📺 The Newsreader (Season 3) – 9pm
BBC Two and iPlayer
This acclaimed Australian drama returns with its sharp blend of newsroom politics and personal intrigue. Set in 1989, Helen (Anna Torv) is making waves with her own current affairs programme, while Dale (Sam Reid) cements his place as one of the network’s top presenters.

📺 I Fought the Law: The Ann Ming Story
ITV1 and ITVX
A powerful documentary recounts Ann Ming’s extraordinary 17-year fight to overturn the centuries-old double jeopardy law. Following the 1989 murder of her daughter Julie Hogg, Ann refused to give up until her daughter’s killer was finally brought to justice. Narrated by Sheridan Smith, the programme also explores how Ming’s persistence paved the way for other landmark cases, including the conviction of Stephen Lawrence’s killers.
📺 Taskmaster (New Series)
Channel 4
Greg Davies and Alex Horne are back with another batch of brilliantly bizarre challenges. This time, comedians Maisie Adam, Reece Shearsmith, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Phil Ellis, and Ania Magliano step into the Taskmaster arena. Expect chaos as they wrestle with codes, gym balls, and some truly questionable sound effects—all while trying (and often failing) to keep their dignity intact.
📺 The Rumour (Episode 2)
Channel 5
The psychological drama deepens tonight as Joanna finds herself cornered by both the press and her own fears. A reporter’s probing questions reveal that someone close has leaked information, while an unsettling twist sees Michael collect Alfie from school without her consent. As panic sets in, Joanna races to protect her family. Meanwhile, on Halloween night, a group of children wander into Sonia’s house—only to uncover a shocking secret that will change everything.
✨ Whether you’re in the mood for romance, comedy, or an edge-of-your-seat thriller, tonight’s lineup delivers something for everyone.
