After a scandalous celebrity divorce, Nevile Strange and his ex-wife Audrey make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile's aunt, Lady Tressilian.

With unfinished business between the former childhood sweethearts, plus the presence of Nevile’s new wife Kay, tensions are running high. There’s  a long-suffering lady’s companion, a mysterious gentleman’s valet, an exiled cousin with a grudge, a venerable family lawyer, an inquisitive orphan and a French con man, and soon there will be murder…

THE BAY

Sun 2 March

ITV1

We head back to crime-ridden Morecambe, for a fourth helping of popular police drama. Marsha Thomason stars as family liaison officer, DS Jenn Townsend, who finds herself trying to unpick a shocking crime. But, travelling the seaside town in search of clues is a lot easier than trying to help grieving relatives and those inadvertently caught up in events.  

When 23-year-old university student Hannah is found dead on the edge of the docks, the team has another case to solve – Jenn, who is returning to work following the death of her father, pushes aside her own grief to support Hannah’s bitterly divided family.

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN

Weds 5 March

Disney+

Old IPs never die, they just patiently wait to be picked up by a different platform. We return to the complex world of Matt Murdock. By day he’s a brilliant New York lawyer, by night he fights crime as Daredevil – the man without fear.

As Disney start to sort through an overwhelming array of MCU characters they now own the rights to, they’ve made the decision of reviving this hugely popular character (after last appearing on Netflix). Charlie Cox revives his role as the titular red-suited superhero - running, jumping and punching on behalf of the underdog, in a battle for justice on the unruly streets of Hells Kitchen.
