PICK OF THE DAY
Tin Star: Liverpool Sky Atlantic, 9pm & 10pm
What first began as a fish-out-of-water tale of a Brit, Jack Worth (Tim Roth), making a new life as a policeman in Canada with his family in tow has gradually revealed itself over two previous seasons to be an unrelentingly dark saga of a man fleeing from a violent past.
Now, in the third and final season, we are at last set to find out the secrets of 20 years ago that Jack and Angela (Genevieve O’Reilly, near right with Roth and Abigail Lawrie) fled, as they return to Liverpool with a long list of enemies.
But before all that unfinished business in the opening double bill, there’s still time for a few of those characteristically quirky Tin Star touches, including a karaoke night out at the wonderfully named Superstar Boudoir nightclub, and an impromptu exchange on the correct way to pronounce ‘scone’.
