STREAMING Now and Then, Apple TV+, streaming now

The streaming service’s first bilingual series is about to make its debut. Shot in both Spanish and English, it’s a thrilling tale told across eight episodes – the first three are being made available immediatel­y, with one new edition following every Friday. It begins as a group of best friends celebrate the end of their college days with a huge weekend party – during which one of them dies. Fast forward 20 years as the remaining five are reluctantl­y brought back together by a threat that could ruin their seemingly perfect lives. A musing on the difference­s between youthful aspiration­s and the realities of adulthood, the show stars Rosie

Perez, Marina de Tavira, Zeljko Ivanek and Jorge Lopez.

SERIES Idris Elba’s Fight School, BBC2, 9pm, Sunday

We’ve reached the last episode of this – pardon the pun – knockout series and it’s going to pull on the heartstrin­gs until the very final moments. The actor’s team are about to face the British Army’s elite boxing team and 29-year-old Chanika struggles with the imposing opposition. Sadly, it’s the Omicron variant that puts the kybosh on the event, the night before it’s due to take place: the bout is cancelled and Fight School is forced to close. Can Idris keep up the momentum and pull off a sporting miracle?

HOMES The Great Garden Revolution, C4, 8.15pm, Saturday

A variety of programmes were created during lockdown that might otherwise never have seen the light of day. Those in charge of commission­ing took it upon themselves to order series that tapped into the psyche of viewers who were spending their

newfound free time taking up crafts or gardening, or simply wanted to make the environmen­t in which they were largely trapped all the more appealing and comfortabl­e. One such show was The Great Garden Revolution, which proved popular enough to return for a second run. Horticultu­rist Errol Reuben Fernandes joins the team, which also includes designer Joel Bird and craftsman Bruce Kenneth. The trio set about demonstrat­ing ways in which we can all revamp our outdoor spaces, and begin by helping a family from Chichester who want to create something relaxing.

CRIME Grace, ITV, 8pm, Sunday

Fans of successful crime novels can be twitchy when their favourite detectives make the leap to the small screen, but Peter James’ DSI Roy Grace is in the safest of hands with John Simm. Series two concludes with an adaptation of the book Dead Tomorrow, in which Grace is faced with one of his most challengin­g cases.

DOCUMENTAR­Y ABBA: The Missing 40 Years, C5, 9.20pm, Saturday

In 1982, fans around the world were devastated when the four members of Abba announced they were going their separate ways. It seemed as if an irreparabl­e rift had developed between them, but it must have healed to a certain extent in the 40 years since then, because they’ve come back together to record new music and have created a stage show.
