TV tonight: a harrowing drama about the Lockerbie bombing
Sunday, 9pm, BBC One
Following Sky's Lockerbie but with a wider focus, this drama is a moving exploration of the terrorist attack that killed 270 people on 21 December 1988. The crash and its immediate aftermath is harrowingly well realised – there's minimal dialogue, just the same stunned, horrified incomprehension that the first responders must have felt. The atrocity soon becomes a political football as British and US law enforcement bodies have to work together. But it's ultimately a story of loss; the emotional toll taken on the relatives of the victims and the town of Lockerbie is never forgotten. Connor Swindells and Peter Mullan star, while Mogwai provide a gorgeous original soundtrack. Phil Harrison
9pm, ITV1
Recent thriller Reunion proved that British Sign Language can make for great mainstream drama. This offering is similarly striking, starring Rose Ayling-Ellis as Alison, a deaf woman working in a police canteen whose expertise in lip-reading catches the attention of detectives. Before long, she's indispensable – but that comes with risks. The occasional confusion caused by Alison's deafness is cleverly written into the fabric of the narrative and becomes a source of tension and intrigue. PH
9pm, BBC Two
Another understated but fascinating journey with Simon Reeve, whose travelogues have become essential viewing thanks to his ability to connect the intimately personal with the expansively geopolitical. His Nordic jaunt begins in Svalbard – a bleak Norwegian outpost that has nevertheless become contested as Russia flexes its muscles in the area. PH
10pm, BBC Two
Back for series 66 (it's entirely possible that viewers watching from the start could have become doting grandparents during its run), and a return welcome for Skunk Anansie. Also, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, Irish singer-songwriter CMAT, goth-rocker Jojo Orme, AKA Heartworms, and Vermont folkie Sam Amidon. Ali Catterall
10pm, Channel 4
Mamma Mia's Amanda Seyfried takes on a very different role in this gritty new crime thriller, as Mickey, a conscientious Philadelphia cop and single mum. When a string of sex workers turn up dead on her beat, top brass chalks it up to a 'bad batch' of drugs, but Mickey suspects a serial killer. Ellen E Jones
10.05pm, ITV1
A final treat for anyone longing for more titbits from this funny and profound series in which celebrities are interviewed by neurodivergent people. Expect Danny Dyer's views on Andrew Tate and, more cheerfully, Jade Thirlwall explaining her crush on Paul Hollywood. PH
Wuthering Heights, 12.55am, Film4
Andrea Arnold brings earthy conviction to her 2011 adaptation of Emily Brontë's smouldering classic. This is the first version that makes overt the latent suggestion that Heathcliff is African Caribbean, emphasising the transgressive (for the times) nature of his love for Catherine. It's a heavy, passionate, at times brutal rendering of the wild moorland romance – almost an anti-costume drama. Shannon Beer and Kaya Scodelario are convincing as the young and grownup Cathy, while Solomon Glave and James Howson share the crucial role of the tempestuous Heathcliff. Simon Wardell

Snoop Dogg wants to open ‘Paradise' burger van at Celtic Park
The rapper Snoop Dogg is reportedly looking to branch out from gin and juice and open a burger van at Celtic Park in Glasgow. The 53-year-old hip-hop star has previously spoken of investing in Celtic FC in a manner similar to Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds's involvement with Wrexham FC. Snoop Dogg has already published a cookbook and claims to have spoken to chef Gordon Ramsay about a possible venture in Glasgow together – but he has now revealed he wants to set up a fast-food van at Celtic's stadium in the city's east end. He has described Celtic supporters as 'special' and the best fans in European football, and said he identifies strongly with the club's mascot Hoopy the Hound – describing it in a previous interview as a 'match made in heaven'. The keen sports fan worked as a correspondent for NBC at the Paris Olympics last year, has launched two youth football leagues, and has been a vocal advocate for pay equality for female athletes. He told the Mail on Sunday that Celtic fans would support the burger van and that it would become a foodie 'Paradise' – the nickname given to Celtic Park. He said: 'I would love to bring a pop-up burger (van) to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' But he said he would not be taking his culinary ventures to Rangers, Celtic's Old Firm rivals at the Ibrox stadium. Snoop told the Mail on Sunday: 'Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss.'
