What to watch on TV and streaming today: Super Garden, Oblivion and Fountain of Youth
Super Garden RTÉ One, 7pm The judges give their final decision on who should be crowned the winner. Will it be Jorge's 'fáilte fiesta' theme, Eileen's 'new beginnings' design, Debbie's 'bee happy' garden, Chris's culinary canopy design or Rosie's WB Yeats-themed garden? Bake Off: The Professionals Channel 4, 8pm Ellie Taylor and Liam Charles welcome a fresh batch of pastry chefs to compete for the title. The series begins with a secret challenge, which sees them working without a recipe to create one of Cherish Finden's own creations, the Apple Tin. The One That Got Away RTÉ One, 11.15pm Elen Rhys and Richard Harrington star in this six-part crime drama. The shocking murder of a nurse in the Welsh seaside town of Pembroke Dock throws a historic conviction into doubt. Oblivion Film4, 9pm In the aftermath of a decades-long interplanetary war, Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) works as a drone repairman on an abandoned Earth. With only a few weeks before his mission is due to end, Jack rescues a stranger from a downed spacecraft (Olga Kurylenko) and makes a disturbing discovery. Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders Netflix, streaming now Chicago, 1982. Several cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules randomly resulted in at least seven deaths. Understandably, it ignited a countrywide panic in the United States, leading to one of the biggest criminal investigations in the nation's history. This striking documentary, from executive producer Joe Berlinger (Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes) and directors Yotam Guendelman and Ari Pines (Shadow of Truth, Buried), revisits the terrifying crime that destroyed the country's faith in the safety of commonplace brands. Were these horrifying fatalities the work of a single psychopath, or was it just a convenient scapegoat in a larger conspiracy and possible cover-up? The case that transformed the bestselling medication in the world into a terrible symbol and permanently altered public perception of the items in people's medicine cabinets is revisited through this three-part series. ADVERTISEMENT Surviving The Tunisia Beach Attack Prime Video, streaming now In 2015, a single shooter killed 38 people in less than 40 minutes. Ten years later, survivors talk about their struggle for survival and the tragedy's lingering effects. Clarkson's Farm Prime Video, streaming now Be it for inheritance tax purposes or just a pure latent love of land, Clarkson is back. After wrapping up series three, the Diddly Squat crew return to find Kaleb touring the country and Lisa launching a new product line. This means Clarkson is left to 'manage it all'. Poor lamb. Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds Netflix, streaming now Experience the thrill (albeit second-hand) of flying with the US Air Force's Thunderbirds, witnessing the intense training, risks and dedication required to be part of this elite American institution who, essentially, do doughnuts in the sky and make Mother Nature cry. That's my two cents, anyway. Fountain of Youth AppleTV+, streaming now Estranged siblings John Krasinski and Natalie Portman go on a high-stakes global heist to find the legendary fountain, unlocking secrets that could grant immortality. Yep, you read that correctly. It also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Eiza González and Stanley Tucci. Also on Apple, we have Deaf President Now, which explores a pivotal but often overlooked civil rights movement. Fear Street: Prom Queen Netflix, streaming now Bit of an arbitrary time of year for slasher fare, but here we are. The 1988 prom at Shadyside High is a battleground as the dominant It Girls plot to win the title. However, the competition becomes lethal as candidates begin to die. As a stand-up comedian and part-time convenience store employee, Cheng Le-le (Hsieh Ying-xuan) is finding that work/life balance tricky. If you throw her marital woes and her father's memory lapses into the mix, she's a woman on the brink.

It ticks the Brit crime boxes (bad weather, scarred detectives), but this drama is deeply haunting
The One That Got Away ★★★½ There must be times, one is sure, when the weather is fine in Great Britain. There have to be warm summer days occasionally – you see them on the cricket sometimes. But if you're a character in a British crime drama, you better wrap up warm because you'll wait a long time for the sun to shine. When the subject is murder and our heroes are looking into the human heart's murkiest corners, grim skies will always loom overhead and there'll be an icy chill in the air, as Mother Nature does the right thing, by matching the atmosphere to the story. Which brings us to The One That Got Away and a small town in Wales, where horror lurks in the woods, the past lies in wait to devastate the present, and everything is, as always, cold, grey and foreboding. There are two kinds of British murder mystery: the first, is where murder is a rather jolly puzzle to be solved, and the other is where murder is just one part of the crushing misery that suffuses all life. The One That Got Away is not, it quickly becomes apparent, jolly. It begins with a young nurse strangled in the woods and gets darker from there. Called to the scene of the murder is DS Rick Sheldon (Richard Harrington), a happily married father whose wholesome domestic bonhomie is only slightly bruised by his naturally stressful career. But this case is different. Not only is the victim a friend of his wife's, the killing bears haunting hallmarks of a case he worked on years ago, the so-called 'Heart Knot Murders'. It's not just the atrocity that's confronting him, but the memories that come flooding in to shatter his emotional equilibrium. And it gets even more complex, as his superior calls in some outside help: DI Ffion Lloyd (Elen Rhys), the officer who worked that previous case with Rick, and was also his fiancee. This is, for more than one reason, going to be a tough job. The two leads are wonderful in their portrayal of people bearing deep scars who suddenly find that their lengthy efforts to move on with their lives have been stymied by circumstance. As Rick Sheldon, Harrington is an unlikely thriller hero: greying, bespectacled and careworn, he brings classic middle-class dad energy, as he faces the sickening realities of a brutal world. He is a portrait of a weary man doing his duty even as the overwhelming sadness of the world bears down on him like a load of stones on his chest.
