FIVE THINGS FOR YOUR WEEK...
STREAMING The Hunter
Walter Presents/All 4, from Friday
We’re travelling to Sicily in the 1990s for the latest award-winning offering from Walter Presents. Provincial prosecutor Saverio Barone is young, ambitious and has been the brains behind several street-level arrests in Palermo for a number of years, but as blood continues to flow on the city’s streets, he realises it’s time to make a stand. In a move Line of Duty’s AC-12 would be proud of, he turns in which own corrupt boss, to the horror of his colleagues. The move does, however, earn Barone a promotion to a unit specialising in bringing the Mafia to book.
DRAMA Ackley Bridge C4, 6pm, Monday
The Yorkshire-set schoolbased drama is back for a new run, but some things have changed. For a start it’s broadcasting each weekday for the next fortnight, and in a tea-time rather then primetime slot. We’re promised several fresh faces too, who we’ll be getting to know over the course of 10 episodes. Among them is mixed race pupil Kayla, who finds herself torn between her white mother’s family and her father’s traditional
Pakistani relatives. Also set to pop up are Kayla’s best friend, firebrand Fizza, and Romany Gypsy community member Johnny, whose good looks are sure to turn a few heads.
SPORT Match of the Day Live: The FA Cup BBC1, 5.10pm, Saturday
Last month, Pep Guardiola’s runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City beat Everton 2-0, thanks to late goals from Ilkay Gundogan, left, and Kevin de Bruyne, to reach the last four of the FA Cup. However, they face another significant challenge today in the form of eight-time winners Chelsea. The Blues are going well under new manager Thomas Tuchel, with the German safely steering them to an unrivalled 12th semi-final this century thanks to a 2-0 win over struggling Sheffield United.
DOCUMENTARY Different League: The Derry City Story BBC2, regions vary, Monday
Derry City FC has been in existence since 1928, but it’s endured a chequered history, including a 13-year spell out of the limelight before joining the League of Ireland’s new First Division for the 1985/86 season. Now local boy and supporter Guy King, a producer/director, has made a documentary about that momentous period in the club’s history, which he describes as a ‘rebirth’. King has managed to track down key players from the era as well as longstanding fans, who discuss their memories.
PODCAST The Missing - various platforms
Hosted by journalist Pandora Sykes, ‘The Missing’ is a new Podimo podcast that looks into the cases of the long-term missing and asks the listener, to help. Brought to you in association with charities Locate International and Missing People, every week they explore a different case, hear original interviews with family and friends, and ask the questions that need to be answered. Where did they go? And does anyone listening have any information?
