Bulletproof

Tuesday: Sky One, 9pm

Sky One’s new police procedural is anything but pedestrian. Ashley Walters (Top Boy) and Noel Clarke (Kidulthood) are best friends and police officers who tackle crime and “ghosts from their pasts” in an homage to US shows in the same vein.

Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier

Wednesday: Dave, 10pm

​

Jon Richardson worries – as anyone who has seen his stand-up will know. Now, armed with his own panel show he is cheerfully able to contemplate every little worry that pops into his head with the aid of a panel of less anxious individuals. The first episode features fellow comedians Josh Widdicombe and Suzi Ruffell to discuss matters of the home; not only where the heart is but “also where you’re most likely to be burgled or involved in a serious accident” apparently.

Humans

Thursday: Channel 4, 9pm

Following on from the uplifting events of the last season where humanoid “synths” were all set to receive consciousness, we are abruptly informed, before the titles, that it didn’t quite go to plan. A mass malfunction has led to over 100,000 human deaths. This has led to the creation of a new class of “safe synths” equipped with orange eyes rather than the usual radioactive blue or green. Older synths are confined to prison camps and are rapidly breaking down, due to a lack of spare parts. Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd) is still campaigning for “synthetic rights” and synths Mia and Max (Gemma Chan and Ivanno Jeremiah) are at loggerheads over whether to make peace with the humans or tear them to pieces.

Praise be! The Handmaid’s Tale finally returns, with June (Elisabeth Moss) pregnant but the identity of the father a mystery.
