■ The Cry is a dark and disturbing drama based on Helen FitzGerald’s bestselling novel. Told in flashbacks, the story follows the traumatic and unexplained disappearance of a baby. Jenna Coleman, left, gives another sterling performance as young mother Joanna, struggling to cope with her baby. Ewen Leslie is also well cast as controlling husband, Alistair. This tale looks set to have lots of twists and turns.

■ How good to have endearing couple Timothy West and Prunella Scales back in Great Canal Journeys on Channel 4. This time they travel along the river Nile in Egypt, meeting interesting people and visiting some wonderful historic sites. But it is their affectionate relationship that makes these shows so engaging. DW Shattock, Bristol
