The Jetty
Monday, 9pm, BBC One
Jenna Coleman is back with another twisty primetime thriller – a timely four-part story about a detective and a podcast journalist coming together to see how crimes in a Lancashire lakeside town might be connected. Coleman is straight-talking DC Ember Manning who, after her husband’s death, seems to be moving on well enough with their teenage daughter. A local arson attack leads Manning to reach out to Riz (Weruche Opia) – who is investigating a missing persons cold case – and a man in his 20s who had relationships with two underage girls. Manning’s discoveries soon compel her to question her own past relationship and the age gap between them when they met. Hollie Richardson

Young Soul Rebels (Isaac Julien, 1991) Monday, 2.15 am, Sky Cinema Greats
A landmark work in the history of Black British cinema, Isaac Julien’s 1991 drama feels like a precursor to Steve McQueen’s Small Axe in its mixing of race, sexuality, politics and music. Set in London during the 1977 Silver Jubilee celebrations, it follows friends and pirate radio soul DJs Chris (Valentine Nonyela) and Caz (Mo Sesay) as they navigate racism and homophobia, love and ambition, while the unsolved murder of a young gay black man puts the community on edge.
