Beyond Paradise

Saturday 4 January 7:30 pm

A new adventure awaits as DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and his fiancée Martha (Sally Breton) leave London for her hometown of Shipton Abbott, situated near the beautiful Devon coast.

Temporarily living with Martha’s mum Anne, they are thrown in the deep end: Martha pursues her dream of running a business, whilst Humphrey joins the Shipton Abbott police force.

Together with his eclectic new team, Humphrey must solve a host of baffling mysteries, as well as navigate life’s ups and downs with all his characteristic warmth and good humour.

Love Me Final episode

Sunday 5 January 9.20pm

Peter visits Clara to see why she ran off last night. He lays it on the line – he’s in love with her – but still, she says nothing.

Aaron and Jesse make their way to the city together, both wondering what their kiss really meant. They both feel it and decide to take the leap.

At the hospital, Clara and Sacha get on the nitrous oxide, both laughing and crying about the mess of their lives. Clara’s a jumble of emotions – family relations, grief for the loss of her mother, what to do about Peter. But it’s Sacha’s blunt assessment that makes her start to see what she must do to be happy.

As the wedding looms, Anita and Glen get stuck in to organising. But the two very different approaches expose their different personalities. Anita wants an informal party that will make people feel welcome; Glen wants a formal affair that ticks all the traditional boxes and demonstrates their commitment.

Having finally found his soulmate, Aaron has a renewed sense of purpose. That is until Ella appears and explains why she hasn’t stopped calling him. Knocked for six by the revelation, he can’t see the way forward anymore and avoids Jesse.

The night before the wedding, Glen asks Clara to read a passage at the ceremony. It’s not until she’s on her way that she opens it up to read. The sentiment hits her and suddenly she knows what she has to do. She sets out to find Peter.

As the guests begin to gather, Aaron tells Jesse what he’s been hiding. It’s the wrong time and it backfires. Glen and Anita wed, and Clara reads the passage Glen had sent over.

Finally, in all their grief and fear, The Mathiesons are prepared to risk love and loss again and let it in.

Monty Don’s Spanish Gardens Episode 2

Friday 10 January 7.30pm

Monty Don is in the south of Spain visiting gardens that show how this part of the country has evolved thanks to influences from visitors and settlers from ancient to modern times.

Monty Don travels across the southern part of Spain from the island of Mallorca to the Costa del Sol and then inland ending in one of Spain’s most famous cities and the capital of Andalusia, Seville.

Starting in Mallorca, Monty visits four very different gardens: a historic one with the elements of water and fantasy enjoyed in past times; a garden made out of the harshest of landscapes by a Swiss woman intent on creating a Mediterranean garden; an iconic modern garden created by one of Spain’s leading designers, and one created for parties and the holiday lifestyle.

From here Monty travels to the mainland and visits an astonishing UNESCO site where hundreds of thousands of palms are grown and still tended using methods established centuries ago.

He then heads to the Costa del Sol and Estepona to see how the enterprising local council have transformed their town, pushing cars out of the urban area and putting back the elements that had first drawn people to it.
Monty ends his journey in Seville where behind the city’s walls are historic well-tended gardens as well as parks that shade city dwellers from the 40-degree heat even in springtime. He visits a palace as colourful and flamboyant as its owner and another that reflects the strong Italian connections of another Spanish family as well as seeing out shade from one of the city’s well-tended parks.

Until I Kill You

Sunday 12 January 8.30pm, double episode

This true crime drama shows how Delia Balmer survived a series of violent attacks by boyfriend John Sweeney, to pursue a traumatic journey to justice.

EPISODE 1 – LOVE
Delia meets John Sweeney in a pub, sparking an unexpected romance. As the relationship develops, Delia begins to suspect John is hiding a murderous past.

London, 1991: Out for a drink in a local pub with her nursing colleagues, Delia Balmer meets carpenter John Sweeney, recently returned from Amsterdam. Beguiled by his rebellious attitude and approach to life, a relationship starts and Delia quickly invites him to move in to her flat.

In Amsterdam, we meet American, Jack Halstead, appealing to the Dutch police for help in finding his missing daughter, Melissa.

On a Christmas trip to meet Sweeney’s family in Skelmersdale, Delia discovers that he has an ex-wife and children he no longer sees. What else is he hiding from her?

As the relationship worsens and Delia grows more afraid of Sweeney’s temper, Leah counsels her to throw him out. But Delia’s attempt to break up with Sweeney prompts him to reveal his darkest secret and his true violent nature.

EPISODE 2 – HATE
When Sweeney’s violent nature is finally revealed, Delia uses all her guile to escape with her life. In Amsterdam, police try to identify a body.

Delia uses all her guile to escape Sweeney’s violence. With Leah’s help, she must decide what to do next – will going to the police put her in more danger from Sweeney? Delia reluctantly talks to the local Domestic Violence unit, but by the time they return to her flat, Sweeney has fled.

Frustrated with the police’s dismissive attitude to Sweeney’s disturbing drawings of his ex-girlfriend, Melissa, Delia refuses to leave her flat and go to temporary accommodation. So when Sweeney is finally arrested, but astonishingly bailed for his attack on Delia, she finds herself once more at risk.

Until I Kill You Episodes 3 and 4

Sunday 19 January 8.30pm

EPISODE 3 – HEALING
Having barely escaped with her life, Delia lies in a critical condition in hospital as police search for Sweeney. Delia slowly recovers, but Sweeney continues to evade capture. With her family in North America and no friends allowed to visit for security, Delia initially relies on her Family Liaison Officer, Jane Barker, for comfort – until she believes that even she has betrayed her.
Plagued by PTSD and nightmares, Delia nevertheless picks up the pieces of her life and moves to a new council flat. She meets David, a sweet man who sees past her prickly exterior, and finds some long overdue happiness. But when the news comes that Sweeney has finally been arrested and she must give evidence against him in court, her hard-won peace is shattered all over again.

EPISODE 4 – JUSTICE
Delia testifies against Sweeney in court. Instead of bringing peace with a guilty verdict, the trauma of the experience and Sweeney’s paltry sentence leaves her angrier than ever.
In the wake of the trial, Delia and David’s relationship breaks down, and Delia finds an outlet in angry letters to the police and Home Office complaining about her treatment and their failings in dealing with Sweeney.
Almost a decade later, police in Amsterdam make a remarkable discovery – they have finally identified Melissa Halstead’s body. As Sweeney’s parole date draws nearer, police in London must liaise with the Dutch force to put a case together and charge Sweeney with the murders of both Melissa and another young woman named Paula Fields. Delia’s evidence is crucial to a conviction, but will the terror of having to relive her experiences yet again finally push her beyond endurance?
