BEST OF THE REST
REQUIEM BBC1, 9pm
STEEL yourself. As this creepy psychological drama crashes to its conclusion it becomes even scarier.
Various people have already met a sticky end, and last we saw, Hal (Joel Fry) had rolled his car and then disappeared. Is he alive?
Meanwhile, Matilda (Lydia Wilson) finally clocks that Nick (James Frecheville) hasn’t been on her side. But he reveals: “All I know is they were planning something tonight, something big, something bad.”
After which a badly injured Sean arrives to warn Matilda: “If you stay, you’re going to die.”
Will Matilda leg it from the ghostly Welsh town? Of course not. She wants to know what really happened all those years ago – and so do we.
LIP SYNC BATTLE UK Channel 5, 10.30pm
BY rights, this should not be a good show. Surely celebrities lip-synching to pop songs is the anti-talent show?
But for all its ridiculous yelling and trash talk, plus a premise that hangs on a thread, it is positively addictive telly.
Spice Girl Mel B is too loud as always, doing her very best to big this up into some kind of heavyweight boxing clash, with rap star Professor Green quietly bouncing back the banter.
And then to the glorious performances, this time from comedians Sally Phillips and Robert Webb.
The mics are switched off, the wigs are put on, and there’s everything to mime for, as the pair have a go at Gangnam Style and Careless Whisper.
But watch out for Robert doing Kylie in THAT outfit – an image you certainly won’t get out of your head for a while.
