Jericho
ITV
9pm
ITV’s new period drama is set in the shanty town of Jericho in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1870s.
Rough and remote, the town has a carnival-like atmosphere as pioneers, navvies and outcasts form a community in the shadow of a viaduct they have come together to build.
Annie Quaintain (Jessica Raine) is one of those drawn to the fledgling town. After the death of her schoolmaster husband sees her left widowed and penniless with children to support, she must make money where she can. She struggles to make ends meet in Jericho, where she is forced to take in rowdy navvy workmen as lodgers.
In this wild town, it’s hard to know whether railway foreman Ralph Coates (Clarke Peters) is a kindly bystander, or someone with a secret motive.

Explorer Levison Wood continues his 1700-mile trek across the backbone of Asia.

This visit is far from calm either, as the pair has to flee their campsite to avoid being flooded by monsoon rains. After failing to find shelter, they press on towards Parya’s home town in darkness. Things get even worse, however, when the brakes on the taxi fail, threatening not just the expedition, but the lives of its passengers.
