EastEnders horror in early iPlayer release as a knife is pulled on major local
This article contains spoilers for tonight's episode of EastEnders, which airs on BBC One at 7.30pm or can be streamed now on iPlayer. Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) has turned on one of his own with a knife. As viewers of the soap know, the newbie is in hot water with some vicious thugs, after he tipped off the police about their involvement in the car robbery. The group's ringleader Mike (Tai Hilferink) had tried to petrol bomb Oscar's home, mistakenly targeting the neighbours instead. As a result he was kicked out by mum Tanya (Jo Joyner) and has settled in Albert Square since being released from a youth detention centre. So far he's proved himself to be quite the troublemaker; trying to scam Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), flirting with just about every man or woman he's crossed, and causing undue stress for his sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and her fiancé Peter Beale (Thomas Law). After discovering that his nephew Jimmy is visually impaired, fans saw a softer side to Oscar, who later volunteered to babysit his two nephews. Disaster struck when Mike let himself into the house, leaving a large kitchen knife jammed in the chopping board as a warning of what he was capable of. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In today's episode, Lauren found out about the altercation. Louie, who had spotted Mike chatting with Oscar, asked if he was going to return again soon. A troubled Oscar was then forced to explain what had happened, and promised his sister that her sons weren't in danger. Later, after heading to the market for a shift, he spotted Mike and his mate Harrison lurking in the shadows. Knowing that it was high time this stopped, he pulled the lads to one side and tried to find a solution. Harrison swooped in from behind and punched him in the stomach, with Mike lifting a brick over Oscar's head. Luckily, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) rushed to his defence, but the violence didn't end there. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Fans rejoice as Line of Duty ‘confirms return'
Adrian Dunbar, who portrays Ted Hastings in Line of Duty, has stated that the crime drama is poised to return next year. Dunbar revealed he was frustrated by the previous series finale, which revealed the identity of 'H' as Detective Superintendent Ian Buckells. Despite attracting a record 12.8 million viewers, the finale was widely criticised by audiences as disappointing. Creator Jed Mercurio is currently writing new scripts, and Dunbar hopes the BBC will soon make an official announcement regarding the show's return.

Their ducking reaction to being filmed at Boston's gig has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about an alleged affair.
