Les Miserables

9PM, BBC1

In episode three of this epic saga, a tormented Jean Valjean (Dominic West) reveals his true identity – at a devastating personal cost – while things are looking up for those dreadful Thenardiers (Olivia Colman and Adeel Akhtar) when a rich stranger arrives at their inn. Thankfully, their joy is shortlived. MIKE MULVIHILL
