DI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) and DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) are in pursuit of a car thief
DI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) and DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) are in pursuit of a car thief

DCI Gene Hunt, DI Alex Drake, DS Ray Carling and DC Chris Skelton are in hot pursuit of major car thief Jed Wicklow as the new series of the police drama set in the Eighties continues. Gene is determined to catch Wicklow, but the thief's driving becomes more erratic and the chase ends in tragedy.

Gene stands accused of death by dangerous driving. However, Alex is adamant there was something wrong with Jed at the wheel and sets out to prove the crash wasn't Gene's fault.

Jed was a Romany and tensions are running high when his community discover what's happened. A volunteer, Dr Battleford, tries to diffuse the situation but Gene is instantly suspicious of his motives.

The post mortem shows a high level of sedatives in Jed's system. Now dealing with a murder investigation, Gene and the team return to the Romany camp, where they uncover a large quantity of sleeping pills.

As the investigation takes a new direction, Gene is invited by Supermac into the inner sanctum of the ancient order of the Masons. Gene soon realises how deep the corruption runs, but will he succumb? Alex suspects that the only man she trusts in this world may have gone rotten, but could Gene just be playing a careful game?

Alex is still receiving messages about the future from a mysterious, haunting stranger, who appears to be offering her a way home. However, Alex can't help but wonder if he really is the key to getting back to the future.

DCI Gene Hunt is played by Philip Glenister, DI Alex Drake by Keeley Hawes, DS Ray Carling by Dean Andrews, DC Chris Skelton by Marshall Lancaster, Dr Battleford by Joseph Millson and Supermac by Roger Allam.

The Omid Djalili Show Ep 2/6

Monday 27 April
10.35-11.05pm BBC ONE

James Bond, Napoleon and mini-cab drivers are just some of the subjects lampooned by Britain's best-loved British-Iranian comedian as The Omid Djalili Show continues on BBC One. Stuffed full of sketches, songs and stand-up, the series sees the popular comedian bring a cornucopia of colourful characters to life and take a uniquely adult look at contemporary issues including race, religion, football and lad culture.

Tonight, Omid's journey through history continues with his highly original portrayal of Henry VIII. With the departure of Catherine of Aragon, the King is looking for fresh blood. Spotting Anne Boleyn embroidering quietly under a tree, the tinsel-tongued Tudor sets out to woo her.

French history also comes under the microscope with Omid's take on Napoleon Bonaparte. The diminutive Emperor has conquered all of Europe and turns to his next ambition – to be a catwalk model ... but woe betide anyone who suggests height may be an issue.

Next, Omid steps into the inventive shoes of James Bond's gadget man, Q. Showing 007 around his customised Aston Martin DB7, Q is keen to point out the innovative windscreen-wiper and central-locking systems. "Is everything ok at home, Q?" asks the bemused secret agent.

Straightforward stand-up is also on the agenda as Omid's musings cover the British love of queuing and football chants. And, finally, mini-cab drivers and London cabbies have a musical stand-off (The Knowledge versus sat nav) in song and dance spectacular Minicab – The Musical.

Great British Menu

Monday 27 April to Friday 1 May
6.30-7.00pm BBC TWO

It's the South-West heat in the search to find the Great British Menu and two Michelin-starred chefs, Nathan Outlaw (Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, Cornwall) and Shaun Rankin (Bohemia Bar & Restaurant, Jersey), battle it out for a place in the final.

Nathan has based his starter recipe on a simple homely dish of duck egg and soldiers, with a Michelin-starred twist, of course. He wants the best possible eggs and duck meat to make his dish a winner. He visits a local duck supplier in Cornwall to select what he believes to be the winning ingredients for his starter recipe.

Shaun is a proud champion of the produce available to him on the island and could think of nothing more fitting for his dessert than treacle tart with Jersey clotted cream and raspberry ripple ice cream. He visits one of Jersey's 29 dairy farmers and helps to milk the 200-strong herd. Here, he learns about the unique qualities of the famed Jersey cow and what makes their milk so creamy.

Former winner Mark Hix is on hand this week to offer advice and constructive criticism to the South-West competitors.

At the end of the week, judges Oliver Payton, Matthew Fort and Prue Leith decide which chef will make it through to the next round.
