  • This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A strange, horrifying thing happened to Vera (Julia Ragnarsson) and her family one summer in her childhood, which is teased in tense flashbacks as this moreish Swedish thriller gets going.

    Now grownup, she’s a grief therapist – and when a young man called Isak (Erik Enge) comes to a session recalling his own traumas, it compels Vera to go home, face her past and find out what really happened.

    Another alfresco feast in picturesque surroundings as Ainsley Harriott holds court at the Wimpole Estate, a grand Cambridgeshire fiefdom that has roots stretching back more than 2,000 years.

    If Love Island is still very much your guilty pleasure (admittedly, it’s a small club), here are some take outs from a week in which a load of bombshells stirred things up in Casa Amor – the place that puts horny contestants’ loyalties to the ultimate test.

    But this penultimate episode of season three is a crucial one: big bald baddie Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz from the Walking Dead) is set to be released from prison after 17 years and all the vicious billionaire wants is revenge against poor Lois.

    At first glance, this psychological period thriller comes off as something of a Carol knock-off, with lots of sultry, smoky mid-century gazes between leads Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway.
