PICK OF THE DAY

THE WIDOW, 9PM, ITV

THIS eight-part thriller from the prolific Harry and Jack Williams (The Missing, Rellik, Liar et al) was co-produced by Amazon, and you can see that money up on screen, from the e exotic locations and the number of extras to the starry cast — Kate Beckinsale, Charles Dance and Alex Kingston. Beckinsale (pictured) plays Georgia, the widow of the title, who’s living out her days in rural Wales and mourning the loss of her reporter husband in a plane crash in Africa three years ago. They never found a body, though, and when Georgia suddenly realises all is not as it seems, she jets off to the Congo. Continues tomorrow.
