MUST-SEE SHOWS
DOCTOR WHO
Tonight, BBC1, 7.20pm
THE sci-fi series has been criticised for not employing more women writers, but this week’s episode has been penned by Sarah Dollard, who cut her teeth on Neighbours before working on such shows as Being Human, Merlin and Primeval; she also wrote last season’s Face the Raven, which featured the death of Clara.
The Doctor and Bill are attending the last of the great frost fairs in Rgency London where people have been vanishing from the ice and something appears to be stirring beneath it.
LINE OF DUTY
Tomorrow, BBC1, 9pm
ARE your nails bitten down to the quick? Have you had sleepless nights wondering whodunit? And have you vented rage and fury at the machinations of Roz Huntley?
Okay, so at times the plot has been a little overblown, but what it’s missed in logic it’s more than made up for in good, old fashioned thrills and spills.
But now it’s all about to reach the end – will Roz confess to save her husband’s neck, or will there be another twist to this enthralling tale?
We can’t wait.
LITTLE BOY BLUE
Monday, ITV, 9pm
FAMILY and friends attend the funeral of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, while a police raid at the home of Kevin Moody leads to the recovery of the gun used in the schoolboy’s murder.

THE TRUTH ABOUT STRESS
Thursday, BBC1, 9pm
THE World Health Organisation has called stress the ‘health epidemic of the 21st century’, and it has been blamed for contributing to illnesses such as diabetes, dementia and types of cancer. Here, Fiona Phillips explores scientific research into stress and demonstrates a number of techniques designed to decrease common factors. She also investigates whether it is inherently a bad thing, joining a number of volunteers who put themselves into a number of high-stress situations to truly understand its meaning and how people could use it to their advantage.
THE FINAL MYSTERY OF STONEHENGE
Friday, Channel 5, 8pm
