The Fortune Hotel

Monday

ITV1, 9.00pm

The Split’s Stephen Mangan hosts 10 pairs of contestants at ‘The Fortune Hotel’ in Grenada. Husbands and wives, business partners, and father daughter duos all arrive to be greeted by Mangan and are each handed a briefcase. One is stuffed full of bills, amounting to £250,000, eight of them are empty, and one has an early checkout card.

Each pair will know what is in their personal briefcase, and it’s up to them to deceive their fellow hotel guests through a series of games and challenges. All to ensure that they wind up with the cash prize at the end of the episode, and not an early exit.

The Gathering

Tuesday

Channel 4, 9.00pm

Novelist Helen Walsh’s debut drama explores the darkest side of teen competitive sport, against a Merseyside backdrop.

Teen gymnast Kelly (Eva Morgan in her debut) is attending an illegal beach rave when she has her head forced underwater. The series flashes back to a few months prior and becomes a retrospective whodunnit, inspecting the events leading up to the attack from a fresh perspective in each episode.

It appears the assailant could be anyone: it could be her fellow competitive gymnast Jessica (Sadie Soverall, Saltburn), it could be Jessica’s overbearing mother (Vinette Robinson, Boiling Point), and it could be any of her free running gang or school mates.

Better Off Dead?

Tuesday

BBC One, 9.00pm

Liz Carr is an actor and disability rights activist, known for her roles in Black Mirror and Good Omens. In this documentary she studies the potential dangers that could come with assisted dying.

Although Carr agrees assisted suicide may be a good option for some, new legalisations could threaten the autonomy of disabled people such as herself. Carr will visit Baroness Jane Campbell, who had a ‘do not resuscitate’ order placed on her whilst in hospital for a routine illness. She also travels to Canada to be confronted with laws that allow assisted dying for the disabled as well as the terminally ill.

Bridgerton

Thursday

Netflix

The spicy regency drama is back, and this time the attention shifts to long-time friends Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, played by Luke Newton (The Lodge) and Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls).

Penelope has been in love with Colin for as long as audiences have known her, but Colin has been a bit slow on the uptake. He told a group of peers in series two that “he would never consider courting her”, much to Penelope’s upset when she overheard.

In series three, Colin is back from travelling with a newfound confidence, and Pen has found she must get a husband to escape her mother and sisters. The two are brought back together when Colin agrees to help Pen with her confidence, and help her find a match.

Rebus

Saturday

BBC One, 9:25pm

Inspector Rebus steps out of Ian Rankin’s novels and onto the screen.

Richard Rankin (Outlander) stars as a younger reimagining of John Rebus, a detective sergeant torn between his family and his values when his brother crosses onto the wrong side of the law. Just like in the 24-book series, Edinburgh’s scenery will be engrained throughout, while Rebus will be his serious self, this time answering the age-old question, is blood thicker than water?
