The Traitors returns to the Highlands with trust in short supply and paranoia running riot. Claudia Winkleman is back in the castle, red cloak and all, as 22 hopefuls from across the UK scheme, swear and side-eye their way towards a £120k prize. With deadlier mind games, tougher missions and banishments that sting even more, expect secrets to spill and friendships to crack over breakfast.

The Night Manager slips back into the shadows with the danger dialled right up. Tom Hiddleston returns as Jonathan Pine, drawn once more into a sleek, high-stakes world of espionage that pulls him deep into hostile territory.

As Yasmin circles Kit Harington’s seductive tech titan Sir Henry Muck and Harper falls under the spell of Max Minghella’s dangerously smooth power broker, old loyalties begin to fray. Sharper suits, bigger risks and egos in overdrive, this is ambition at full throttle.
Can You Keep a Secret?
Watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from Wednesday 7th January
Can You Keep a Secret? opens with a lie so big it barely fits in the loft. Dawn French stars as Debbie Fendon, a lawn-bowling granny with a flair for chaos, who persuades her very-much-alive husband Mark Heap to fake his own death for the insurance payout. Panic quickly sets in for their tightly wound son Harry, Craig Roberts, who has already buried his dad, spent the money and married a local police officer, Mandip Gill’s ruthlessly sensible Neha. With secrets multiplying, nerves fraying and one pensioner refusing to stay dead, this is family life with a distinctly criminal edge.

Patience returns with bigger brains, bolder cases and a few more spanners in the works.

Stirring things up is Jessica Hynes as DI Frankie Monroe, a new boss whose very different leadership style sends shockwaves through the station. Throw in workplace romance, a glossy PR makeover and murders in iconic York locations and this second series proves that keeping calm is far harder than cracking the case.

Sun-soaked, slyly suspenseful and effortlessly escapist, this is crime-solving best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand.
