Hometown: A Killing BBC3, from Wednesday

In 2018, investigative journalist Mobeen Azhar returned to his home town of Huddersfield to investigate a disturbing rise in violent crime.

The resulting documentary was aired last year to critical acclaim.

Now Azhar is back in West Yorkshire for a new two-part series in which he faces the locals who criticised the programme.

He also uncovers a new threat currently spilling on to the streets.

The English Game Netflix, from Friday

Julian Fellowes is a very busy man. Not only has he written The Gilded Age, a series set during 1880s New York, he’s also behind new ITV period drama Belgravia and this six-part insight into the origins of football.

Fellowes doesn’t seem like your archetypal fan of the beautiful game, but he certainly knows a thing or two about historical tales, so expect lots of details about mid-19th Century England.

The plot looks at how two forms of the game developed – a rough one more akin to rugby, played by the gentry, and another more elegant sport, played by the working class, closer to the football we know today – and how they were eventually melded together.

Edward Holcroft, Craig Parkinson and Gerard Kearns star.

The Letter For The King Netflix, from Friday

The TV world continues in its nigh-on impossible quest to fill the gap left by Game Of Thrones.

The latest offering entering the fray is this six-part series based on the classic Dutch novel De Brief Voor De Koning by Tonke Dragt, set in a fictional medieval world.

Amir Wilson heads the cast as Tiuri, a teenage trainee knight who discovers a magical prophecy.
