Today's top TV and streaming choices: The Gold, Where the Crawdads Sing and Ocean with David Attenborough
The Gold BBC One, 9pm Cast your mind back to February 2023 when, while we were still reeling from the final scenes of Happy Valley, the BBC launched a new — but very different — crime drama on an unsuspecting world. Entitled The Gold, it focused on the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, when six career criminals made off with gold bullion, diamonds and cash now worth £111million from a London warehouse facility. The six-parter proved to be gripping stuff, but there was heaps more of the story to tell. Thankfully, the BBC's bosses knew they were on to a winner, so immediately commissioned a second series — which is about to begin. 'I am delighted that we have been given the opportunity to tell the rest of the Brink's-Mat story,' states the programme's writer and executive producer Neil Forsyth. 'It sees the consequences of the robbery and its aftermath grow only more surprising, dramatic and far-reaching, both in Britain and around the world.' Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliott, Tom Cullen and Stefanie Martini return, as does Jack Lowden as Kenneth Noye, one of the criminals involved, although he doesn't appear until the third episode. The story picks up after the conviction of some of those involved in the handling of the stolen goods as well as the theft itself. However, the police are convinced there's more to the story, leading them to investigate international money laundering and organised crime. The Sunday Game Live RTÉ2, 1.30pm The McDonagh Cup final between Kildare and Laois takes place at Croke Park before there's a chance to see Kilkenny face Galway in the Leinster Hurling final. Highlights can be seen at 9.30pm. From that Small Island RTÉ One, 6.30pm ADVERTISEMENT Subtitled The Story of the Irish, this new four-part documentary series, narrated by Colin Farrell, offers insights into the history of the people who have populated the island of Ireland. The opener looks back at the first residents and features a reconstruction of one of our ancestors. Walking with Dinosaurs BBC One, 6.30pm Bertie Carvel takes viewers to Utah 130 million years ago, where a group of armoured dinosaurs are about to reach maturity — if a group of vicious utahraptors don't catch up with them first. Sloinne TG4, 8.30pm Siobhán de Paor investigates the origins of her surname, which translates as Power in English. Along the way she learns about sculptor Albert Power and Dr Sheila Power, who is believed to be the first Irishwoman to be awarded a doctorate in mathematical sciences. The Towering Inferno RTÉ One, 2.40pm All-star disaster epic in which a group of VIPs are trapped in the world's tallest building when it bursts into flames. The plot follows the efforts of its architect and a fire chief to rescue them. Paul Newman and Steve McQueen play the duo. Where the Crawdads Sing RTÉ One, 9.30pm A lawyer sets out to clear the name of a non-conformist young woman accused of murdering her boyfriend in America's Deep South during the late 1960s. Daisy Edgar-Jones and David Strathairn star in this taut drama. The Survivors Netflix, streaming now We're mostly used to two types of Australian viewing: soaps and super-dry (to the point of cringe) comedy. This is different. The drama follows Kieran Elliott's life after two people drown in his hometown of Evelyn Bay, Australia. To top it off, a young girl also went missing. Returning with his family 15 years later, the simmering guilt resurfaces, especially when the body of a young woman is found on the beach… K.O. Netflix, streaming now No one does visceral city grit like the French. Bastien has lived as a recluse since accidentally killing his opponent Enzo in an MMA fight three years ago. Now, Enzo's widow tracks him down as, essentially, he owes her one. Her request? Find her missing teenage son. Tyler Perry's Straw Netflix, streaming now Between this and last month's release of She the People, Mr Tyler Perry is getting himself around. This offering, however, is far more stark than May's fare. Here, one mum's day unfurls as it goes from tricky to catastrophic. Pushed to the precipice by a world that seems indifferent to her plight (until they can livestream it), she soon gets attention when she unwittingly holds up a bank. The Orkney Assassin Prime Video, streaming now The Orkney Isles lie 130 miles north of Aberdeen. It's a peaceful place with a strong sense of community. In June 1994, however, Bangladeshi waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood was working at the lone curry house when a masked man fatally shot him. This documentary revisits one of Scotland's most extraordinary murder cases, examining racism, loyalty, and the impact of trauma decades later.
