Love is in the Belfast air in The Lovers, pro bakers battle for the Bake Off crown, and Sully's on top in the return of Top Boy.

You & Me

Monday

ITV2, 9.00pm

Industry's Harry Lawtey stars in this romantic comedy drama — emphasis on the drama —that aired on ITVX earlier in 2023.

He plays Ben, a young journalist in London who meets the love of his life at a bus stop, Jess (Sophia Brown). But a flash forward brings the fairytale to an abrupt end, as tragedy strikes on what is meant to be the happiest day of Ben's life. As the series jumps between timelines, the events surrounding the tragedy begin to unravel — as do Ben's links to Emma (played by The End of the F***ing World's Jessica Barden), an up and coming actor with her own traumatic past.

Bake Off: The Professionals (Final)

Tuesday

Channel 4, 8.00pm


Bake Off: The Professionals (credit: Channel 4)

Before the amateurs get going next week, the remaining professionals have just one more round to show them and judges Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden how it's done.

First they must bake a dessert trolley with a chiffon pie, jelly, and baked Alaska, before the last challenge sees the finalists given seven hours to create a banquet display fit for the roaring 20s theme, and which must have enough desserts to feed 80 people.

The Lovers

Thursday

Sky Atlantic, 2.00am

Johnny Flynn and Roisin Gallagher star as unlikely lovers in a new Belfast-set romcom.

Flynn plays the successful political broadcaster, Seamus, who literally falls into the life of life-weary Belfast supermarket worker Janet (Gallagher) when a local TV report of his backfires. He has a celebrity girlfriend back home in London, but with Janet, he has an undeniable fiery chemistry that sparks a passionate, if awkward, affair.

Top Boy: Series Three

Thursday

Netflix

The official trailer for the final chapter of Top Boy teased an explosive ending to the gangland drama. After the fourth series saw Sully (Kane Robinson) put an end to Dushane's (Ashley Walters) retirement plans by killing his chosen successor Jamie (Micheal Ward), the former is now hellbent on holding the throne.

But is he top boy material? A major test arrives in the form of Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan as Irish plug Jonny, who proves to be a much scarier prospect than his charming character in The Banshees of Inisherin.

The Changeling

Friday

Apple TV+

In The Changeling, what begins as a romantic drama descends into full-blown horror that imagines a mythological but modern-day New York underground. This adaptation of Victor LaValle's bestseller sees Lakeith Stanfield (the ever-rising Atlanta star) lead as Apollo, a New Yorker who falls for a fellow bookish type in Emmy (Clark Backo). 

But when they have a kid together, Emmy suffers from something they first suspect to be postnatal depression, only to realise they have ended up in "one ugly fairytale." It might have something to do with the lake-dwelling witch she encountered on her travels.
