and-chicks drama in the desert, and dastardly orcas scheming together to hunt dolphins in the Sea of Cortez. Plus, a closeup look at orchid bees and monarch butterflies. Jack Seale
9pm, BBC One
As the star-studded Agatha Christie adaptation reaches its second act, a shocking murder is discovered at Gull's Point – the Devon estate of Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston). Insp Leach (Matthew Rhys) must find his footing amid the love triangles and society scandals of 1930s England if he is to bring a killer to justice. Ellen E Jones
9pm, BBC Two
Another grimly enthralling tiptoe around a horrific crime scene. A man has been fatally stabbed in his Birmingham home and it falls to forensics expert Cara Nicholls-Parkin to follow – quite literally at times – the trail of blood. It's inevitably bleak but also remarkable in its depiction of the many facets of a murder investigation. Phil Harrison
9pm, Channel 4
It's final time, and the kiln pressure is on as the final three contestants make a statement Greek amphora. Siobhán McSweeney manages any cracks, while judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller choose their winner. Before that: one last task that involves extreme throwing. HR

By 2020, Sarah Turner had garnered millions of podcast listens and TikTok views as she shared her belief that her father killed her sister Alissa nearly 20 years earlier. It resulted in an arrest and trial that was later dismissed. She shares her personal investigation in this feature-length documentary. Hollie Richardson
Get Carter, 10pm, BBC Two
There is often a cruel, amoral edge to Michael Caine's most memorable characters, and Jack Carter in Mike Hodges's hardcore crime drama is a case study in cold-hearted revenge. Back home in Newcastle upon Tyne to find out who killed his brother, London-based gangster Jack rubs everyone up the wrong way. But will he get to the truth before the local mobsters send him packing, or worse? Hodges has a great feel for the working-class environment Jack moves through, setting scenes in pubs, racecourses, ferries and the bingo, as his quest gets ever more brutal. Simon Wardell

Primark is one of the best-loved brands on the high street, and is constantly wowing us with its stylish but affordable fashion. From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its new summer collection is no exception. Posting to their TikTok account, Primark recently shared a clip of a brand its new jelly tote bag being carried by a fashion fan on a pebble beach. "Packed up and beach ready", Primark said. The stylish silver bag is large enough to fit in all your summer essentials, such as a towel and sun cream. It's made from a waterproof material, so it will keep your belongings dry, and its super lightweight. Plus, the bag is just £10, so is perfect for penny pinchers. Primark said: "Add a playful twist to your everyday look with this jelly tote bag. "Made from a flexible, wipe-clean material, it's lightweight yet roomy enough to carry your essentials with ease.

"Whether you're heading to the beach, the shops or just out and about, this bag brings a hint of fun to your outfit." The lightweight bag is available in store, or via click and collect on the Primark website. And it's already proving popular with fashion fans. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers.

Welsh seaside town with cobbled streets and an ancient pub features in Death Valley
Welsh seaside town with cobbled streets and an ancient pub features in Death Valley Viewers of the show may have spotted this Vale of Glamorgan seaside town within the first few seconds of Death Valley's recent episode when a car drove through its streets as it headed to the church for a wedding Llantwit Major became the fictional town of Cwmishel in the latest episode of BBC's Death Valley (Image: BBC ) Llantwit Major has been transformed into the fictional town of Cwmishel for the third episode of Death Valley. Viewers of the show may have spotted the Vale of Glamorgan seaside town within the first few seconds of the latest episode as a car drove through its streets as it headed to the church for a wedding. In this week's episode, which aired on BBC One on Sunday, June 8, Janie (played by Gwyneth Keyworth) was tasked with solving the murder of best man Gethin Bennion the night before the wedding. Gethin's body was found in the graveyard of the church, which some may have spotted as the grounds of St Illtud's Church. And a bit later fans got to see inside the beautiful church. Some may say it is this church that put Llantwit Major on the map. Around the fifth century St Illtud established the oldest seat of Christian learning in Britain. Now the place is a charming little town with its cobbled streets, quaint shops, and eateries and is only a stone's throw away from the seaside. Article continues below Known in Welsh as Llanilltud Fawr this town is about a 40-minute drive from the Welsh capital and about a 25-minute drive from Barry. Its nearby Cwm Colhuw Beach (or Llantwit Major Beach) is the perfect place to go surfing or for a coastal walk. For a decent walk in the area start your journey at the beach car park before embarking on the path that offers spectacular views of the Bristol Channel, 12th-century castle, limestone crags, cliffs and caves hollowed out by the sea, before reaching the Nash Point Lighthouse. Janie (played by Gwyneth Keyworth) was tasked with solving the murder of best man Gethin Bennion the night before the wedding (Image: BBC ) This was in service for two centuries before it was one of the UK's last manned lighthouses to switch to an automatic operation. This walk, which is great to spot fossils, is also a circular walk and can take you back to Cwm Colhuw Beach. And after that walk you might be fancying a sit-down meal and there are plenty of options in this corner of Vale of Glamorgan. Rosedew Farm's Acorn Café is a popular venue. Tucked away on a farm this café is known for serving mouth-watering roast dinners. For the latest restaurant news and reviews sign up to our food and drink newsletter here. Diners can opt for roasted topside of beef, pork shoulder, turkey crown, lamb, or butternut squash, lentil, and almond Wellington with a selection of veggies, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, roast parsnips, and stuffing for a decent price. The view near Nash Point Lighthouse (Image: Lewis Smith ) And on the colder days you can enjoy its cosy log-burning stove, a selection of homemade cakes, and a hot drink making it the perfect pit stop following your coastal walk. In 2016 the town's beloved pub The Old Swan Inn underwent a drastic £40,000 makeover. The 12th-century pub is now home to a dedicated restaurant area so you can enjoy a hearty pub meal with your pint. The inn serves dishes such as a slow-cooked pork belly, vegan curry, and the classics including fish and chips and steaks making it the perfect spot that caters for anyone's appetite. Other places to dine or drink include The Old White Hart – the 18th-century pub on the aptly-named Wine Street – while its sister pub Tudor Tavern, just around the corner in Church Street, is just as old. If Italian and Mediterranean dishes are what you're looking for head over to Porto Due nestled in Pound Field. And for your cosy cafés you have Bakehouse in Commercial Street, Café Velo in Church Street, and The Cwtch Restaurant in East Street. And Llantwit Major would not be the town we know it as today without its array of shops. The Old Swan Inn, a 12th century pub in Llantwit Major For all things vintage, whether that be furniture, fashion, fabric, or even teddy bears and doll houses, Pretty Vintage Things is the ideal place for a touch of nostalgia. To find the perfect gift for a special someone Stwff-Stuff is the place to go, especially if you are looking for a Welsh gift. They have soaps, chocolates, jams and preserves, candles, vases, keyrings, ceramic tokes and much more and all were crafted here in Wales. Rio Fashions is the place to try on and buy female fashion and accessories from dresses to fascinators, hats, scarves, jackets, and cardigans. To grab your next book Nickleby's Bookstore in Pound Field has all kinds of new and second-hand literary choices.

Head over here for their brownies, sausage rolls, lemon drizzle cake, or any bake your heart desires.
