BEST OF THE REST
MARCELLA ITV, 9pm
WE’VE got a cushion ready to hide behind before this even starts – there are seemingly no limits to how dark this thriller can get. With endless grotesque plot lines and a pounding soundtrack, it makes for stressful viewing.
Last we saw, Alan took Reg off for a night out, and then (we think) shoved him under a speeding train.
Meanwhile, Nigel Stafford, who lives next to that house of horrors, said he saw a red car turn up at the house.
Doesn’t retail boss Vince Whitman own a red car?
In tonight’s gruelling episode, the evidence is beginning to stack up against Vince, and Nigel enters a line-up room to pick out the man he saw.
The clock is ticking for the team, with Karim still missing and possibly still alive.
And just to put further strain on a fragile Marcella (Anna Friel), Whitman tells her that Tim (Jamie Bamber) has been sleeping with his wife.
THRIFTY WAYS TO... SUMMER HOLIDAY Channel 4, 8.30pm
THE recent cold weather spell has surely inspired us all to think about our summer holidays. And so, bang on time, here are Katie Piper (presenter and enthusiastic traveller) and travel industry insider Amar Latif to give viewers hot tips on getting a good bargain.
Summer holidays can be extortionate, with prices hiked up during the school break and travel companies and airlines raking it in.
So even though most of the tips here are nothing we’ve not heard before, this is quite a handy reminder of how to get those cut price deals.
Book your flights early and midweek, seek out where the locals shop, haggle with the hotels, it’s all good advice.
And there are one of two you might not have considered, like a holiday home swap.
Katie and Amar are each given a budget and a challenge too, which makes this a light-hearted look at some money saving hacks.
