remember watching the excellent first season. The final season follows DI Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and DS Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) as they investigat­e a serious sexual assault.

Top Billing (SABC3, Thursday at 8.30pm): This week high-flyers Abba Mafolo and Vincent Morena return to their roots to get married in style. At SA Fashion Week, eight designers go from runway to rail; and former Springbok rugby player Ryan Kankowski is loving rugby and green tea in Japan but home is where his heart lies. An accident is just a bump in the road for Moto3 World Champion Brad Binder, and it’s disco and drag on a bus as Priscilla Queen of The Desert – the stage show, hits town.

Shots Fired (Fox Africa, Thursday at 9pm): This 10-hour event series which began this week examines the dangerous aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small Southern town, providing an explosive autopsy of the US criminal justice system.

Fargo (M-Net 101, Thursday at 9.30pm): Another Express show, this one premieres in the US on April 19. The 10-episode third season of Fargo, an American anthology black comedy-crime drama television series created by Noah Hawley, stars Ewan McGregor (in dual roles), Carrie Coon, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, David Thewlis and Jim Gaffigan.

As an anthology, each Fargo season has its own self-contained narrative, following a disparate set of characters in various settings, albeit in a connected shared universe. This season is set around St Cloud and Eden Valley, Minnesota in December 2010. Emmit (McGregor) is a handsome, successful self-made man, while his younger brother, Ray (also McGregor), a parole officer, blames Emmit for his misfortune­s.

Their sibling rivalry leads them into a world of murder, crime, and mobsters. Like with seasons one and two, which had clever connection­s, so too will this one.
