Trailers & UK Air Dates For New & Returning Shows To Watch Over The Next 7 Day On Television

We might all be stuck at home, but the UK broadcasters have set up a solid range of comedy and drama to keep you entertained over the next 7 days. Whether it’s the cut-throat world of celebrity PR, a surprise text message from a long-lost love, or a cat and mouse game with a psychopath, there is plenty for you to watch this week on UK television. Here is our pick of the week’s tv.

Flack, Season 2 – W – 13 April 2020 at 10:00 pm

Set in the fast-paced and cut-throat world of celebrity PR, ‘Flack’ reflects the brutal reality and complexities of modern life where problems can go viral in an instant. The series centres on an American PR executive (Anna Paquin) living in London who must figure out how to make the best of bad situations and somehow manage to get out unscathed.

Season 1 left viewers in the grizzly aftermath of a Premier League footballer’s wedding, Robyn’s work and home lives having collided catastrophically when she could no longer resist the temptations of her myriad of addictions. She did manage to save Melody (Rebecca Benson) from the clutches of a group of dangerously “friendly” footballers before firing her as the PR intern (for her own good) but closer relationships proved to be damaged beyond repair, and having been rejected by her sister and normal ‘last port in a storm’ Ruth (Genevieve Angelson), Robyn finally realised that she’d run out of road.

Will Eve (Lydia Wilson) ever forgive Robyn, and on a broader scale, with Melody frozen out, will Mills Paulson PR ever be the same again? Caroline (Sophie Okonedo CBE) has bigger fish to fry in a shakeup that could change her business forever. Throughout all this, the team continue to try their best to keep the outrageous indiscretions of their celebrity clients firmly behind closed doors.

Killing Eve, Season 3 – BBC iPlayer – 13 April 2020

The third series continues the compelling cat and mouse story of two women with brutal pasts now trying desperately to live their lives without the other. For Villanelle (Jodie Comer), the assassin without a job, Eve (Sandra Oh) is dead. As for Eve, the ex-MI6 operative is hiding in plain sight, hoping that Villanelle will never find her. All seems fine until a shocking death sets them on a collision course yet again. The journey back to each other will cost both of them friends, family, and allegiances. And perhaps a share of their souls.

The third series of ‘Killing Eve’ will be available to stream in the UK exclusively on BBC iPlayer from Monday 13 April 2020 – the day after it launches on BBC America. Episodes will then drop weekly and be available to stream every Monday from 6am. The series will also air on BBC One from Sunday 19 April 2020 at 9pm.

From Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Vicky Jones, ‘Run’ is a romantic comedic thriller about a woman, Ruby Richardson (Merritt Wever) who walks away from her ordinary life in the suburbs to revisit her past with her college boyfriend, Billy Johnson (Domhnall Gleeson), with whom she made a pact 17 years prior that if either one of them texted the word “RUN” and the other replied with the same, they would drop everything and meet in Grand Central Station and travel across America together.

Meanwhile, Grace grapples with her new pregnancy, the Major attempts to tighten her grip on the unwitting Saanvi, all while the clock on the lives of the 828ers continues to tick towards zero.
